We've had ample opportunity to play with Vega-powered hardware before now, but we've never been able to see the card that was pushing those pixels. The fact that AMD is cooling a presumably large, HBM-equipped graphics chip with nothing more than a beefy blower cooler may bode well for Vega's performance per watt. We'll just have to wait and see.
Board layout (even outside the diagnostic section) could change as well, so I wouldn't consider any power connectors to be set in stone. PCB shown does have room for 8+8 PCI-E power though.
People need to stop reiterating nonsense they don't fully understand. The power specifications are designed to run out of spec, it wasn't nor isn't an issue
oops..I knew Linus gave a hands-on demo of games running, i didn't realize he saw like 90% of the same thing in the flesh.

Indeed, and then you rely on the thickness of the copper traces in the motherboard. Still, this doesn't automatically that you will encounter issues if you run it out of spec.

I fully understand.
Since the core is supplied by the 6 pin and the memory by PCI-e it would not make any sense using a ground to sense if the 6 pin is plugged in...
Did anyone notice in the Austin Evans video where the 1800x on LN2 was leaked, he also showed a (presumably) vega GPU? He mentioned it in the unedited version of his video.

No-one has mentioned it, but it looks like there are solder points for a 8 x 2 power connector option???
Could that be from early testing, or more powerhouse testing to come? maybe different Sku's using virtually the same PCB layout with differernet core specs and power specs?
Ie a version up from this, with a higher clock, more RAM, etc using a 8 + 8 pin Power configuration.
^ This. I'm hoping for an 8+8 model that has some good OC headroom
