The back-plate cover electronics for protection and aids in cooling the GPU by spreading heat across its surface. The back of the Vega FE includes a back-plate that covers the bulk of the card. Let us turn the card over and take a look at the back of the Vega FE. Additional markings differentiate the Vega FE from other cards, such as the yellow cube LED at the end of the card which lights up when in use. The Vega FE has a length of 10.5 inches which aligns with standard dual-slot GPUs we have reviewed. Like the AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200 we reviewed earlier, the Vega FE appears like a typical reference dual-slot GPU with a standard blower type air-cooler. AMD Eyefinity Technology (Professionals)Ī close look at the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition.External Power Connectors: 2x PCIe 8-Pin.TFLOPs Peak Double Precision (FP64) Performance: 819 GFLOPs.Peak Single Precision (FP32) Performance: 13.1.External Genlock/Frame Lock Sync Support.We also wanted to get this review out before the NVIDIA RTX and Tesla cards are added to our dataset and those reviews are published. We actually think that as NVIDIA has shunned the blower-style reference cooler in its latest RTX series, the Radeon Vega FE provides a unique value. Our AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition review is very late in the GPU cycle. Driver switching offers up a great development platform where code can be developed in Professional mode and then switched to Game mode to test performance. The Vega FE geared towards VR gear such as the HTC Vive using AMD’s ProRender plug-in to Unreal Engine 4. The ability to switch between different driver models from Professional to Gaming gives the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition dual-use scenarios. Namely, if you need a lot of GPU memory and the ability to switch between a professional and a gaming driver, the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition offers a unique value proposition. There are a few key features that AMD still has a lead in. For some context here, the more expensive NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti uses only 11GB of memory. The Vega FE memory based on HBM2 with a capacity of 16GB which delivers bandwidth of 484 GB/s. Targeted at workstations the Vega FE can run several different driver setups that include gaming drivers. Today in the lab we have an AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition 16GB graphics card.
