RX Vega 64 Worth for $600?

volkgren · Jul 29, 2018

Looking for the general consensus, if one already has FreeSync monitors and a budget for any GPU, is it even worth spending $600 on RX Vega 64 right now?

Running 1080p 144Hz and 4K 60Hz FreeSync monitors.

I would list my system components, but I have so many different components and GPUs already that I just want a general consensus on the topic of RX Vega and FreeSync for a long-term (2+ years) gaming solution.

I could possibly buy a 1440p 144Hz FreeSync monitor, but I just don't want to spend money on a G-Sync monitor. I can splurge on Nvidia GPUs because they have value to me mining crypto, but just don't want to buy a G-Sync monitor.

I personally wouldn't. If you have something that's already adequate right now I'd sit tight. It sounds like the next gen GPUs are just around the corner. I'd wait for the that, or at a minimum a price drop on the current gen GPUs before buying.

Yeah, but I'm not seeing anything about AMD's next-gen. I suspect it'll be 2019 before we see anything from them in the GPU sector.

Sounds like Navi will be landing sometime around Q1-Q2 2019.

My question still stands, personally if you can still live with the performance of your current card, I would try to hang on. If you can't, then I'd recommend either a 580 (limp along until 2019) or a Vega 64 (for a few years).

AMD lost the power/perf fight this round, so it's hard to blindly recommend Vega64. Make sure your power supply is up to the task.

Well I've got 2x RX 580 8GB Nitro+ on a mining rig, I suppose I could use those until something changes in the market.

Thanks for the answers.
