First Post - hopefully I will cover everything required to receive some informed feedback.
I'm looking to replace my Vega 64 Sapphire 8GB with a Quieter, less power hungry more stable card, whilst preserving 1080p ultra settings at 144hz; I realise 'ultra' is relative, but lets say for arguments sake the likes of Raibow Six Seige and Battlefield V, PuBG, or anything more demanding.
I've had the Vega 64 since release and even with undervolting and and all other manner of trial and error drivers/wattman tweaks etc, it still runs loud and hot as seems to be the way with these cards. I could deal with that if it didn't produce an electrical buzzing when under any sort of load (it just intensifies with higher load).
My system:
AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX Black, PC4-19200 (2400)
ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING (AM4)
Sapphire 8176MB ATI Radeon RX Vega 64
Samsung 512GB 970 PRO V-NAND M.2
Samsung 860 Pro 512GB SSD
850W Corsair CX850M, Hybrid Modular, 80PLUS Bronze
I have not seen any bottlenecking, and for the next few years I don't forsee having to make any major upgrades, i'm just genuinely not happy with the Vega and believe there may be a better solution for my gaming needs out there!
Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated, with the emphasis on the 1080p 144hz monitor and Ultra settings.
