The RX Vega 56 Owners Thread

Overlag · 20 Sep 2017 at 10:36

Sapphire Ref card. Full EKWB and backplate also here but testing card first. Graphics scores gone up massively but CPU scores gone down due to underclocking the 1700. Will go back to water sooner than later.

Also had the time to test Two RX480s (two wouldnt fit before due to reservoir placement) in there which actually beat the Vega 56, but only 1 of my games supports Crossfire so thats utterly pointless.

Absolutely. nVidia FE editions are exactly the same arrangement.

Ok, I didn't know that.

Just as well I never removed that "warranty void if removed" sticker from the back tension plate screw, I just went through it with the screwdriver LOL

Yeah be careful with that!

i paid 379 two weeks ago. It did change to 389 the same day though. I got lucky i guess

I tried to speech the sales guy to reduce it for me when I found that out, they weren't having it lol.

Guys, please tell me if your retail box came with it clingfilm wrapped/sealed, because I finally opened mine today and my one never, and one of the side seal stickers was undone? :confused:

It's the powercolor model.

Any one please?!

mine was undone too, and not sealed. No wear on PCI connector though so i know it hasn't been used. Looks like the machine that done the sealing stickers failed on a batch of sapphire cards.

They don't come wrapped. Both my Sapphire and PowerColoue were not wrapped.

erazor51 · 20 Sep 2017 at 15:18

There was 10+ powercolour models in stock a few hours back, suddenly all out of stock now, must be a miner lol.

i must admit it does look pretty good as standard, almost a shame to watercool it. Almost
