Should I buy it?

[ReaLvoiD]

Hey Guys, 

 

I`m looking to buy a new GPU, I`ve seen some local deals for Vega 56/64 cards and wanted to know if I should buy one (if yes which one?) now or wait for 1660/Vega2 for even more price dump? I want to play in 2k and maybe 4k60 with settings turned down. I want to LC the new GPU so I`m not so sure about Vega cards..

 

1. Gigabyte Vega 64 (Blower warranty 1y) - 310$ / 2. XFX Vega 64 (Blower warranty 1y) - 321$

3. Msi Radeon Vega 56 (Blower  warry1y) 300$  4. PowerColor Vega 56 (Blower warranty 1y) 260$ or 270$ for the Sapphire one

pricing of Vega 64 cards are really good atm. as long as you dont mind the noise of the stock cooler id go for it. 

 

they are all stock board designs. EK waterblocks will be easy to get a hold off

Grab the Gigabyte Vega, as it is a very good deal and what not.

i'd just get a 2060, unless you have a freesync monitor

What for? 2060 costs round 420$ in my area, and I don`t see why the 2060 would be worth 100$+.. maybe for the 6GB vRam or the amazing RayTracing?

it's faster than a vega 64, almost as fast as a 2070, and it's not used with a blower fan.

benchmarks are all over youtube. it basically makes the 2070, vega 56, 64 bad value, they probably made the 2060 a tad too good.

 Everything that I'm seeing is showing them being pretty similar in 1080p, but the Vega 64 overtakes the 2060 pretty dramatically in 1440p and 4K.

  

Considering the cost, the Vega 64 is a much better option.

 Sure it's a blower, blower doesn't always mean bad, just means loud and not as cool as it could be. 

  

I`ve seen similar results, thats why I wanted a source. I`m going to LC it anyaway so it doesn`t really bother me,
