Got my sapphire vega 56 pulse today and luckily no coil whine. Also checked the memory and got samsungs on it. Will flashing the bios void warranty? I'm probably gonna do it either way but would be nice to know :)

Hi guys, hoping for some advice, received and installed the Sapphire Vega 56 to replace my old GTX 770.

Installation easy, card went straight in booted up no problems.

Uninstalled all of the NVIDIA software then downloaded Radeon Adrenalin software (currently running Radeon Software Version 18.11.1).

Apologies if I'm missing something really obvious as I'm no expert and haven't had a Radeon for many years but I'm getting truly abysmal FPS in benchmark and on Fortnite i.e. as low as 10 - 20!

Do I need to change some settings in the software or change BIOS settings or something?

Thanks in advance for any advice as this has been a massive anti climax lol!!!

PC spec below, never overclocked any components / changed anything from default settings.

Intel i7-4790 3.60GHz LGA1150 Haswell
MSI GEForce GTX 770 OC 2GB DDR5
8GB RAM (Kingston 2 x 4GB DDR3-1600 (11-11-11 timing) DRAM)
MSI B85I Gen 4 LGA1150 Mini ITX motherboard
Antec ISK600 Mini ITX Shuttle Case
Antec Earthwatts EA-550 Platinum low noise PSU
120gb SSD
power supply, not up to it, same thing happened to me with me 700w silverstone, fps all over the place. and freezing,changed to a higher wattage psu and its been fine since.

You may be correct but I'm not convinced, really odd thing is when I run unigine superposition benchmark on 1080p medium I'm getting a score of 12,000 and average fps of 90 so it's reasonably good.

When I try to play Fortnite on the lowest settings it's dying an absolute death.

It's not just Fortnite - even Diablo 3 is running like a dog!

Has anyone flashed there Sapphire Pulse yet to a 64?

Waiting on mine coming and looks like it'd be close to a 1080 with the bios flashed.
