Vega 56 woes (SOLVED)

Glad you have your problem sorted as the feeling of being conned by someone weighs heavily on you.

Nice to hear positive news these days. Happy gaming Nikolaos.

Thank you sir!

Glad you got it sorted.

I also bought a used Vega 56 (Sapphire Pulse) but had zero problems.

Fantastic card, wish I never sold it.

Out of curiosity, are you running it now with the splitter or two cables?

I ran mine with a splitter the whole time I had it!

Hi,

I bought a used Vega 56 and am suffering since. Gaming is impossible for more than 20 minutes at a time, as the computer crashes. Temps seem fine.

Crashes vary in type.

Sometimes I get a black screen but the pc continues working (I can hear music in the background) for a few seconds before it resets.
Sometimes I get a black screen but the whole PC freezes while I hear a "bad" sounds and I have to turn it off manually.
Sometimes I get a blue screen.
And worst of all, sometimes I get a black screen and gpu fans go full Boeing 747 mode and I have to kill power manually.

Temps do not seem to be an issue.

I tried undervolting, I tried older drivers, I tried turning off hardware acceleration in browsers, I tried driver verifier.

Did I get duped? I hope not. Many people seem to be reporting the same issues with Vegas and AMD drivers.

Any advice?

which power supply which cpu? which res what framerate...

Still using a splitter.
I wanted to first try the drivers and if it hadn't worked, then I would have tried the two cables.

If the card runs like this for another month, I will try overclocking or even updating to vega64 bios.

Get two separate feeds to the power sockets. Do this before any overclocking/undervolting.
