ASUS ROG STRIX Radeon RX Vega 64 gets benched

ASUS provided early samples of its ROG STRIX Radeon RX Vega 64 to a couple of hardware sites. This is the first custom-design Radeon RX Vega 64 in the wild but it appears it has exactly the same frequency as the Limited Edition of Vega 64.

It has two 8-pin PCIe power connectors, a slightly different power delivery and a custom triple-fan cooler. The maximum power limit of the GPU is 260W (versus 240W for the reference design), which results in higher clockspeeds.

Performance seems to be a tad below a fully overclocked reference card. The power consumption is about 9.1 percent higher than the reference card, but noise readings under load are 24.8 percent lower thanks to the better cooler.
