*** AMD GO WILD: VEGA 56 THE TRUE DEAL OF THE CENTURY AND IT JUST GOT BETTER!!!

Gibbo said:
Yep the deal is being taken very well.
We've sold nearly 200 units this afternoon, had a massive rush on them. :D

When can we expect orders of the MSI Vega 56 Air Boost to be fulfilled? I ordered one yesterday, and stock was supposedly due in today, but there's been no shipping confirmation and the store page is still saying that it's a pre-order.

I just checked my bank account, and the payment has been debited.

Hi Gibbo,

Do you know how long you will be able to support this pricing? Or if you don't have a fixed date, roughly how many units left at this price?
Would love to upgrade from my GTX1070, but IRL expenses have to come first right now!

Thanks

Not sure that's much of an upgrade.

The Vega 56 sits somewhere between a 1070 and 1080, so it is an upgrade, granted it's not a big one, but it's something nevertheless.

Should have clarified better; I'm mainly looking for a boost in BF5 which from what I've seen favours AMD, other titles are running pretty much fine and I'm spending most of my gaming time on that at the moment.
Also, may have a need for a second system soon, in which case I'll rebuild the 1070 with my 2500k.....and the 1070 has a slightly rattly fan at certain RPM, which gets on my nerves, not to mention upgrade itch!

But thanks for pointing out that the gap was minor, for a more generalised use case - I'm still thinking I've gone slightly mad to consider it but as nV prices just keep going up and up for less SPs......!

In your case I'd consider going to the Vega 64 for a better upgrade.

They should arrived today, but courier error means they will now arrive Monday.

At my discretion, once our stock is low the price will go up and continue to increase until they are gone in a similar fashion to 1080Ti's.
 
Mine arrived today, shame it's got to sit in its box until the rest of the build arrives

What's the best way to sell the games? Not interested in any of them, do I just provide the code that arrived in the email?
 
Just installed mine having shifted up slightly from a Sapphire RX480 Nitro+ to the Vega 56 Pulse. Rest of the system is a 3570k and 16GB ram. Stock 3.8Ghz with memory at 1866Mhz.

Decided to run a couple of benchmarks on Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Assassins Creed Odyssey.

Odyssey - Very High, 2560x1440

RX480 - Min 18, Max 58, Avg 40 - Session Time 64, Total Frames 2552
Vega56 - Min 24, Max 82, Avg 54 - Session Time 60, Total Frames 3250

SOTR - High, 2560x1440

RX480 (GPU) - Min 37, Max 72, Avg 48 - Frames 7204, GPU Bound 98%
Vega56 (GPU) - Min 56, Max 112. Avg 66 - Frames 8927, GPU Bound 67%

At first I was a bit disappointed in real terms, but then looking at the % increases I was very pleased.

Might be a placebo but definitely sounds quieter too.
