Should I sell my Vega56

[fastwunz]

Hi all,

I currently have a Saphire Pulse Vega56 with the Samsung memory.

It’s done me proud and, at 39 I had hoped it might see me to the end of my gaming days.

However despite a house renovation, two kids, a job and a wife, I do still find a little time.

with that in mind, I’m thinking I should sell it and upgrade.

I’m currently running an AMD 3600x, 16GB of ram and a B450 Tomahawk. My psu is a lovely seasonic 1000w Gold.

currently i game at 1080p but do fancy a larger monitor and one more card to see me out.

what would you recommend? I note I can get a good price for my Vega because of mining and it’s fully boxed etc.

cheers all

Upgrade to a 3060 Ti FE for £369 and sell the Vega 56 for £500.

Got to be lucky to get the 3060Ti for that price. Theyre the first to sell out and the drops are infrequent.

Is the 3060ti enough of an upgrade?

Google 3060ti relative performance and switch to image search, you'll see a nice little chart showing percentages based off of an aggregate of games at different resolutions. From my brief look, you're talking ~70% increase in performance.

I would aim for a 3070/3070ti FE personally..

The last RTX 3060Ti FE drop lasted 10 seconds before they sold out @ £369.99 . In the real world, the RTX 3060Ti costs £650.

yes this is my experience also - I fear the 3060ti is not going to be quiet enough to last me and so perhaps a 3070ti would offer a little more future proofing? Prices are laughable of course but im acutely aware of the value of my vega at the moment which can’t last forever

When there was a 3060ti and 3070ti FE drop, I was dead set on getting a 3060ti.

By the time I clicked on the Telegram alert link, the 3060ti was sold out. However, clicked on the 3070ti link and it was still in stock.

3060ti is more desirable due to the lower MSRP price and I believe it doesn't have LHR, so everyone is going for that. If you're willing to push your budget a little, you might get a 3070ti.

I went from a Vega 56 to a 3070ti and doubled FPS at 1440p.

No point, if you're going above 3060ti, may as well go 3080.
