Radeon Vega 8 vs Radeon RX Vega 64
Summary
Reasons to consider Radeon Vega 8 |
230 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the Radeon RX Vega 64 . |
Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute |
Supports FreeSync |
Supports ReLive (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
Supports TrueAudio |
Based on an outdated architecture (AMD GCN), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
Reasons to consider Radeon RX Vega 64 |
Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
