Asus rx vega 64 strix gaming review in Spanish (full analysis)

We already have the first personalized RX VEGA in Spain! We present to you the powerful Asus RX VEGA 64 Strix Gaming with its triple fan, AURA RGB design, its beautiful backplate and one of the best PCBs on the market.

The Asus RX VEGA 64 Strix Gaming comes equipped with a pair of HBM2 memory stacks with a 2048-bit interface and a frequency of 484 GB / s. The improvements in memory performance itself over HBM and GDDR5X are quite extensive.

The graphics card has a length of 29.8 cm and a weight of over a kilogram. A perfect size to install in any mid / high range cabinet on the market.

To cool this beast of nature we find the well-known DirectCu II heatsink formed by an aluminum radiator that is crossed by several copper heatpipes with technology of direct contact with the GPU to maximize the transfer of heat generated during the operation of the card.

The set is completed with three Asus Wing-Blade fans with PWM control and 0dB operating mode that keeps them turned off in idle and low load situations. This means that it is for those seeking maximum silence. Nor can we forget that the fans include the IP5X certification that makes them resistant to dust and thus offer greater durability.

For the most curious we leave you some views of the back backplate.

Along with the power we have several AsusFanConnect II connectors that allow connecting various fans to the graphics card and control it from the native Asus application that we will see in the overclocking section.

As we already saw in the reference model, it incorporates a selector to flash one of the two BIOS that comes standard. Pretty useful for modifying your BIOS or trying to “dop” the AMD RX VEGA 64 as users of foreign forums have successfully tried.

As can be seen in the images, the graphics card occupies only 2.5 slots when installed on our computer. So we should not have any problem in ATX chassis, but in the case that it is mATX or ITX we should measure well?

Finally, comment that it only has digital signals DisplayPort, DVI and HDMI 2.0B. To be more exact we have:

• 2 Displayport connections. 2 HDMI connections. 1 DVI connection.

PCB and internal components

To remove the heatsink from the PCB is as simple as removing the four screws from the rear area. Once removed, we realize that it includes a large block of aluminum fins that aim to maximize the heat exchange surface and thus dissipate as much heat as possible.

It also has a total of 6 nickel-plated copper heatpipes and a PCB that's the best we've seen so far. Additionally, it has a metal structure that cools both the memories and a circuitry.

Speaking of VRM we find a 12 phase power design with the best quality Super Alloy Power II components for maximum durability and reliability. We love this design!

The user must know that having a quality PCB and components allows us to have a longer graphics card, which allows us to perform a more stable overclock (not to be confused with a greater overclock) and avoid the annoying Coil Whine. What in this case has had zero?

Test bench and performance tests

TESTING BENCH
Processor:	Intel Core i9-7900X
Base plate:	Asus TUF X299 Mark 1
Memory:	32GB DDR4 Corsair Dominator SE
Heatsink	Corsair H100i V2
HDD	Samsung 850 EVO SSD.
Graphic card	Asus RX VEGA 64 Strix Gaming
Power supply	Corsair AX860i

For benchmarks we will use the following titles:

• 3DMark Fire Strike normal.3DMark Fire Strike 4K version.Time Spy.Heaven Superposition.VRMark.

All tests have been passed with the filters to the maximum unless we indicate otherwise. In order to have adequate performance, we have carried out three types of tests: the first is the most common at Full HD 1920 x 1080, the second resolution is making the leap to 2K or 1440P (2560 x 1440P) gamers and the most enthusiastic with 4K (3840 x 2160). The operating system we have used has been Windows 10 Pro 64 bit and the latest drivers available from the AMD website.

What are we looking for in the tests?

First, the best possible image quality. The most important value for us is the average FPS (Frames per second), the higher the number of FPS the more fluid the game will go. To differentiate the quality a bit, we leave you a table to assess the quality in FPS, but we will also have the minimum Fps in the tests that were thus possible:

FRAMES BY SECONDS
Frames for Seconds. (FPS)	Gameplay
Less than 30 FPS	Limited
30 ~ 40 FPS	Playable
40 ~ 60 FPS	Good
Greater than 60 FPS	Fairly Good or Excellent

Synthetic benchmarks

This time, we've narrowed it down to three tests as we consider them to be more than enough as synthetic performance tests.

Game Testing

We have decided to make the leap to checking various games manually. The reason? Very simple, we want to give a much more realistic vision and cover tests with current games. Since we make an effort, it is consistent with the level of the website and that of our readers.
