Anyone managed to pull off more than 55 Mh/s with Vega?

This miner considered to be the most profitable for non-ETH only GPUs.. but Fury X giving the same hashrate as brand new Vega? Sounds uncool

Think about it for a moment...the only major differences are an increase in memory from 4 gb to 8 gb and a few architectural tweaks...its more evolution than revolution in design. vega 2 at 7nm is where it will get interesting...
There is a major difference in frequency: > 1400mhz for vega (depending on boost, volt ...), 1050 for fury x.
The difference in frequency should bring some increase in hashrate. This is the case for some algo but not for this miner.

The reason is that there is some assembly code, specific to a given architecture, which is pretty well optimized for fidji and not so well for vega.
