It was seemingly bad and disappointing on launch, but with AIB Vega56 cards overclocked and undervolting matching 1080 overclocked performance in 2017+ games on the newer drivers... uhh well that's a different story now. It's what I said earlier >Hating Vega is a meme fueled by retards. >People are mad it wasn't 1080Ti performance for half the price and that it didn't use less power than a 1050Ti. It wasn't totally overblown on launch, but the price/performance of Vega56 is actually the absolute best in the US. It's ~80% higher performance than a $315 1060 6gb for ~60% more money. Unless you can get a RX570 4GB for like $200, that is, then that changes.
It's not bad. Like apparently the XFX model is pretty bad. Seems equal with the Strix, and cheaper. You may need to apply better thermal paste like CP7, NT-H1, or Thermal Grissly because PC has been having meh paste problems but otherwise they're decent quality on their higher end models. Even the Red Dragon Vega56 seems to be pretty good, and has a nano pcb which is great for water blocking it.
Best are the Sapphire Nitro+, especially the limited edition. But people want more for the Vega56 Nitro+ Limited than Vega64 costs...
DDR4. DDR5 won't be in wide adoption until 2021-2022.
>Can I make an image of a 80gbhdd and place it in a 120gb hd? If the image has an OS on it that you want to boot from, IIRC you can run into issues where Windows won't recognize you having admin rights to it. I'm not good at that so many someone else can answer better, but I do know there is software to get access to it.

DDR4 with DDR5 being almost fully developed so we should see it within the next few years, and potentially something with HBM (near-memory) from AMD GDDR5/GDDR5X and HBM2 are commonly used for video cards I would suggest a 580 so you can use FreeSync Also, why a 2700X when you have an extreme GPU/monitor bottleneck?
Angel Rogers
You take from it that you avoid that garbage. Not a single reviewer will recommend Vega and none has including adoredtv who is basically the AMD spokesman of YouTube. I'm telling you now I'm as let down as that guy. I had a 390 8gb before this and once I saw that video I just got a 1070 For $320. I'd recommend just waiting literally 30 days because the new Nvidia gpu will be dropping in July and will basically provide 1080 ti performance for around current 1070 prices.

Just because I'd like to stream

Jow Forumsuys what is the best hdd brand?
Ethan Gomez
Western Digital is a solid choice
Cooper Bennett
That's fair, but you could also use a 2700 I generally advise against buying products based off of brand, especially when HDDs have a wide range of failure Hitachi and Toshiba are likely the safest choices, just don't blame me if you pick a bad model
Yeah, this is why I hate these threads sometimes, mainly because everyone has conflicting views on a video card and all these Nvidia and AMD fanboys just outright hating the other company. I'm just going to get a red devil rx56 so I don't waste my time here and because it supports free-sync. End of story

HGST
Get a better SSD and monitor Drop to 2600X unless you know you need the extra cores Get cheaper memory
DDR4 Migrate, don't make an image
Nathaniel Myers
Does the 2700x work with 32gb (2x16) of RAM at the same speed than 16gb (2x8)?
If Ryzen still has problems with that I would pick the 8700k.
