We talk about the RX Vega 64 & 56 clock bug rant, which has propagated through the internet lately to the point that people think the card hits 1980MHz.

Some people seem to not understand that this video is about awareness of a bug. We're not blaming it on AMD or bludgeoning AMD with it. We're talking about reviews/consumers reporting 2GHz clocks based on a bug. That's all. Anything beyond that is taking way too many liberties with the content and reading too far into it.

Why stop at 1980 MHz? Lets troll-clock this beast to 2.5 GHz, or better yet 3 GHz, no, make that 4 GHz!

If this gets 1% quicker every couple hundred MHz, you're eventually going to beat the 1080 Ti! Like totally legitimately!!!! :D

There's a strange 'glitch' with the power cable from the fan on top of the Noctua one at 10:07

10:07 That cable above the fan freaks out! (bottom right corner)

Well I'm super glad I got an Rx480 Nitro +OC 8gb card for $240 when I did. Glad I didn't wait for Vega or any other cards. And glad I got it before the mining craze.

Laying down some common sense and facts once again. Good job guys.

[chefriz]

bro you got one of the best tech channels. The amount of content you push out daily is great. Good job guys

[eth_saver]

I have refreshed your channel for this vid quite frequently haha

[douglasfulmer]

The more I watch this channel, which I recently found a month ago, the more I am convinced it is by far the best tech channel for actual reviews and technical information.

Thanks for the content!

[mrcrunch]

Videos like these are a big reason why you guys are the best.

[katerwhall]

In this video: Steve loses his shit. "IT'S BUGGED! IT'S ALL WRONG! YOU'RE FAKE NEWS!"

[paulfinch]

AMD are a great company but they have had vega silicon for quite a while now and they really need to sort these drivers out. Seeing it performing the same as a fury x in some cases tells me the drivers for vega still need a lot of work. For a card that is a year late still not performing how it should is a little bit ridiculous. This is coming from a happy fury owner. I can understand your frustration.

Hey steve, areyou going to benchmark the meshify c from fractal design? Id love to see thermal and accoustic data... do you think this case can be used for a silent high airflow tempered glass system?

You guys should add a "mid roll ad" near the end of each video (last minute) just so the viewers watching the entire video can support you financially. I can't donate money directly due to my financial limitations but please feel free to add non-intrusive midrolls like that (maybe before your outro/social media).

Anyways, thanks for the unbiased news!

"Those are WRONG and this is WHY"

I love you guys for showing us all this great stuff.

I'm hitting 5.6 terahertz. I can now see sounds with this thing.

[Girzr]

Thank you for all that you do!

I don't understand the vega hype, dumb of AMD to increase prices after massive sells. Just let the price point ride, they will come.
