The RX Vega 56 Owners Thread

[SHOGUNXSHINOBI]

I didnt really spend that much time with them in game, just while having a tidy up left benches running - that said the 56 bios is very fussy about hbm speed, anything over 960 @ +50 power limit and driver locks up, and the core randomly crashes on oc speed depending what you are doing (for example heaven can take +5% core @ 1100mv, whereas timespy crashs with +3%).

with the 64 bios it would complete at 1100 HMB, but as i say, im not sure these speeds are actually applying despite what wattman says due to no jump in actual scores.

at the moment, ive left core at default clocks, 1100mv, +50% power limit, hbm @ 950, 950mv - dont really need that extra 2 fps on this 1080 monitor, going to wait a couple of driver revisions and have another play with it.

Thanks for the info.

The sapphire vapor x is what's needed here

indeed sapphire have made very good coolers. with the tri x and vapour x

What freesync range should i be using?

My monitor supports two ranges, 30 - 90Hz and 56 - 144Hz.

I mostly play fps games so I want the option with the least input lag, latency etc. What happens when i go over my freesync range? thanks

You've answered your own question then, you want the higher range. Alter your settings to stay above 100Hz (mostly) if possible, it'll be lovely and smooth

With the C1 revision chip.

Thanks, my only concern is when i play certain games that are more gpu intensive and fall under the lower freesync range what happens? i don't want to keep changing free sync ranges.

Alter settings to compensate.

30-90 I'd say as that will allow you to bump the settings.

For to go with the other range you'd have to run lower settings to maintain the FPS in that range.

But he wants the lowest input lag, so he has no choice but to lower the settings. If he wanted both he should have gotten a Ti

What res monitor is it, 1080 then go with the higher freesync range or 1440p then go with the lower range

I suspect it's the MG279Q...

So unless he loves CS:GO or Overwatch then he'll have to compromise a lot on settings.

Then my advice is try both ranges and see which he prefers

Asus Strix Vega 64 review came out on 3d Guru, only 1c lower temps on full load and merely 2 less DBa than reference design.

Not a lot of improvement here and not really worth the wait nor extra £20-50 asus will charge for it over reference (im guessing).

http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/asus-radeon-rog-rx-vega-64-strix-8gb-review,1.html

Lets see if Vega 56 will have better experience from AIB treatment.

Wow! that is quite crap coming from asus, and the mad thing is they still might charge the premium ripoff for it, as they usually do.

True.

Second range then and lower settings.

 

[erazor51]

It's on my Sig, Eizo Foris FS2735.

I'll have to run some tests I guess. I think single player games with eye candy maxed I will run low range freesync with enhanced sync enabled. For competitive fps games like cs:go I will play at 144hz with freesync off as I don't want any sort of lag or latency added.

I got my powercolor vega today and they ran out of stock not long after, Its still in the packaging and I don't know why but I'm a bit hesitant to open it up!

Don't open it, send it over to me

I'm hesitant because I keep thinking the AIB versions are soon to pop up for the same price and will perform much better, and I have 2 weeks from today to return it if I want but I just don't know man I just don't know what to do!
