Undervolting
We discovered in our first reviews of the Vega architecture that the card responds well to a little undervolting and so, exploring that idea further, we have three sets of results today. Stock and overclocked as you have come to expect, but we're also running a stock card undervolted in the hopes that this will give greater thermal overheads, thus allowing the card to boost higher and bring better performance.
Overclocking
Now we've undervolted it we had to see how fast we could push the card and as you can see it ends up much higher than the default clock speed. Clearly a little time overclocking the RX Vega in the right manner brings much greater rewards than simply pushing everything northwards and hoping for the best.

Even if you knew that or weren't referring to it, I still love saying it. It reminds me not to trust even guys as down to earth as Raja who make bold claims about their gear.Quote
