@irene
Because driver support is better for GPUs that have been around for few months. -
@irene yeah just checked it out on YT. How is the performance in comparison to Windows.

RageBone5906yCurrently, a used stock vega 56 is falling towards 200€ here in Germany.
But with Navi expected to be competitive, you can expect either navi to be a good / better choice, or navi lowering Vega prices even more.
Be aware that the stock blower-cooler is a jet turbine and will be rather loud.
A funny technical detail about the 56 versus the 64 is that GCN isn't scaling well to the 64CU's on Gaming-Workloads.
Clock for clock, 56 and 64 perform basically the same.
Except on raw compute, 8CUs make a difference.
So if you do compute stuff, get a 64
and have look at ROCM, you'll need that for that.
A used stock 64 is currently about 250€

Hey Guys,
I am planning on getting an Vega 56 for Linux. Does anyone know how it performs. I heard a lot of good stuff about Vega 64 on Linux. But the power consumption is quite high and I am not sure if the drivers work well.
So I was wondering if it's actually worth it or not.
