RX Vega 64 Vs GTX 1080 FE Overclocking Showdown!

2017-09-16
today's video is brought to you in part by the courser one pro gaming system get your game on okay are you guys ready for a challenge how about overclocking with the GT X 1080 fountain edition versus the RX Vega 64 but this time the liquid cooled edition of the Vega and the founders edition which is an air-cooled card but crazy overclocking we tested like 28 games all overclocked and so those the results we're gonna be bringing you guys today now we used wot man for all of the AMD overclocking and then we used afterburner from MSI for all the stuff on the GTX 1080 side of things so for those guys wondering what do we use to do the aura clocking well those were the two tools that we use but we've got a whole lot of games and I think at the end of the day you guys are going to look at the results to go wow I think this is actually pretty interesting because really the results thing today are very very interesting it's a very very swap off thing between the two cards I mean I think you guys will totally agree that the things that kind of balance out between them make them in a way pretty equal you know there's we'll just we'll just jump right in first let's first talk about the test system the drivers were used then let's get in there let's check out those benchmarks so the parts that we use in the test bench that you're seeing in today's video consists of an Intel Core i7 6700 K at 4.0 gigahertz which turbos to 4.6 gigahertz now this was done in an asrock z170 motherboard 16 gigabytes of HyperX ddr4 at 3333 megahertz the driver that we used for the gtx 1080 was the whq l3 5.41 and for the Vegas 64 we used the 17.8 2 driver all results in today's testing show average frame rates but we also include the minimum frame rates as well alright gamers Before we jump in and conclude the video let's check out a word from today's sponsor Corsair the Corsair one pro is the perfect compact gaming PC standing at just under 15 inches tall with a depth of 7.7 inches it features a liquid-cooled GTX 1080i so you know you're going to get amazing 4k graphics it also has a liquid-cooled i7 CPU on a mini ix motherboard and you can get up to 32 gigabytes of ddr4 DRAM memory with a 4 and 80 gigabyte m2 SSD which is 5 times faster than a SATA SSD the one pro also supports up to 2 2.5 inch drives at up to 2 terabytes and best of all it's VR ready with HDMI and USB ports right in the front and you also get three USB 3.0 ports a USB 3.1 type C port the system also comes pre-installed with Windows 10 so you can be up and going immediately check one out today all right so that's the Corsair 1 pro now let's check out those benchmarks now as far as the overclocking win on the Vegas 64 its overall average was 1716 megahertz but the memory clocks from the overclocking were pretty nice from 945 megahertz to 1080 megahertz and the temperatures never reached over 70 Celsius even under full load now the overclocking results of the GTX ten-eighty were pretty nice that as far as the GPU boost goes we got nineteen hundred and thirty-five megahertz and the memory wasn't bad either when we added three hundred and seventy-five megahertz we were able to achieve a final stable memory clock of five thousand three hundred and seventy-five megahertz and even though the GTX 1080 did run a little hotter than the Vegas 64 and obviously this should actually be expected since it's an air-cooled card it still remained relatively cool in the mid 70 seats throughout all of our testing okay now don't throw rocks at me because I'm just bringing you guys the information one thing I want to say I know a lot of people leave comments that always like hey need to disable this and disable that when you do the AMD card I'm gonna be honest to you maybe that like might be like in some people's book like an even a way to do stuff but I don't really feel so I'd have to really go back and retest everything and turn all those same features off on the Nvidia card so for turning off all those extra things you guys are saying hey man don't test an AMD card with this thing I guess in the future all experiment with that but honestly I want my game to look the best so I'm using the best you know I want to have the best anti-aliasing all that stuff when I'm watching games and to me disabling that stuff it's kind of you know making the card not all it can be now obviously we're doing 4k testing a lot of that anything-anything stuff that really doesn't mean jack cuz you got such a huge resolution but at 1080 and 1440 oh don't tell me that that anti-aliasing stuff doesn't help because the hell sure does it gets rid of all those jaggies and just makes your game look a lot smoother when you're going through it so with all those tests and all those things at the end of the day we all know that right now you know getting a hold of a water-cooled rx Vegas 64 is kind of still kind of like picking through a haystack and trying to find that needle prices are slowly starting to get there so wrapt about we know that that card is a lot more expensive now one thing it's kind of nifty though is that even with all that power that we had to give that AMD card to reach those results it still ran really cool and that's kind of a really nice thing you know and it actually isn't that loud either so in those respects it's really nice but at the end of the day overall the $549 you know that the gtx 1085 is edition it actually does win in the overclocking department between these two cards right now now in the future obviously new drivers thing change we'll go back to it and those things you know might change but as you guys can see right now obviously the memory cue can clock the out of with you apply that power on the AMD card but you're still getting almost those same kind of numbers on the Nvidia card with that f2 and you know crease all that voltage up so for some people out there increasing the voltage and all that you might want to think about that because it does lower the lifespan of your card so you know if you really are a person and overclocking is all that you're interested in how well you guys can see the car really doesn't you know it doesn't overclock you know it's super wily it does okay but it's not great hopefully in the future the AMD rx 64 and the 56 will both do better but for right now you guys can see from the test the efi man it's it's it's just winning and that's just the way it is those are the numbers like always I want to see you guys's comments down below I love you guys and thanks for watching the channel me but the dog and G we'll see you guys back here in the channel for more tech tomorrow please
