Gibbo, are the games definitely allowed to be sold?

Must say i'm tempted by a vega 56 but have no interest in any of those three games.

Will there be any better deals on a vega 56 come black friday, or is this is?

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

Depending on realistic how much gaming you will be doing till next year, as it may be good to wait for 7nm GPU cards that will be coming next year.

IMO if you cannot justify spending that much on the Vega64, the Sapphire Vega 56 at £299.99 with 3 free games would be a good upgrade without having to spend another £100 extra.

For gaming at 1440p 60/75Hz the Vega64 most likely won't offer much noticeable extra performance over the Vega56; it is at 1440p 120/144Hz or 4K that the Vega64 extra performance would be more apparent over the Vega56.
 
Perfect timing! Deals are awesome! Sold my evga hybrid 980 a week ago for £200 on the bay so this Vega 64 deal is what I'm looking at, one question I have though can anyone shed light on Sapphire stance if I stuck an aftermarket aio on? Would it void warranty?

Ugh, have a Gsync monitor but my 970 is definitely feeling the strain in BF5, makes 1440p a chore.

bloody stupid graphics card market :(

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.

I'll overclock and turn down settings until I get a frame rate I'm happy with. That or run 3840 x 1440 1:1 on my Philips 4K screen. Not shelling out £600+ so I have little choice.
 
How much of an improvement is 56 against 590? as the prices are so close i would be leaning toward 56. but is it worth them 50£ extra?
can't wait to change that old 270x :D
 
Been reading that apparently that sapphire pulse vega 56 uses lesser memory and different PCB board to other vegas so performance etc. isn't as good???
 
As it's my birthday tomorrow, I'm going to order the Vega 64. By the time I've sold my 1070 and games, it would be a relatively cheap upgrade and have the ability to use freesync.
