Ek shows off the excellent overclocking power of the radeon rx vega

We continue talking about AMD Radeon RX Vega graphics cards and this time with the prestigious manufacturer of water blocks EK, which has demonstrated the good overclocking potential of these new graphics cards.

AMD Radeon RX Vega hides more potential than meets the eye

Since the arrival of AMD Radeon RX Vega much has been said about their high power consumption, this is largely related to the high voltage that AMD has applied to their cards. AMD is behind Nvidia in performance and has been forced to take out its Radeon RX Vega at very high clock speeds from the factory, this has been linked to an HBM2 memory whose manufacture is not as tuned as it should, and has given as a result the Sunnyvale company has had to apply a very high voltage so that all cards can be stable at the clock frequencies at which they come.

EK has shown that its liquid cooling blocks can greatly improve the performance of the Radeon RX Vega. To obtain the maximum benefit with your blocks, it is recommended to lower the operating voltage of the graphics card as much as possible while maintaining stable operation, then increase the power limit by + 50%.

Using liquid cooling EK has managed to lower the voltage of the Radeon RX Vega 64 from 1.2V to 1.05V, this has resulted in that they have been able to improve the performance of the card by 17% while the power consumption alone It has increased 5.6% compared to its factory settings, all without overclocking the HBM2 memory, making it very clear that it is possible to improve Vega's performance and energy efficiency.

This opens the door for custom assembler cards like ASUS, MSI, XFX, Gigabyte and Sapphire to come with sharper voltages thanks to improved cooling systems. In any case, it has been shown that Vega has more potential than it seems but you have to know how to get your hands on the card to fine-tune it.
