Can all three game codes be sold? I dont really have any interest in any of them.

Thanks

Poneros · 15 Nov 2018 at 13:54

Amazing. Think I'm gonna get both 56 & 64 (one for someone else).

Vega 64 @ £399
Vega 56 @ £299
RX 590 8G @ £259
RX 580 8G @ £199
RX 570 8G @ £159
RX 570 4G & £149

Was tempted when I heard about the RX590 but for an extra £40, you may as well stump up for the Vega 56 for significantly more performance.

What's the deal with flashing a V64 bios onto a V56 card? Can this be done on any V56 card?

I THINK only reference boards, could be wrong though.

cheers.

Great deal Gibbo, ordered a vega 64. Rude not to at that price.

Could a corsair cx600m run the vega64?

Be touch and go imo.

Holy moly Gibbo! That's some cracking deals.

I am in quandary now. I have a 980Ti and a normal 1440p IPS monitor but want to get on Freesync/Gsync, with the former been the much more likely option.

If I could sell my 980Ti for £175-200, a couple of games (if possible), seems silly not to go for a V56.

Decisions....

Question for vega owners.

Do the 56 and 64 cards not have DVI at all?

What on earth was Sapphire thinking with the colour scheme of the 590 Nitro+ special edition?

Probably that they wanted to go back to the old days of cool/fun color schemes instead of the boring junk everyone been shipping for the past 3-5 years

In fairness though EVGA lead the charge with their RTX XC Ultra cards, coolest looking cards in a decade (though this new sapphire one does give them a run for their money).

Mine don't, however Displayport is backwards compatible with DVI/HDMI so you can connect DP to DVI adaptors or cables to those ports, or use HDMI to DVI cables (same era of tech, sideways compatible due to being essentially the same thing with diff connectors for computers/TVs).

handyandy24 · 15 Nov 2018 at 16:25

I really want one of these cards but

Probably won't fit my sg13 case
Psu may not be good enough 600w
Heat in the case may cause issues

Ian Evey · 15 Nov 2018 at 16:25

Thanks pal.

will have to read up on it as i cant be paying another 300 quid for a decent monitor when the one i have is perfectly fine.

Looking to replace my very old gtx 680, what would be best GPU out of these for 60hz 1440p gaming ?

Get the V64. It will serve you well for years

Kelt · 15 Nov 2018 at 16:35

If I didn't have a 1070 and a Gysnc monitor I'd be all over that Nitro 64.

Great deal.

Afaik only on the ones with Samsung memory, which is usually 10% of the cards, someone purchased a bunch and tested (miners) but can't remember where I saw it. Imo the flashing bios bit is overrated, it's not really the free performance you read about.

keybaud · 15 Nov 2018 at 16:36

Damn you, OcUK. I want the Division 2 and I'd come to the conclusion that the one Vega 64 I'd consider is the Sapphire. I've now just got to convince my wife that I did this so that my son could get a graphics card upgrade, as a RX 580 is much better than his current card. No, of course I didn't do it so I could get a Vega 64. Wish me luck.
