Review: PowerColor Red Devil Vega 56 (8GB)

Review: PowerColor Red Devil Vega 56 (8GB)

We take the first custom Vega 56 board for a test spin. In this review, we take a devilish PowerColor Radeon RX Vega 56 with 8GB graphics memory for a spin. The 56 is arguably the more affordable graphics card in the Vega range.

Read the full review here.

Nice to see more reviews of the custom Vega GPU's. :)

EDIT:

At 400~450 USD



That's not too bad, what does it translate too at retailers though.
And let's see here (56 version.) one store has them listed so far from what I can tell (Not in stock though.) for...700 USD after conversion.
(Sans tax and such which in total drives it up to about 840 USD.)

Guessing the shortage and price hiking isn't going away any time soon.

Nice review though, always fun to read these. :)


EDIT: Some Sapphire 64's are listed too on a few stores between 750 to 800 Euro or 900 - 950 USD roughly.
At that point you're really going to want to look into a 1080Ti ha ha, well hopefully this will be resolved before too long.
(I mean it's only been about four months or so now since the product launched. :D Ha ha.)



EDIT: And going back to the review it seems the cooler is doing pretty good keeping thermals in check and at a slightly reduced noise level although overall performance isn't too different but it's a little bit faster than the stock 56 :)
(Though even the '56 draws a fair bit of power compared to competing products.)

And I see there's a mention of the pricing and availability situation at the final page of the review.


Wonder if there's going to be a review of the Sapphire version eventually, that should be a fun read.
(More power! Ha ha, well as long as there's a good PSU in the system I suppose that's one way to get more out of the GPU and it does have a bios switch that lowers it down a bit.)

So these and any other Vegas will be the main availability from now on then with AMD no longer making reference models available and existing supply slowly dwindling down.


Will be interesting to see what the situation looks like next year, primarily for price and availability but also if other models will be unveiled and if there's any truth to the Vega refresh GPU but then that's going to hit right into another supply and demand situation I'd imagine.

1070Ti is the rival (not old 1070(non-Ti)) of Vega56 and wins by large margin.

1080 oc 11Gbps is the true rival (not old one 10gbps) of Vega64 and wins by large margin.

Every benchmark site including us here, should take this into consideration and don't sweeten the pill for AMD. They weren't enough competitive this round. End.

Nice review by the way. Thanks.

What? :D Why they wouldn't be against the 1070 and the 1080? Because You said it? Funny guy you are. These cards are pretty good to be honest, getting close to Vega 64 and the 1080 ref.

Because I am a pro for more than 17 years I know how technology works. And these 2 gpus (1070Ti-1080(11gbps)) are from 2017 not 2016 (like the older ones) and they should be against Vega series (2017 gpus). There is no need to soothe AMD's defeat with all respect.

"1070Ti is the rival (not old 1070(non-Ti)) of Vega56 and wins by large margin."

You even lie mate. There are 13 game benchmarks here. Out of the 13, the 1070 Ti wins in 7 titles. In 6, the Vega56 wins. And you say the 1070Ti wins by large margin.... So what the heck are you talking about? " a pro for more than 17 years"...
