@Silva a second hand Vega 56 is golden, performance wise. Even GPU compute is quite robust, if you are into that..
You can find one for 200€, even if used for mining.
Also, let's wait s bit, it's just today they released them cardz.
Maybe AMD will cut the price to ease them into the market.

So, after 3 years the only improvement we have is power consumption. Thanks AMD, that's why I bought a RX560 (no RX570 at MSRP because of mining) and waited 2 f...ing years.
Didn't have the idea the 4gb model would be punished so much from the Gamers Nexus review. At this budget level, 8gb doesn't make sense. I'll have to buy a card anyway as mine is useless, probably will have to change again in 2 years time, oh well.
@12:25 he states that delta disparity between the 4gb and 8gb was found with Shadow of the tomb raider. Stating it was mostly exclusive to Tomb Raider. He states other reasons for the disparity. At 1080p I would think that 4gb, although antiquated now, should still hold it's own.
Towards the end of the video @22:50 he also states that typically at 1080p you are not going to run into a vram issue.

I found blower Vega64 for 220€. Performance is unmatched for that price, card is almost fast as 5700. Problem is ofc heat, noise and power consumption.
