Vega 56 back in stock, but NOT for you

Online shops like Alternate oversold the Vega 56. Thousands are currently waiting for their ordered 56s. Therefore the majority of new produced Vega 56s won't be purchasable. Vega 56 will stay super expensive.

AmD vega 56 is shit.

No shit sherlock.

>source

this, nvidia beats it by 250%

only costs around 400 USD for each vega 56 in my country, picking up 6 of them tomorrow, going to test them out on a mix mining rig of 7 1070/ 6 Vega 56.


I guess only the US, UK and a few EU countries has issues with Vega shortage/overprice.

sell the 1070s m90 nao

Not even available yet in the Netherlands

Funny. I orderd one on release with a delivery date. Everythink semm to be fine. Alternate told me today, they do not have my Vega 56.

Who the fuck even buys reference cards?

Same. Bro .... I also ordered one and they do not have my card.

Doesn't matter, vega 56 undervolts so well it matches 1070 power consumption.

That's fine, I bought a 1080 ti because I got sick of waiting.

Best of luck to the rest of you.

Thinking of flashing my 56 to a 64 just so I can get a higher memory clock (56 is voltage locked at 1.25v).

Retarded fanboys

>vega 56 undervolts so well
Correction: some Vega 56 undervolt well.
The high stock voltage is due to some chips being poorly binned.
You cannot count on all Vega 56 chips to enjoy the same undervolting.

The same thing happened to the FuryX.
Some would crash with just a 10mhz overclock.

>Cherrypicked benchmark

Be real here, undervolted / overclocked 56 does pretty well though.

can someone tell me if theres a reason these fucking retarded companies cant make enough cards for them not to be unavailable for weeks or months after launch

i remember trying to get a 290x and could for over a month so i ended up going with nvidia

Mfw my friend complains about his PC being so hot and loud... He has a reference 1080 that runs at 83C with a 60% fan speed

and nvidia reference coolers are better than AMD in terms of build quality, design, and capability

ive had both AMD and nvidia reference cards and the AMD ones feel like theyre gonna fall apart

So AMD is usually behind and is forced to launch products too early.
So they're drivers and Stores are not ready for consumers.
That and HBM2 production is still behind
It should ramp up later this year.

So basically every AMD launch

amd pls

i remember i bought a couple 290 mining cards to crossfire after a long time of them being available and the fucking catalyst control panel was nowhere to be seen on my computer and i couldnt access it until i jumped through a million hoops to fix it. only to enable crossfire and for it to disappear again

Probably a bad TIM application.
I replaced the paste on a reference GTX 980 and it stopped close to 21C at load.

Doing the same on a factory waterblocked gtx 1080 netted a 7C drop in temps.
Pic is the gtx1080 before new TIM

This desu.
Some cards undervolt / overclock well, others don't.
My Fury Nitro can't maintain a 50mV undervolt for more than a few hours under load.

with the bios flashes and now some cards having more shaders than what was originally put for 56, those who got it for retail honestly got great deal.

Possibly, just he doesn't know anything about computers.
