Reviews last updated: June 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about ASUS ROG Strix RX Vega 64 Gaming OC

  • Significantly quieter operation under load compared to the loud AMD reference blower design
  • Premium build quality with a sturdy 2.5-slot design and metal backplate
  • Maintains higher average boost clocks for longer periods due to superior thermal management
  • Excellent performance for 1080p and 1440p gaming, often matching the GTX 1080
  • Highly customisable RGB lighting with ASUS Aura Sync support
  • Useful extra features like dual HDMI 2.0 ports (ideal for VR) and FanConnect II headers for GPU-controlled case fans

What we don't like about ASUS ROG Strix RX Vega 64 Gaming OC

  • High power consumption, often requiring a 600W+ PSU and two separate 8-pin power cables for stability
  • Runs hot in closed cases; some units reported high VRM temperatures due to a lack of thermal pads between the PCB and backplate
  • Large physical footprint (2.5-slot thickness and significant length) may not fit in smaller cases
  • Expensive compared to other Vega 64 models and often less value-efficient than competing NVIDIA cards like the GTX 1080 or RTX 2070
  • Limited overclocking headroom despite the massive cooler, yielding only minor performance gains

Verdict

The ASUS ROG Strix RX Vega 64 Gaming OC is a high-performance graphics card built on the 14nm Vega 10 architecture, featuring 4,096 stream processors and 8GB of HBM2 memory on a massive 2048-bit bus. This factory-overclocked edition features a boost clock of up to 1590 MHz and a memory bandwidth of 483.8 GB/s, housed in a substantial 2.5-slot design with three patented Wing-Blade fans and MaxContact technology for improved thermal transfer. Key pros include excellent 1080p and 1440p gaming performance that rivals the GTX 1080, premium build quality with Aura Sync RGB lighting, and a quiet cooling system that remains silent under light loads. However, the card has high power consumption with a 295W TDP requiring two 8-pin connectors, and early revisions faced reports of thermal throttling due to inadequate cooling for the VRM components.
