This man knows what he is talking about. I haven't bought an adapter in a long time and have to be honest I didn't even realise there were masses of different types. Pretty much just ignore me I think, is much safer!

^^ I will lower my case temp and hope that counts as enough for now. Hopefully undervolt helps temps also, if it sounds like a hair dryer at idle then thats not going to work out but I use in ears not speakers so it'd have to be quite bad to force my hand.
I looked at HDMI hz etc briefly a while back and Uber I think is correct though I dont get why it cant be a cheap part exactly. The AIB cards might do DVI is probably an important thing to note if you require high frequency, another advantage to waiting for Vega to fully launch I think.
My monitor only goes to 75hz anyhow, I really should be buying something better but I was told to wait for 240hz to develop as it has potential to be the best choice in games over 100fps. Since the battle of the syncs was such a big issue in even justifying Vega I'm interested in what monitors people now buy if any

found a few pics of AIB makers including dvi-d:

with regards to other coolers:
I was intending trying to mount the arctic accelero 3 i have on my r9 290 at the mo, mounting holes dependent of course, but may need to hold off now unless i just bite the bullet for a new monitor also.
Mine has changed to order in progress.
I'm hoping it will undervolt and will be enough, failing that I'm hoping they make aftermarket heatsinks, I noticed a few were made that were fury compatible.
I'm coming from a fury tri-x with unlocked cores. Hoping I have better luck than the fury when it comes to gpu core as that is a poor overclocker. Only managed 1050.

Have the fan boosted in an attempt to combat temps when overclocked, it's definitely noticeable when benchmarking. In game, can't hear it over my headphones
Good to know, currently have a kfa2 EXOC black gtx 970 and it's pretty noisy underload, even with headphones. A dB match or less is a bonus for me.

I hope so, I completed my order in 2mins and wasn't fast enough. Initial stock must have been really small.

what card did you order?
only seen pictures of the sapphire card so far, and I'm pretty sure I didn't get my order in that quickly.
Been pleasantly surprised so far. At idle I don't hear it above my case fans. Gaming I can hear it but it's more of a whooshing noise & very tolerable. Benchmarking it does get a lot louder. This is with default balanced profile.
Oh & it kicks my RX 480 in the....!
ok swapped my R 390 Gaming G1 for the Sapphire R 56
Whisper quiet at idle,hearable at load but way better than the r390, played a couple of games of PUBG, framerate has gone from 50fps to 70-80 FPS
This is without any tweaking at at all, and I know this bit might be me seeing things, seems more colourful and sharper

Have been seriously tempted for V56 since i sold my RX470 4GB for £260 back in June 
but had a lot on so knew wouldn't have time to gme much.
Really want to get it replaced and v56 i think is my next one, just dont want to get the blower style. My old RX270 MSI was so quiet, so tempted by an MSI Armour or Gaming X if not too much more.

Lol at those comments, just to clarify. I'm keeping the GTX 1080 Ti, but putting the RX Vega 56 in my main PC as I don't game much on this. My boys are gonna have my 1080 Ti and it will get plenty of use for them.
Vega 56 at the price I got it seems great bang for buck at the mid end, will do me nicely, all AMD build for a change. Fear not if a truly demanding game does arrive the 1080 Ti may well be put back in xD

It'd be nice to see a Tri-x version but it looks like Asus are the only one that's doing a non reference model and I just know the Asus ROG Tax is going to make the price OTT.
It was like that with the Vega 64 cards where I was in a queue on the OCUK line at 2pm when orders started, Then I got the deal done and recieved a confirmation e-mail at 2:12 pm, Then I learn OCUK only had 30 water-cooled cards and I wasn't quick enough. Wasn't Vega worth the wait eh?
