Vega 56 worth it at around £200?

Hades · 22 Jun 2019 at 10:03

Is the V56 a good used buy at around £200 currently? Gaming at 1900x1200. Thanks.

Yes!

Oh yeah. Great card.

Alexrose1uk · 22 Jun 2019 at 12:03

Yes. Navi is only due to be about 10% faster than Vega 64 in raw performance whilst costing substantially more than £200

Thanks. Another option is a 1070 for a bit less than the V56.

1070 or V56 ?

Thanks

Vega 56 in my opinion. Though both are good cards in their own right.

Thanks again. I've been looking at reviews and initially they looked fairly equal,with the 1070 pushing ahead in a few titles my son likes. But I then found a few reviews updating their results for 2019 and the V56 appears to have pulled quite a bit ahead of the stock 1070 and approaches a 1080 in some games. I was genuinely surprised.

Thanks. It looks like the V56 is a cracking card and I've been happy with the V64 in my own machine.

Its superb for that money!

Hades · 22 Jun 2019 at 18:29

Thanks all. I'm amazed everyone is in agreement.

Thaifood · 23 Jun 2019 at 21:44

Yes for that money!

I’ve just landed a boxed Gigabyte Vega 64 on the bay for £245. Retail price of £390. Might be worth setting your sights on that.

Don't think that's enough of a discount for second hand considering they cost £236 new.

ukxenon · 23 Jun 2019 at 23:46

too right jump on it for that price

Thanks. But the only V56 I can find for £236 are for reference coolers. This one has a better cooler.

EDIT: Decided to go for it. It's a B grade item from here so it's returnable if there are issues when I receive it and it has a 90 day warranty. Thanks all.

does it come with the 2 free games ?
if so id go for it, if not id spend the extra ~£70 for a new card with full warranty and the games

Good point. No I don't think it does.

B Grade items have no promotional items with them so no free games.

Wait until Wednesday as some special offers on 56 going live for new ones with games.

Is this the last push of Vega to make room for Navi stuff?

Is it easy to sell on the games that come bundled with these cards? how do you go about it?
