have you lowered the volts by any chance? if so might be youve gone to far? try increasing and see how you get on if at stock you may have received a bad one.

I thought I might as well cross-post in here to see if anyone can help. I've just installed a Vega 56 into my Z68 based motherboard and I'm not getting any display. I've updated the BIOS to the latest one I can find (beta 
) and it hasn't helped.
Anyone managed to get this card working on an older board?

No, not done that yet. RadeonSettings is one of the things thst seem to cause the driver to crash.

Tried tweaking the power cables on the card, I have display! Panic over

thats probably not a good sign, sounds like its either unstable at stock volts which may require an RMA, or something else is going off. i know you have DDU'd but could you test the card in another machine to see if you get the same issue? would indicate if its a hardware or software issue.

Guys which Vega would you recommend? I can choose between Sapphire pulse with 3 games or Asus Strix without games for same price.
Associate
pulse all day
Soldato
Can't really test in another machine.
The fact I had the same thing with my Fury X cards and one worked and one didn't has me worried that this is a card fault.
EDIT: meant to type Fury X but typed Vega

seems to be a bit of a coincidence, if you don't want to reinstall windows which i guess you don't. if you have a spare hard drive, you could try unplugging your current drive/s. plugging the spare in and installing windows fresh, install the latest amd driver, if you get the same issue its hardware, if not its something on your daily OS install. might be worth a shot.

Why pulse? Only 2 fans, and i want a quiet system.
Associate
by all accounts the strix has a shonky cooler, so unless you want to replace some thermal pads go pulse. afaik the pulse has lower thermals all-round therefore would be quieter.

Didnt they fix the vem thermal problem through?
Associate
there's a few recent posts on here where people have replaced the pads, other than that not sure. even so personally i would still choose the pusle. asus have crap customer service and why bother with a company that cant be bothered with you when it counts?

I think that its more likely something else wrong with your system if two different cards have ended up going that way Googaly. You get a faulty card now and again but unlikely two different models over varying generations showing the same issue.

I've had:
290X (fine)
GTX 980 (fine)
Fury X (driver issues)
Fury X (different one) (fine)
Vega 56 (driver issues)
Not sure what's likely wrong with the system that would cause one Fury X not to work but the other one does. Don't even know what to test for if it was something to do with the system.

the normal check for vega is PSU, it tends to weed out the weak amonst them
, what psu do you have?

Corsair TX750, it's pretty old, not a modular one.the normal check for vega is PSU, it tends to weed out the weak amonst them

Channel Well (CWT), single rail, however apparently it suffers from voltage ripple at higher load. doesn't really indicate if that is the issue though(its highly likely). try turning of your pc, flick the cards bios switch(should switch it to the lower power bios) retest. what happens?
