For the Gamers
As a true high-end graphics card for gamers the AMD Radeon RX Vega comes kitted out with a multitude of features and is designed for gaming in 4K resolution as well as immersion in Virtual Reality (VR). With 8 GB of 2nd gen High Bandwith Memory (HBM2) as well as the redesigned Vega GPU architecture, the Radeon RX Vega represents the current gaming flagship of the Texan chip manufacturer. The Radeon RX Vega graphics cards are designed for PC gamers and are perfect to combine with a FreeSync monitor, as this allows for smoother tear-free image reproduction!
The Features of the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 Graphics Cards Include:
- Brand new Vega architecture
- massive 8 GB HBM2-RAM
- 64 Next-Gen Compute Units (NCUs; 4.096 Shaders)
- Base Clock up to 1.406 MHz
- Boost Clock up to 1.677 MHz
- High Bandwidth Cache Controller (HBCC)
- Rapid Packed Math (RPM) of the NCUs
- New Programmable Geometry Pipeline
- Enhanced Pixel Engine
The AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 gaming graphics card is available in three versions. Apart from a standard version with a plastic cooler shroud, AMD also offers a „Limited Edition“ which comes with a shroud made of anodised aluminium. An additional version also comes with an aluminium shroud, however this version comes with integrated All-in-One water cooling, which enables higher clock frequencies.

The Vega GPU Architecture of the New AMD Radeon RX Vega Graphics Cards
Here is a short summary of the unique features offered by the Vega GPU architecture that provides AMD’s new high-end gaming graphics cards with their huge processing power:
High Bandwidth Cache Controller (HBCC)
- The High Bandwidth Cache Controller (HBCC) enables a marked improvement in the effective utilisation of the HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) modules when compared to Fiji-generation GPUs which were the first to benefit from this unique type of memory. The HBC Controller also allows for highly efficient memory control as well as increasing the minimum Frames per Second (FPS) in many games by up to 100% and the maximum FPS by more than 50%. In practical terms this amounts to a doubling of the 8 GB HBM2-VRAM of the Radeon RX Vega to 16 GB!
Next-Gen Compute Unit (NCU) & Rapid Packed Math (RPM)
Rapid Packed Math (RPM) is a feature of the Next-Gen Compute Unit (NCU) and utilises the highly flexible core structure of the new compute units. For example, RPM accelerates FP16 calculations to allow mathematically-oriented processes to be calculated more quickly. With RPM activated this doubles the number of calculations capable of being carried out per second without requiring additional resources. Rapid Packed Math is of particular benefit to physics-based calculations, as seen in large explosions featuring in games.
New Programmable Geometry Pipeline
The new programmable geometry pipeline of the Vega architecture is capable of processing, thanks to its efficient load balancing, many millions of polygons simultaneously. The AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition Air offers a maximum geometry calculation capacity of 11 polygons (with the help of 4 Geometry Units) per clock, doubling that of the Radeon R9 Fury X with its 4 polygons per clock. Modelling applications in particular benefit from this, and furthermore this enables large 3D models to be renders in near real-time.
Enhanced Pixel Engine
The Enhanced Pixel Engine also unleashes an optimised Shade Unit design, one which provides notable performance increases at high resolutions (WQHD, UHD) and in displaying virtual reality. In specific terms the Enhanced Pixel Engine provides a new rasterizer technology which optimises cache localisation while creating more efficient rendering processes.
