I'm considering upgrading from my rx580 to a vega 56, currently I have a EVGA 500 80 plus power supply. Would this be enough to run a vega 56 safely?

500w is enough to power a stock Vega, but I won't use that PSU model to power anything I intend to keep. It's crap.

yes, i just wouldn't push it too far. if you want to do serious gaming e.g. 4k or ultra settings then i would replace the psu for a higher efficiency and higher wattage psu. something like a corsair rm650x.
