The RX Vega 56 Owners Thread

[YB2ndBEST]

Guys at overclockers said it's fine to use it and should not make a difference. I might try it tomorrow though.

I mean.. maybe it'll work but these things pull quite a bit. If you have the proper cabling / psu to giver each input it's own line I definitely would.

Corsair provided two of those daisy chain cables. Should I plug both and just leave one of the ends hanging or buy a single 8pin end?

Still happening. Two cables I plugged in now.

Curious... what monitor are you using? or is it a TV?

Brand new Acer XF270HUA

Dang.. when you pull up the ddu in safe mode before you click anything and it shows the list of devices it's found, you only see one gpu from amd right? if you see anything from intel or nvidia (for whatever reason) make sure you go through the ddu process on all of them. Or is this a fresh install of windows?

So i got My Sapphire pulse Vega now.. Good god this thing is cool, never goes above 65 om core 70 om hbm. And clocks like a champ and totally silent too. So glad i swapped out of the strix card

glad to hear that one is better! see told you to pick the pulse!

 

[creesten]

I RMA'd my Pulse today because of those artifacts. Let's hope they will replace and give me a working one (unless it's a different piece that's broken, then I'm screwed).

 

[Dennis Persson]

Anyone ense got weird Noise from the fans of Vega 56 pulse?

 

[Dennis Persson]

Its like a ratteling Noise..

 

[Aztec2Step]

Finally upgraded to Vega 56 from an MSI R9 290X Lightning LE (beast of a card). The Red Dragon is a bit noisy but this one clocks nicely on both the core and HBM2. Very happy with it!

Sapphire Pulse arrived, installed fine and luckily has Samsung memory so will be fine for some overclocking when I get time.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your Vega 56.

Cheers, Kaapstad!

This Red Dragon has Samsung memory and my wife's Sapphire Pulse has SK Hynix, they both go to 980MHz stable on the HBM. Couldn't believe the performance uplift from upping the memory frequency alone!

EDIT: Samsung, not Samung lol

Anyone got a screenshot of their vega 56 wattman settings?

Will want to undervolt mine so as to get it cool and quiet.

 

[Aztec2Step]

I'm using Afterburner and have taken 100mV off the core. It stays under 65°c on the stock fan curve, around 55°c with a custom fan curve set to 50% speed minimum.

Going to try and stick to wattman and not install MSI AB as I've read people have had nothing but issues with vega and MSI AB for clocking

Fair enough. I've had no issues so far, and Wattman doesn't have a decent overlay (yet).
