With the release of the new version of GPU-Z utility, a lot of topics appeared on the pages of the Reddit resource discussing the features of displaying the characteristics of individual Radeon RX Vega 56 instances. The fact is that version 2.3.0 of this utility is able to display the functional blocks of the graphics processor available for activation. The speed with the "native" BIOS from Radeon RX Vega 56 is not affected in any way, but with the BIOS firmware from Radeon RX Vega 64,
some users note the performance increase of the video card.
In the initial state, the Radeon RX Vega 64 has 4,096 stream processors and 256 texture sampling units, and the Radeon RX Vega 56 has 3584 stream processors and 224 texture sampling units. The authors of the transformation experiments began to name the intermediate variants "Radeon RX Vega 57", "Radeon RX Vega 58", "Radeon RX Vega 59" and so on.
Theoretical consensus so far sounds like this: some Vega 10 graphics processors used by Radeon RX Vega 56 video cards have only partially blocked some functional blocks (defective), and "healthy" but "extra" blocks are deactivated programmatically. The GPU-Z 2.3.0 utility "sees" the blocks available for activation, and the BIOS firmware from the Radeon RX Vega 64 helps to "revive" them. After the last operation, the nominal frequencies also increase, so the nature
of the increase in performance after such transformations needs to be clearly understood. Related Products :
