What's happening at BTR *10* .. & report issues here

Has Gigabyte even released an aftermarket Vega 64 card?
*edit* I found one here: https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/G...-OC-8GD#kf I think the aftermarket card would be better for you.

There are also some real driver performance improvements for some VR games since I tested it last time. The Gigabyte 64 is significantly slower than the Liquid 64. I don't mind. AMD fans won't like it.

Well I hope the RMA is quick for you. I have never dealt with Gigabyte for an RMA. You will probably have to pay for shipping. Hopefully you can time it so that you won't have any downtime for BTR.

Maybe then you will get a free upgrade out of it.(01-01-2018, 12:49 AM)SickBeast Wrote: Well I hope the RMA is quick for you. I have never dealt with Gigabyte for an RMA.

Almost done. 2 more VR benchmarks to run and 2 to recheck with 64.

You sound like you're actually on schedule.

AMD VR drivers have improved. It's a lot of work making the charts. It will take all New Year's Day. Nope. I am a day late and a dollar short.  As usual

Another beautiful day here. I didn't see a single celebration ... but I slept well and I am writing my 15-game VR evaluation now.
I have it outlined but it's a lot of work creating the frametime charts and graphs ... I expect to post it sometime today as the first review of 2018. Happy New Years! I am hoping for a very good 2018. :clapping: (bring on Volta! ... and Oculus Rift II) :nerd: |
