The RX Vega 56 Owners Thread

Interesting, thanks for your replies.
1) Both my partner and I game with headphones on so noise is not that much of a thing, I just don't want it sounding like a jet engine.
2) Is there much risk with flashing the BIOS? Fairly straightforward?
3) Decent, I will play around with the fan and see if I can bring it down a touch.
4) I don't mind dropping the settings a bit, I just feel like Wildlands at medium is lowering settings too much. I agree with Wildlands though, even my 1080Ti struggles at 2560 x 1440!

Definitely do your research first, but yeah, it's not too difficult.

Just run 3D Mark Time spy, Stuck my normal Radeon gaming profile on, Result= 1692mhz gpu clock, 949mhz mem clock, 220w power draw, 66 degrees Hot spot, Well happy with this. My new Anidees case is helping, It's exhausting cool air!
 
Hi all, was thinking of going for a vega 56 as I am looking into gaming at 1440p. I have a seasonic gold 650w psu from about 8 years ago would it power the card ok ?

The ATI Vega 56 is it worth flashing it to the vega 64 as I was looking at the sapphire version of this card and I really wanted a quiet machine as I don't like fan noise and also wanted to use it as a 4k media playback system can these cards do all 4k formats like streaming and x265 and 60hz playback ?

thanks for any help

The Vega 56 is definitely a great card for 1440p gaming, and it can even do 4K if you tweak your game settings. I haven't flashed mine, but evidently doing so can get you close to Vega 64 performance levels.

You really can't go wrong with Vega these days, and since everything else is now supidly expensive, it's even better value than it used to be. :D
 
I've looked at Navi (poor price performance, and only a blower cooler, no way on earth am I spending hundreds of pounds on anything with a blower cooler), I've looked at NV Super (super = super expensive) - so I keep coming back to Vega 56, only decision is whether to buy now or wait for release of Navi?

Don't wait too long. There's a higher chance of it going out of stock than it getting much cheaper.
 
I have a silly question which I am sure has been answered already. I have 2 Vega 56 from Sapphire. Both are the Nitro ones, one the standard and one the LE version. Appart from some extra RGB I don't think they are different maybe the LE can take more OC.

Is it possible for me to Crossfire them even though they are a bit different? I am on a very old setup (p5q deluxe Q9550) atm but building up components for a new Zen2 pc. I tried Crossfiring on the current setup but PC wouldn't xfire them i guess PCI EXpress 2 might have to do something with this :P. I know the mobo can do crossfire but then again it is 11 years or so old.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, it should just balance clocks across the two,

As for why it didn't work I'm guessing it's because they use the infinity fabric tech to communicate, but I'm not sure if that's card side or PCI
