AMD drops price on Radeon RX Vega 56 to Battle GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

AMD drops price on Radeon RX Vega 56 to Battle GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

As the title says, AMD is lowering the price on their Radeon RX Vega 56 to Battle GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. Starting today you'll see prices in the £249 / 285 EUR ranges for that still pretty dandy graphics card. You get three games as well.

These discounts could be regional, so I am not certain where on the globe it will take proper effect. Here's a press release: 

Gamers looking for the best performance in today’s most popular AAA titles, from Apex Legends to Tom Clancy's The Division 2, need look no further than theAMD Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics card. Offering high-end performance and incredible features with an attractive price tag, the GPU is now available from £249 on eBuyer and OCUK.

Today’s top titles require increasing amounts of memory to deliver the performance, hyper-realistic settings and life-like characters gamers demand. With 8GB of HBM2 memory, the RX Vega 56 is purpose-built to power the most demanding titles. Harnessing the advanced AMD Vega GPU architecture, the RX Vega 56 also features:

  • Rapid Packed Math doubles the rate of compute to allow for faster physics and compute calculations on RX Vega GPUs.
  • Shader Intrinsics allow direct game-to-hardware access on RX Vega cards to extract more performance from the GPU.
  • Radeon FreeSync display technology brings an end to choppy gameplay and broken frames with fluid, artifact-free performance at virtually any framerate, while FreeSync 2 HDR ensures low-latency, high-brightness pixels and a wide color gamut to High Dynamic Range (HDR) content for PC displays. 

Further sweetening the deal, with AMD’s Raise the Game Fully Loaded bundle,

Gamers who purchase a Radeon RX Vega 56 or eligible Radeon RX Vega 56 powered PC will receive complimentary PC versions of Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry 5 and Tom Clancy's The Division 2, three of 2019’s most anticipated titles.

True, but if reduced some competition and price pressure. Will be interesting to see 1660 results and prices. I need to upgrade from 970 and price point has been too high up to now. Been waiting forever it seems =, shame navi looks like late summer.

I think that's a good move, Vega 56 is a nice card with nice performance for those who look to upgrade from older generations like 290X - like in my case. Maybe Vega 64 will see a price drop also sometime soon, who knows. I'm looking to buy one of them so hoping this price cut will take effect in my region...
