SAPPHIRE Radeon RX Vega 64 NITRO pictured and tested
..three 8-pin power connectors. [That] does not automatically make it better...
Essentially a leaked information article. Preliminary tests are not at final clocks. Looks like the final version will beat all but 1080Ti. Looks expensive and large in the case.
I'm an AMD fan who likes Sapphire because AMD has a "deal" with Sapphire -- thus, Sapphire AMD products may have slightly better designs and seem competitively priced (e.g. one can buy a Sapphire Reference Vega at suggested list price -- even with most charging the Cryptocurrency markup).
However, when there is finally a choice of Vegas (beyond Reference Models), I'll buy what's priced right (and shows well in tests) regardless of brand name.
