Does the mid/lower range cards trigger the game bundle?

How do the Gigabyte and Asus cards compare to the Sapphire?
It seems I've missed out on the better Sapphire deal but since I'm leaning towards a Vega64 now I'm tempted to jump on the Gigabyte or the Asus if they perform alright.

Yes 570 and 580 have two games. 560 and lower NO games.
Sapphire - Best performance on 64.
Asus - Quietest of the Vega's but slowest due to VRM temps.
Gigabyte - Sits in middle.
On 56 however they all perform quite similar, but on 64 Sapphire is best performance and Asus is quietest.
Bad salesmanship Gibbo
The Asus Strix is *cough* the ideal card for modders who want to get a big performance boost with their tweaking ;P

Just honesty, simple fact is Asus always sells like the best, because its Asus, only the members here generally are more savvy and look at other brands.

When you say the Asus is the slowest, how much slower is it? Are we talking marginal 1-2% or is it quite a bit slower?
Around reference performance levels un-modded or not using under-volt. Can't put percentage on it.
However just like with all Vegas if you undervolt them they perform faster, run cooler and run quieter, they are quite unique when it comes to overclocking but in a very good way. Plus AMD drivers and the chill and wattman functions which are really very cool.
You have to look at it this way: Sapphire is AMD only maker. So their focus is to make best card possible to make sure they survive among big boys, as they don't really have many other income sources. Majority of their products are around AMD. ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI have their fingers in tone of other things and are also making cards for market dominant nVidia, so their AMD cards are not the main source of income.
You cannot make great products if you are stretching yourself think, and try to be part of all the markets.
I always look first to Sapphire when I buy a new GPU, and if they are not available I start looking at others.

Nice, ordered my sapphire vega 56 on Friday, no word from ocuk on order status over the weekend or Monday so called today and was informed they've over sold on this card. Was told there might be some stock next week but they can't guarantee it. The bloke on the phone said it would be mid dec otherwise. Debating whether to ask for a refund. Thing I'm most annoyed about is that they take the money quickly enough and charge £9.99 for next day delivery.... Wonder if that would be refunded as it clearly won't be next day if and when it eventually arrives .ordered a Sapphire RX 570 Nitro+ 8Gb yesterday, coming tomorrow
I have to say the Sapphire Pulse 56 really quiet and very cool. With a bit of easy tinkering with wattman, you can get a lot better performance and efficiency when compared to its at stock. Cheers for the Deal.

I want to hold out for the Vega 56 Pulse I pre-ordered, but I'm getting tempted by the PowerColor Red Devil Vega 56, mostly because it's in stock.
@Gibbo Sapphire Vega 56 is showing ETA 31st December on the shop now. Is that just for stock at £338.99 or for those that pre-ordered at £300 too?
Appreciate you said mid December already, just wondering if that 31st is new info as I hadn't spotted it before.

Mid December, webshop has later ETAs to avoid disappointment.
