Vega 56 Sapphire Review

Radeon rx vega 56 is the second amd vega card launched today.

Vega 56 sapphire review. As far as we ve seen it s the best cooled rx vega 56 out there. Launching today is the sapphire nitro version of both vega parts. The saphire vega 56 is fast quiet and has no coil whine. And it s a cute little card.

We ve got the rx vega 56 for review which retails for a cool 569. Although the card uses a lot of power kicks out quite a bit of heat. Unfortunately it s also difficult to find as the company. Here we see that total system usage has been dropped by almost 40 with the 5600 xt that s obviously a huge power saving so.

For example power efficiency now trades blows with some pascal cards which means less heat and noise too. Vega 56 was a power pig and navi has gone a long way to correct that. Sapphire s nitro rx vega 56 8g is a distinctly high end implementation. Uk pricing isn t confirmed but a simple conversion plus 20.

It comes at an affordable 399 price point with a slightly reduced shader count that actually improves things greatly. Radeon rx vega 56 has the potential to be a geforce gtx 1070 killer if amd can make enough of them to hit its pricing target.
