The RX Vega 56 Owners Thread

[eeii]

Got the Powercolor 56 recently so next thing is to upgrade my 1080p monitor. Hows the 56 with 4K? Or would I be better off going with 1440p?

Vega 56 will really struggle with 4k. 1440p will be perfect.

 

[Trevonn]

Oh God, don't say that...

Yeah sadly It seems to have afflicted a lot of Vegas from what I've seen online. Including mine

Edit: missed a few words

Well I guess I've got about a week to decide if I want to cancel my pre-order.

 

[Brazo]

I've just fitted mine into a Bitfenix Prodigy mITX build. It's *very* snug. Temp after 10 mins 100% load is 68C.

Thanks for the heads up I have that case and it’s a pretty big case as far as mitx goes!

Anybody get Coil Whine with their Sapphire Pulse RX Vega 56?

Oh God, don't say that...

Sapphire Vega Pulse has the potential to have very bad coil whine! https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/sapphire-vega-56-pulse-noise.18832940/

Doesn't necessarily mean they all do though of course.

 

[LukasBB]

Got my sapphire vega 56 pulse today and luckily no coil whine. Also checked the memory and got samsungs on it. Will flashing the bios void warranty? I'm probably gonna do it either way but would be nice to know

 

[gazzaa]

Installed my vega 56 pulse and no coil whine very nice card tbh.

 

[konrad13x]

Mine unit is free of this issue as well (using it with 10 years old PSU).

 

[kaiserc]

Any guides on how to optimize this vega 56 pulse? great card, by the way, quiet too, good cooler.
Got this after some tweaking https://www.3dmark.com/fs/17074026

Hi guys, hoping for some advice, received and installed the Sapphire Vega 56 to replace my old GTX 770.

Installation easy, card went straight in booted up no problems.

Uninstalled all of the NVIDIA software then downloaded Radeon Adrenalin software (currently running Radeon Software Version 18.11.1).

Apologies if I'm missing something really obvious as I'm no expert and haven't had a Radeon for many years but I'm getting truly abysmal FPS in benchmark and on Fortnite i.e. as low as 10 - 20!

Do I need to change some settings in the software or change BIOS settings or something?

Thanks in advance for any advice as this has been a massive anti climax lol!!!

PC spec below, never overclocked any components / changed anything from default settings.

Intel i7-4790 3.60GHz LGA1150 Haswell
MSI GEForce GTX 770 OC 2GB DDR5
8GB RAM (Kingston 2 x 4GB DDR3-1600 (11-11-11 timing) DRAM)
MSI B85I Gen 4 LGA1150 Mini ITX motherboard
Antec ISK600 Mini ITX Shuttle Case
Antec Earthwatts EA-550 Platinum low noise PSU
120gb SSD

power supply, not up to it, same thing happened to me with me 700w silverstone, fps all over the place. and freezing,changed to a higher wattage psu and its been fine since.

Thank you . I just need a Freesync monitor and I'm complete.

You may be correct but I'm not convinced, really odd thing is when I run unigine superposition benchmark on 1080p medium I'm getting a score of 12,000 and average fps of 90 so it's reasonably good.

When I try to play Fortnite on the lowest settings it's dying an absolute death.

It's not just Fortnite - even Diablo 3 is running like a dog!

I want to get on that board guys!

I was thinking Asus Strix, Powercolor or Sapphire.
Not going be able to order in time for the £299 deal.

 

[Begbie]

Has anyone flashed there Sapphire Pulse yet to a 64?

Waiting on mine coming and looks like it'd be close to a 1080 with the bios flashed.
