nothing more than foam, the card, and some pieces of paper. Not sure on the 120hz, but I use an active DP->DVI adapter for my 2nd screen and it didn't complain

Male version of having the painters in?
Just had mine confirmed as being on backlog - and was told expecting more stock 'soon' - question is, is soon 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month
I was told "more stock is due over the next few days based upon the information I was given previously" when I inquired as to the ETA of the next shipment of Vega 56 cards this morning.
I have a funny feeling the DP to DVI passive connectors only support 60hz, and the active variants are v expensive
I will be putting 3x active DP to D-DVI on MM over the next couple of days along with my rx480. I think they were only like £20 each for active ones or there about. I wont be needing them anyway

AMD should love that
Post a shot of your cards with that caption to their facebook or something lolI used to work for a courier, its possible they had to send the parcel far more then 22 miles to a regional sorting office. Depends how they are setup
If you want 120Hz you will need an active (signal converting, not pass through) DP to DL DVI adaptor, they're not cheap (£80+). This was the same with the Fury too IIRC.

Would make sense on high resolution where actual fps difference is quite small yet freesync would make gaming experience far more fluid. Or perhaps compute perrformance...is compute performance better on vega 56 than 1080Ti?

Actually I believe its faster in at least some tasks just that higher performance is not seen in games only professional software.
v56 is 15% less total watts also
v56 is 15% less total watts also

I had a Vega 64 for a short period, my 1080TI was notably better at all resolutions especially 4k.. I imagine this will be echoed further by the Vega 56. But Freesync is a good reason, adaptive sync is a superb technology.
Framerates are between 20-30 fps faster in many places at higher resolutions, and even more at lower resolutions.

Checked Witcher 3 benches at 4k, 1080Ti pulling 66fps average vs 39 Vega 56, yeah even with freesync it would be hard to pick vega over 1080Ti.
In some games though at 4k fps difference can be lower, like in bf1 there is only 17fps difference (73fps vs 56fps) in which case vega would be far better option due to freesync.

care to share what you were using out of interest? were they capable of 120hz @ 1080p and if so where are you going to list them
I thought that a memento of the start of CUDA might be appropriate.

How do you post pictures to this site anyhow?
well here it is
back home, card installed. undervolted and upped the power limit. Not a bad buy so far

Shower thought- Has anyone tried flashing V64 bios to a V56 card yet? Would love to see if possible to unlock the extra SUs
Sorry to break it to you but if he paid £20 for them then they will be single link DVI adapters unless he got a mega discount.care to share what you were using out of interest? were they capable of 120hz @ 1080p and if so where are you going to list them
There are three types of DP-DVI adapters:
Passive, which work natively with cards that support them (usually bearing the DP++) and the cards adapts the signal. These are usually rated for 1080p 60Hz.
Active SL, which have chips that convert the signal. These are usually rated for 1920x1200 60Hz.
Active DL, which have chips that convert the signal. These are usually rated for 2560x1600 60Hz but can do higher refresh at lower res.
Here she is

Now you are asking. I threw them into a box when I replaced my monitor a few weeks back. One is an active sapphire dongle which has 0 info on it. Literally nothing, no part numbers not a thing. I then have a pair of startech dongles that when I put them into google suggests that they are in fact passive adapters (who knew) worked with my eyefinity setup anyway. There must be some way of finding out what this saphire one actually is. I remember it being £40 or more around a year or two ago. My guess is that these aren't going to be cut out for these newer higher refresh rate monitors. I would test but not sure how seen as if this saphire one is the one I think it is then it doesn't support the 4k res of my screen. hmm perhaps I won't bother putting them on MM after all.
yep - which is what im afraid of, pretty much resigns me to running at 60hz untill i can replace my monitors with something which either had dp's on or hdpi 1.4a or higher
my w2363d's do not have either at the mo.
