It also consumes a bewildering amount of power and runs a bit warm. While the RX Vega 64 is a really good card, it's a bit hard to get super excited since it's coming out more than 14 months after the GTX 1080 and doesn't completely trounce it. AMD says that it's an ideal card to max out ultra-wide 3440x1440p monitors, and we'd agree and say that's where its sweet spot is. The most graphically demanding games will give it a tough time. It won't be able to max out every single 4K game, though. As a matter of fact, it runs slightly better at 4K given our results. Those people may be disappointed with the RX Vega 64, as Nvidia's leading $700 graphics card still remains in a league of its own, but it does largely live up to AMD's claim that it's competitive with the $550 GeForce GTX 1080. Some people were hoping that AMD's leading Vega GPU would outperform the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. As you’ll see from our benchmarks below, however, teraflop count doesn't tell the whole story. The RX Vega 64 is a 12.7 teraflop card, which trumps Nvidia’s equivalent GPU by 3.8 teraflops. For reference, the GTX 1080's GDDDR5X VRAM is capped at 320GB/s.

This allows the card to deliver up to 483.8GB/s of memory bandwidth. It's clocked at 945MHz, but what makes it really efficient is its really wide 2048-bit memory bus. HBM2 is a new type of "3D" VRAM, which means it's memory that's densely stacked vertically. It uses 8GB of second-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM2) for video RAM. These are some of AMD's highest clock speeds to date, and the company says the card is tuned for high frequencies and should be able to boost higher than those numbers if it gets adequate power and cooling. In terms of core and boost clocks, it's clocked at 1274MHz and 1546MHz, respectively. Like AMD's RX 480 and RX 580 Polaris GPUs before it, Vega graphics cards are based on a 14nm FinFet production process. The RX Vega 64 partially gets its name from the fact that it has 64 compute units. should only be used as a frame of reference against other cards within the same family for an apples-to-apples comparison. That's not to say images have less blue in them, but that a range of light wavelengths sometimes called "blue light" have been reduced, which is purportedly better for your eyes (the science behind this is inconclusive).Note: Specs like stream processors, CUDA cores, and core clocks, etc. MSI says this display also reduces the amount of blue light emitted. The anti-glare coating was welcome, it mutes the pop of colors and contrast a little but I think the tradeoff is worth it to eliminate screen glare. The native resolution is 1,920x1,080, which is fine for most purposes, but many smaller gaming (and non-gaming) laptops blow past that, all the way to 4K, and with much less powerful hardware. The display, arguable the most important part of an all-in-one desktop, has a lot going on. The mouse, packed with multiple side buttons that even gamers may never use, was better. The painfully shallow, clacky keys led to many typos and the space bar and other keys sometimes failed to register clicks while typing. The keyboard, similarly black and red, looks the part of a gamer's keyboard, and was decent for gaming, but drove me crazy when typing. Wireless models would have been nice, especially for over $2,000, but some gamers prefer wired versions to eliminate any possible input lag. You'll need a couple of the USB ports for the included wired keyboard and mouse.
