The RX Vega 56 Owners Thread

I was honest with mine, she gets the haribo though :(
Sad times. My situation is complicated. I'm technically separated from mine but we still share a bank account so I can fully support my daughter; my wife just couldn't work enough to support our child due to health issues. She just gets a real bee in her bonnet about big purchases and hates "spending money we don't have". Alas I've been trying to save all year to buy the parts I wanted but there was always something going on that meant it didn't stay saved for long so I bit the bullet and did this on finance; I can feel an argument coming...
 
2% off at the same clocks with 12% less CUs; highlights a bottleneck outside of the GPU core. Wouldn't risk flashing a BIOS for the clock changes though, that's easily achieved through WattMan or any other OC utility. I'm at 1650/950 with a small undervolt and haven't started tweaking yet

I believe the 56 has different RAM manufacture with 64 gettings samsung chips and higher voltage which even voltage control couldn't reach

Please can you share your settings? A print-screen would be nice, thanks.

Similar to me, I have memory at 900, still playing with voltage and I have the last 2 states down to 1050 and benching heaven and gears of war 4 ok

No point anybody arguing everybody's situation is different and nobody should be made to feel in any way bad about purchasing choices! People are bound to have and opinion but you know what they say about opinions... If it makes you happy buddy all the best to you and I hope you enjoy that card! :D
 
Woot! 56 installed and silent on idle (watching youtube etc.) which was a concern for me initially. Will post a pic tomorrow to get on the ROHL :D
Offered the Haribo to the woman to soften the deal not knowing they're not Vegetarian friendly oops!
