If they done as the last AMD game promotion, the steam games gets a normal code to put in. The Ubisoft game though you need to do this: Log in or create an Ubisoft Uplay account by clicking “Redeem on Uplay with your Ubisoft account”. So not as easy as with the other two games.

Any word on estimated performance figures for the Vegas with these big bang drivers?

I didn't think the Vega 64 was that powerful. Somewhere between a 1070 and 1080. For 4k I was under the impression you'd need a 1080ti/2080 to push 60fps at high settings.

Vega 64 Nitro & Red Devil are faster than the 1080.

I use mine at 4K and works fine with Freesync TV.

@Gibbo

awesome deals ! wondering how GTX 1060 GDDR5X will gon considering many people ignored the limited 9Gbps version , you'd hope they'd be running 10 at least haha

good to see AMD getting solid support fan base with midrange gpus

also, able to DM/Trust myself, waiting to hear back from yourselves is painful

seen Vega 56 beats gtx 1070ti in BFV

I’d buy a 580 over a 1060 or 590 to be honest simply because £199 with two games is unbeatable value.

No idea but look at previous Big Bang releases and the gains can be anywhere from 5-20% depending on game.

Just took delivery a Samsung 75" NU8000 yesterday. Shame I won't have time to try Freesync on it as I am too busy with work till after the end of the year.

That Sapphire 56 price at sub £300 with 3 games is bloody mental!!

Can't go wrong with AMD lately, awesome value. Looking forward to those drivers, not as if I need them now as my Vega is smashing everything I throw at it 1440p!

My daughter will be very happy soon!

I am ridiculously tempted by the Vega deals.
Two questions, is the 64 worth it over the 56 and is a 650w psu good enough to power them?

64 is worth it if your happy to spend £100 more, but 56 is unbeatable on value for money factor!

650W if poor quality wont cut it if it’s gold or higher rated should be ok.

Also remember with Vegas under volt them as they then run faster, quieter and cooler!

Nice one Gibbo . Roll on 2pm :-)

Ohh very nice deal on the Vega 56, its just a shame my old Seasonic s2 500w may not be able to handle it and after all this time it just wont die.

i'm running the vega64 strix with a superflower 650w with no issues

The Sapphire Vega 64 Nitro+ with the 3 games bundle deal is a real steal

Well the Vega 56 at £300 makes me wonder what the point of the 590 at £260/£270 is?

Simon D · 15 Nov 2018 at 11:08

Maybe time to retire my HD7990 and move to the Sapphire Vega 64 Nitro+.

I am really tempted to go with a Vega at these prices with games I would definitely play.

I currently have an MSI 980ti that I could give to my partner. However, my Monitor is a G-Sync and was a large investment
