Hi,
The price should always have been 398.99. It was a price error on the OP I will change it now.

Thanks for the reassurance orbitalwalsh£300 Vega 56
Should be fine, always depends on games and Res, 1440p is great for Vega 56

Getting ready for BFV - Been sharking ready for Black Friday/Cyber Monday coming up generally... watching for a RTX 2080... cheapest I scouted was £660 - still too much. This review came out today basically tanking any hope of playing BFV with Ray Tracing on 2K.... https://www.techspot.com/review/1749-battlefield-ray-tracing-benchmarks/
Looked at tons of other benchmarks such as https://www.techspot.com/review/1746-battlefield-5-gpu-performance/ - on the whole this deal for the Vega 64 @ £399+P&P us great - playing 2K @ 84-95FPS on Ultra.
Sapphire Radeon RX VEGA 64 Nitro+ 8GB HBM2 PCI-Express Graphics Card @ £398.99 inc VAT
Hope Nvidia and Radeon are reading this... haven't been a Radeon ATI card holder for at least 15 years.
As a bonus there's £150 worth of games allegedly - hopefully I'll be able to sell them on and make the already good price that much better!

I pulled the trigger on a 64 (thanks @Gibbo ), what's this you speak of?!Excellent choice, Now go on the Vega64 owners thread and undervolt it

was looking at the 590 but thr v56 is a great deal, the only problem is the waterblock!!
Edit...if they had released at this price point they would have had the gaming market sewn up and if it wasn't for the mining boom this would have been the price point ages ago.

One word, GUTTED (Angry face)
I ordered my Sapphire RX580 card last week when the offer from AMD was posted that it was running until Monday, I purchased on the Sunday before but was told it was an error on the forum topic and it wouldn’t be honoured. Now a week and a half later it’s back again but I’ve already purchased. Could actually cry

So how does the 56 in the OP compare to the 590 red devil? Are the 590's just oc'd out of the box nearer to their limit, does the 56 have much more headroom for OC? Just a bit confused what is the better deal for available clock speed potential and fps @ 1440p?

So tempted to get a VEGA 56 but struggling to justify the upgrade from a Fury X. I seem to remember the Fury X was sort of close to the Vega 56 at release, has this changed with more optimised drivers? I play at 1440p if that makes a difference
I'm also thinking that the 7nm Vega cards might be on the way and Sapphire are trying to get rid of old stock. Wondering if I'd regret the purchase shortly after getting it if AMD released a new revision of Vega cards that were much better than these.
Doesn't stop me being really really tempted though...

How good is the Vega 64 for a 1440p/144Hz FreeSync monitor vs my current Titan X Pascal?

The Vega 64 is perfect for 1440p

I upgraded to my Vega64 from my 290x (around same performance as 390). At stock it is around 80% faster, but once overclock it's easily almost double the speed of my 290x.
Coming from a 390x I would imagine you already have at least a decent quality 650W PSU, but for the Vega64 it would actually require two PCI-E 8pin power, and it is strongly recommend to get each of the 8pin from separate cables of separate source from the PSU rather than two 8pins connectors bench-off from the same cable.

Someone else mentioned that place in this thread and they and their post quickly dissapeared from time and space. I would delete the reference to be safe.Work night shift so about to sleep, but hoping to wake up to some more deals...
