The AMD RX Vega 64 Limited Edition and the AMD RX Vega 64 Liquid Edition, are seen in all their splendor before the cameras, hours before the official presentation of these graphics cards.
The AMD Capsaicin event, which will be held during SIGGRAPH 2017, as we know, will not have streaming and we will have to wait for the data to jump in the US media, who know about hardware for a while and who are usually invited to all events relevant AMD. The truth is that there is little left to know about the AMD RX Vega, specifically the images of the AMD RX Vega 64 Limited Edition and the AMD RX Vega 64 Liquid Cooling have already been leaked.
Both graphics cards will carry the same GPU, the Vega 10, with the 4096 Stream Processors and they differ in the heatsink and in the working frequencies, being the graphics card with liquid cooling, with a higher working frequency and obviously, more consumption. On the frequencies, consumption or performance, there is no data, everything is speculation about the leaks, but in HardOCP in the last hours, they have commented on the possibility that an AMD RX Vega with a stock heatsink similar to the RX 480, would perform as an NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti, which would be good news for AMD.
We must highlight from all this, that the Vega 64 Liquid Cooling has an All-in-One liquid cooling system, developed in theory by Cooler Master. The radiator has dimensions of 120mm, as does the fan, which appears to be of high efficiency and performance. It is pointed out by wccftech, that two models would be launched now in July, something unlikely, the truth and two other models in December, although all the data at this time cannot be confirmed in any way and that they should be officially released during the AMD event to be held in the early hours of Sunday through Monday.
