Vega 56 worth it at around £200?

[Arslan Shakeel]

What games do you play? i have an undervolt and can still hit 80c

My reference model doesn't hit 80 even with stock settings...

 

[Chrisc]

What case and airflow?

Corsair Carbide 240, i do need to adjust my fans but i cant imagine thats going to drop by more than a couple of Celsius

That'll be because it's throttles to eternity lol.

At complete stock the card is limited to 200W as well iirc

Hence, I am sidegrading to better cooling.

It's a tiny case, try a 750d

It's the way you posted about it only hitting 80c at stock. Irrelevant when your cards performing way worse than it should be because of how you've set it.

I realise!

yeah indeed, i have a 240 rad on the front as well. I need to buy a couple of more fans, and look to see if i could drop the voltage any more.

I have the same case. Was playing PUBG last night and hovered around 50-55 Celsius
Mine is the Nitro Vega 64, but I cannot see why you are hitting 80, my 290x Tri-X topped out at around 75 and that had 100% GPU usage and fan speed of 50%

Id pay a slightly higher price by buying from OCers purely for their customer service. . 2nd to none from experience.

Same here,but still the Vega56 is looking a bargain relative to newer graphics cards.

 

[Martini1991]

Lol where the deals at.

 

[FoxEye]

Lol where the deals at.

I know right. I just want one. I'm not greedy. Just the one card that feels almost reasonably priced, in an ocean of cards that are about 3-4x as expensive as they should be.

My F5 key is glowing red hot by this point.

Not like OCUK to try and hype sales up...

 

[brightside229]

Are you guys expecting anything more than £10-20 off? This is OCUK we are talking about after all

I'm actually not expecting much at all. Even though I'm ready to buy I will only do so if the deal is a good one. Otherwise I will just keep looking (including elsewhere).

I'm expecting a super calla navi listic titanxp alladocious deal.

 

[LeMson]

Deal is to clear the EOL stock isn't it? I'm ready to buy, have been since 8am, if it's not a decent drop then no tears just sad face

I dont think it will take much to clear it personally, and OCUK will know this, especially how navi is positioned to be around vega 56/60 performance for like £100+ more. so i very much doubt you will be getting it much less than the current price. I may be completely wrong

 

[LeMson]

Maybe, but then who is queueing to buy navi at around same perf for £100+ more lulz

edit: thats oc'ed 56 vs potentially more locked down navi
