Hi, i have a quick question about my video card and psu. I have an rx vega 56 and when gaming without fps cap it has alot of coil whine. Now i read somewhere online that it might be your psu, i have an corsiar cx650m psu and personally dont think it is the problem. Would it help to use two seperete 8 pin cables or is it ok to use on split 8 pin cable?

I woke up early to grab Vega 56 at 9:00e for it's release. At 9:02 I saw it on Amazon and it was sold out by the time I clicked the link. Fml all I want is to take advantage of freesync. All I could do was put some money towards one that they'll "ship once it's in stock", and they didn't give a timeline. Has anyone had any luck?

Hey guys, I'm going to buy a Ryzen 7 3700X when it will be available in my country (Germany). So far, I have everything except the CPU and a GPU. For the GPU, I will buy an AMD RX Vega 56, one of the custom designs (5700 series is not worth the money imo). My concern now is, should I wait till I buy the CPU and buy the GPU then, or should I just buy it now? I think the stock of the custom Vega 56 cards is getting smaller every day, many models are already not available like the ASUS and Sapphire Nitro+ custom cards, and when they are, they are ridiculously priced. The only available cards, which I would consider, are the Sapphire Pulse and maybe the PowerColor Red Dragon. So what do you guys think?

Hey guys, I'm planning to build a new pc with the following specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ AMD RX Vega 64 or Sapphiere Nitro+ AMD RX Vega 56 MOBO: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK AMD B450 So.AM4 Dual Channel DDR ATX Retail RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX black DDR4-3200 DIMM CL16 Dual Kit CPU-Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock PRO 4 SSD: 500GB Crucial MX500 2.5" (6.4cm) SATA 6Gb/s 3D-NAND TLC (CT500MX500SSD1) Case: Cooler Master MasterCase H500 Mesh PSU: 750 Watt Corsair TX-M Series TX750M Modular 80+ Gold As you can see, I'm not sure yet, if I should choose the better CPU or the better GPU, I can't choose both! I have about 100 Euros left, so that's why I can only buy one higher end item. So far, I think I will buy the better CPU, since I saw a higher fps gain in games (on youtube) with the CPUs when compared with the GPUs. I mainly use my pc for gaming, but I also use programms like photoshop quite often, but I don't care if I could save 10 seconds for exporting an image with buying a more expensive CPU. When it comes to games, I play on 1080p so it may sound overkill but it isn't - any game which is moddable, for example Skyrim, Fallout 4 or GTA 5 - I mod them to the maximum - Hundreds of 4K Textures, scriptheavy mods, massive ENBs and so on (and from experience a standard 1080p gaming setup isn't enough for that. I'm also planning to buy a 144Hz Monitor in the future,so a bit more performance is crucial).So far, my plan is to wait for a month, for the release of Ryzen Gen 3, hoping that the R5 or R7 CPU (or mabye GPU) prices will drop, that I can save some money. Are there any speculations about how much the prices will drop, when they will, does anyone has some experience with this? Buying one of the new Gen 3 CPU will be too expensive at launch am I right? And what about the new GPUs, they use GDDR6 instead of HBM2, so they should be a bit cheaper then the Vega line (that's what I heard), but still more expensive because they are the newest and a bit better, right? I don't really know what do to right now, any help is appreciated! Also, will the airflow be okay? The case has 2x 200mm fans in the front and 1x 120mm at the rear and I will use the be quiet! Dark Rock PRO 4 tower cooler. Is it nessecary to buy more fans as an exhaust or is it enough?

I've decided to go with the RX Vega 56 8GB instead of the RTX 2060, and am just wondering which variant is best. Its just that I've heard negative things about some of the card's cooling and voltage, but I don't want to spend significantly more for the best variant. What are your opinions? Thanks,

Hi! I'm considering doing a gpu upgrade. I currently use a 1080p 144mhz monitor, but want to change to a 1440p monitor in the future. So I'm considering 2 options: 1. ASUS Radeon RX Vega 56 ROG Strix OC - 395$ 2. ASUS GeForce RTX 2060 ROG Strix OC (you get FarCry New Dawn and Anthem included in the purchase) - 475$ (prices are higher in my country then compered to the US) I want to spend as little money as possible, but if it's worth paying more for the rtx 2060, i'm willing to use 475$, but that is kinda my limmit. My current specs are: MSI Gtx 970 i5-3470 with 8gb 1333mhz ram I know my cpu is getting old, but I cant afford doing and gpu and cpu upgrade. Would an rtx 2060 or Vega 56 be a terrible match with the i5-3470? Will a bottleneck just give me less fps or would it give me framedrops?? Thanks for all answers!

I have a Xilence performance c 600w PSU. Is it compatible with the RX Vega 56 GPU or a 1070 Ti? Looking to upgrade my lovely GTX 1050 Ti

AMD options only (Freesync 144hz) For reference, here is my work in progress build. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rssyFt So I wanted to build a PC that would be really high quality but at the same time bang for its buck. One things I am not sure about is the price of GPUs as related to market demands as well as to performance. I really wanted to get the RX vega 56, but am not sure if the extra $150 is worth it. TLDR I just want some info on the AMD graphics card market (besides only knowing bitcoin mining is becoming less popular) . + some info about comparison of mid range AMD graphics cards.
