I bought a Vega 64 Sapphire nitro + from overclockers uk a week ago, and it has really bad coil whine. If I was to send it back for a replacement how long would it take before I got a new one, as I assume it would be a replacement from overclockers as it is within 30 days. Would it be easier to just return for a refund and buy a new one as then it would only take the delivery time of the new one to get a new one. (I have enough money spare to do this at the moment luckily).

Wouldn't take long id have thought, as they are quick these guys, probably only take about a week to test and send replacement (assuming they still have stock), it would be quicker to buy another though, if you can.
I think its a problem of the Nitro+ cards, as theres quite a few on here now that have whiners.

I've had a replacement 580 sent out within the week. I.e. I posted the card on a Monday and I received the replacement on the Thursday, but they had the cards in stock. With the Sapphire 64's not being in stock might be a problem for your RMA, it may have to wait until new stock arrives - when ever that is..
Also, we know that 1000 64's were sold so it's no surprise that a few have issues. While I think that coil whine is a iffy thing to get a card RMA'd. I would say that I have heard really loud cards, especially with high frame rates, that I couldn't live with. But I've also seen cards that squeal in one machine be silent, coil wise, in another.

Instead of getting the Vega 64 Sapphire nitro + I went with a gigabyte 2070 and it's very good for VR.
Even if ark I can play epic settings with 70-80 fps.
