Community Feedback
What Owners Say
People love the raw 1440p gaming punch and how well it ages with driver updates. The constant complaints are the massive power draw and the jet-engine fan noise under load.
Pros
- Great 1440p gaming performance
- Stays cool under heavy load
- Handles VR without stuttering
- HBM2 memory is impressively fast
Cons
- Drinks power like a frat boy
- Runs hot and loud under load
- Aged poorly against modern cards

Verdict
Our verdict on the RX Vega 64
AMD’s Vega 64 was a high-end 2017 card with blazing fast HBM2 memory, held back by high power draw and heat.
Get it if you need a cheap, capable card for older high-res gaming and don't mind high power draw. Skip it if you want modern features, efficiency, or any ray tracing ability.
Buy it if…
- You want a high-res gaming card without paying modern prices.
- You need FreeSync support on a budget for an older system.
- You’re building a retro high-end PC around 2017 components.
