GPU VEGA NANO
- Thread starter VisualStim
- Start date
I think the equation changes if you refuse to buy Nvidia products. In that case, the Vega Nano is the best ITX option. The next best is the Sapphire RX 570 ITX.
If you look at the following article (translated from German) you can see how well this GPU can undervolt:

Obviously there is an element of Silicon Lottery here as evidenced by the results on this video, but you can see that when undervolted, the card consistently outperforms the Vega 64 on stock settings and routinely trades punches with the GTX 1080. All of this with a reduction in power consumption in the neighbourhood of 75W.
I'm planning to put my Nano in the S4M with the largest stable undervolt I can.

If you can get that kind of performance with a 75w undervolt and pick it up for the $450 Newegg had it listed at it would be a great deal. I am curious to see how it performs in the S4M.
I ordered one and had it sent straight to @Josh | NFC. Hopefully we'll have an answer to that question soon.
Provided it works as well as I am hoping in the S4M, my Orangulan Deux build will consist of this GPU, my KMPKT Dynamo Combo, the prototype HDPlex 400W AC-DC, X470 Fatal1ty with 2700X and the KMPKT Curve heatsink prototype : )
Also I am playing with the idea of a 3D printed shroud and two of these as a mod kit:

That's what I'm planning. The OC3D video also suggest that the thermal throttling on the Nano might be set to around 75C. Better cooling and/or a reflash would likely go a long way to improving performance. If you can get the Hardwareluxx performance on the Vega Nano that would be pretty exciting IMO.
Blacknoise and Noctua, FIGHT! Those fans seem very very competent.
That would be a good idea, though. I assume that it will be available for the default heatsink, correct? Or will you make your own?
I'd make my own shroud and power adapted to be paired with two 80 x 15 Noiseblocker fans and used with the stock heatsink.
Everything you just said sounds very exciting.
I've never undervolted or OCd a GPU, but I'd really like to do it on my nano. I'm not necessarily after higher performance, but I would like to see temps lowered.
Please let us know about temps & such, especially the VRM temps on the motherboard & the M.2 temps on the backside of the motherboard...
I really want to put together a Ryzen / Vega Hackintosh build; just swinging back & forth between a small air-cooled (CCD MI-6) build & a larger water-cooled (CI MachOne) build...

Got mine today from Newegg (via the eGPU enclosure combo).
I’m getting power cuts (PC turns off) when running 3D Mark Sky Diver benchmark. This is both with standard and power saver profiles in Wattman.
My setup is a S4M (Ryzen 5 2600) with HDPLEX 400W + Dell 330w brick. Suspect that undervolting will be necessary.
Going to hook it up to a wattage meter and do some more digging this weekend.
