Sapphire Vega 56 Pulse or Sapphire Vega 64 Nitro for 1440P

[Abdul Rafay Mian]

Hi Guys,

I am currently looking at buying either the Sapphire Vega 56 Pulse for £290 or Sapphire Vega 64 Nitro for £400. Both from Overclockers UK

Is the extra £110 worth it for Vega 64 ?

I have a 1440P 75Hz monitor but might upgrade it later to a 1440p 144hz monitor.

Any suggestion ?

I game at 75hz with a Sapphire Pulse and its brilliant, not sure how close to 144fps it would get though, personally if it was me I would get the 56 and see what Navi brings but it depends on your needs.

Stick to V56, the performance difference is too small for £110, esp. for 1440p. And I say that as someone with the V64 Nitro.

The 56 is much better value. Overclock the memory to 950MHz and you eliminate half the performance gap with a couple of clicks.

Thanks guys, I went with the Vega 56.

I'm upgrading from a r9 290.

Any undervolting and overclocking guides anyone can suggest ?

Check the 56 owners thread plenty in there.

after a 290 you should appreciate the boost, especially after undervolting and oc'ing, after coming from a nano r9, I like the boost but not the noise, it takes me back to my 290 dayz ;P

Currently playing Prey at 1440p everything's set to max and smaa X 1 it rarely drops below 100fps on Vega 56 Pulse

Played Far Cry 4 before that, similar settings, 80fps with dips into the 50's when it got very busy

Prey seems well optimised and gives you two examples of how games can run on a 56

I would go Vega 64 with 1440p if you max ultra and over 100FPS

Currently running a Vega 64 @ 1440P and getting 110fps in games like Apex Legends and Wreck Fest on ultra

Very smmoth

v56, undervolt and oc, close to over just over stock v64 perf, and £110 saved
