Too bad that Sapphire Vega 56 is 282mm long, won't fit in my Raijintek Metis case Ah well.

windforce is 274mm but more costly

@Gibbo

any flash Freeysnc screen deals for 1080p and 1440p to compliment the AMD deals?

garymcq23 · 15 Nov 2018 at 14:14

When can we expect the other deals? I'm looking for some 1080ti and i7 8700 deals

JakePNEFC · 15 Nov 2018 at 14:21

G sync monitor else I would be all over it, waiting on some Ryzen deals

gingergamer · 15 Nov 2018 at 14:28

Wow so tempted on a 64

Don't even have the cash for the rest of the build until new year, but feel like I should snap this up whilst I can

GTX 1080TI black OC - one Gibbo helped with is currently at £620 , By 9900k OEM for £10 more on here for the sake of easier cooling and it performs just a bit higher then gaming at stock the 8700k with its higher thread count but lower core count

I'm pretty much sold

One question - what's that long L-shaped thing in the first image??

You mean for the Vega 64 ? It is a card support since the card is so long.

Just how Sapphire decide to do it. No reason

Is there going to be any deals on RX580's with 4GB of VRAM?

I don't need the 8GB so would be nice if I could get some savings somewhere as on a budget.

only a 10 pound difference. Might as well get the 8GB. Its worth it

orbitalwalsh · 15 Nov 2018 at 15:17

if i remember correctly , 4GB versions run slower ram speed?

Mr G · 15 Nov 2018 at 15:24

Thanks for the deals @Gibbo

Just bought the Sapphire Radeon RX570 8G for my daughters build, for £158.99 with 2 games was a no brainer and amazing value!

Kurgen · 15 Nov 2018 at 15:30

would any of these be a viable upgrade from a GTX1060 6gb currenlty 1080p maybe going to 1440p

Ah I see, cheers

Thanks for posting this, just pulled the trigger on the Vega 56 to upgrade my GTX 770 which has served me flawlessly albeit on older, less demanding games.

Apologies for the noob first post but my PC spec is below, just checking if you guys think it will be too much of a bottleneck for this card?

Intel i7-4790 3.60GHz LGA1150 Haswell
MSI GEForce GTX 770 OC 2GB DDR5
8GB RAM (Kingston 2 x 4GB DDR3-1600 (11-11-11 timing) DRAM)
MSI B85I Gen 4 LGA1150 Mini ITX motherboard
Antec ISK600 Mini ITX Shuttle Case
Antec Earthwatts EA-550 Platinum low noise PSU

Thanks guys.

I am mad considering going back to amd?
I have a benq xl2730z 1440p freesync monitor, paired with a 1080ti. I do kinda miss freesync.
I'm thinking go for it, and I can probably sell the 1080ti for the price of the Vega 64 (Asus rog strix)
Hmmmmmmm.....

0h_no_not_again · 15 Nov 2018 at 16:26

Just notice the Sapphire Vega 64 is actually £398 not £389, after purchasing. Ha.

Price risen due to demand?!?

Should be fine, always depends on games and Res, 1440p is great for Vega 56
