PowerColor 'launches' officially the PowerColor RX Vega 64 Red Devil and PowerColor RX Vega 56 Red Devil, but without a date of arrival on the market, availability and price.
After several delays, problems in the delivery of GPU by AMD and various problems along the way, it seems that the customized versions of the AMD RX Vega by the different assemblers that work with AMD, are close to reaching the market. PowerColor has just announced the 'launch' of the PowerColor RX Vega 64 Red Devil and PowerColor RX Vega 56 Red Devil. Both have a traced design, since they have the same heatsink, a mass of aluminum fins crossed by several heatpipes and three fans to dissipate heat.
The heatsink, the company's Red Devil, is characterized in this case by occupying three PCI slots, which shows a completely gigantic heatsink size. This heatsink features aluminum fins to improve heat dissipation and features two 8mm heatpipes and four 6mm heatpipes, both made of copper, to efficiently bring heat to the aluminum fins. PowerColor has installed three 90mm fans, to aid heat dissipation. Logically, these graphics have an aluminum backplate to prevent the PCB from bending and damaging the graphics card.
Regarding the specs, nothing new under the sun. Both models carry 8GB of HBM2 memory. The RX Vega 64 has 4.096 Stream Processors working at 1.607MHz and the memories at 945MHz, while the RX Vega 56 has 3.584 Stream Processors working at 1.526MHz, while the memories work at 800MHz.
We must emphasize that 'launch', in this case it does not indicate availability in stores, since they do not have an arrival date in stores and much less official price, simply, PowerColor, has wanted to show that it has graphics cards ready or at least , a handful of them to arrive soon at the market. If the prices are what we have seen in Overclockers UK or similar, it does not matter, because it looks like they will not sell many, since NVIDIA solutions are at a better price and offer great performance.
