Best variant of RX Vega 56 8GB?

[pptx]

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,

You could just get a cheap blower card and replace the cooler with somethint from Arctic or Raijintek, those cost from $70 to $100 I think

Sapphire Nitro+ is considered the best card overall for vega 56 usually. Those are followed by the PowerColor Red Devil and the ASUS Strix cards. Those are usually considered the main 3 for vega cards.

Would that include the Pulse series from Sapphire in the vega series or would that be down the line from nitro, strix and Powercolor?

Pulse is decent but it's not a 3 fan card so it can't really be in the mix. There's nothing wrong with it though, it's a good model.

That should be easily fixable by putting two Noctua Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 2000 IP67 PWM, 4-Pin, 2000 RPM Heavy Duty Cooling Fans in place of the default fans...

Or is it not as easy to replace the default fans of Radeon cards as it is on Nvidia cards?
