ASUS ROG-STRIX-RXVEGA56-O8G-GAMING - OC Edition - Graphics Card - Radeon RX Vega 56-8 GB HBM2 - Pcie 3.0 x16 - DVI, 2 x HDMI, 2 x DisplayPort ROG-STRIX-RXVEGA56-O8G-GAMING

Although more than one year old as a GPU at the time of my buying and having been out for 9 months or so as a 3rd party graphics card from ASUS Strix, this card is nevertheless a significant improvement for me over my previous Strix card, the RX480 8GB. That card was barely able to maintain 40fps at 1440p in demanding titles such as Total War Warhammer 2, which is the resolution of screen I have and the game I mostly play. This card easily displays 60fps at 1440p, give or take, with 16GB of slowish DDR4 RAM (2133mhz) and Ryzen 1700 at 3.8Ghz pinned across all cores. The clincher for me was the price - sub 1070ti prices for a card that will, when I want to, go past the 1070ti when OC'd and sometimes outperform it when at stock levels anyway. At the price I got it for, £389, I would certainly say this card is worth it, but it isn't always available at that price and I think I just got lucky? I was also a little bit worried about reports that Vega card had sub-optimal VRM cooling as the thermal pads on some models were not covering the VRM FETs in entirety, and the contact that there was seemed to be slight, resulting in high VRM temps and card-throttling as a result. However, none of that is in evidence on the card I got. The thermal pad looks well aligned from side-on and appears to be in full contact with the FETs across the width of the PCB, meaning that I don't experience any disagreeable temperatures and the fans run at no more than 1600-1700rpm at maximum when gaming. I am very, very pleased with my purchase. EDIT - after a little bit of GPU-Z monitoring (application which indicates what the card is doing for voltages, frequencies and temperatures), I’ve realised like many people that the VRM capacitors get hot. How hot? 100 degrees Celsius and upwards hot. Yes, HOT. However, be aware that these are 10k capacitors and are rated to 125 degrees plus, so they are designed to run that hot. It may shock some users and cause them discomfort to use a card that has components running at these temperatures. Not me. I’ll slap a water block or a Morpheus cooler on it if it gets close to limits, and I doubt that will happen. Still runs fast and quiet in any event. Just offered for full disclosure before you make your choice. EDIT - now a real bargain at the price of £310ish in Apr 19 and I modded the card with new VRM thermal pads from thermal grizzly and repasted the GPU. Card is brilliant, powerful, quiet and reliable.

Great card AFTER I replaced the thermal pad and paste. Asus managed to screw up the VRM thermal pad. It was not fully contacting any of the VRMs. With a decent thermal pad, temps are great. Fans not loud when card is setup properly with undervolting and efficient case cooling. I recommend the card to any enthusiast who is prepared to fiddle a bit. Not 5 stars due to Asus ineptitude...

Great performance and it is fited with a beefy cooler however you may want to consider useing a GPU brace as it sags a little bit. As a side note these GPUs get quite hot so keep that in mind, this will be the case with any Vega 56 so its not an issue with this product

At first this seemed fantastic. Overclocked. Lowered the voltage. Decent temps and a lot of power. Blasted through metro exodus. At the price paid it was amazing. Fan noise is fine on auto but temps get too high. J-temp or hotspot would get well over 110c. And this is with lowered voltage. A custom curve stops this but the noise changes at around 55% to become unpleasant and very noticeable beyond that. Speeds would normally sit around 64-77% to keep 77c. I thought I could put up with this but one day I thought I’ll just give up the extra frames and keep the noise lower by using all stock settings. 5 mins into the game it crashed with temps at the limit. I returned the card. I do game with headphones a lot of the time but for some games I like speakers and subwoofer so I do find fan noise important. I also find it important that a card doesn’t overheat at stock settings. I guess I’m saying that even though I could have made this card work, I shouldn’t HAVE to make this card not overheat for it to work. My case is very well cooled so maybe I just got a bad one. But with this brand and class of card this really should not happen.

Card undervolted to 1.050 and memory to 0.800 and overclocked by +100 to core and memory. All performed well when i noticed that vddc, mvvd and hotspot temperatures reaching over 100 C on latest build of Hwinfo. Asked on forums other owners and those temps are too high. Emailed Asus and they say card cant overheat cause its brand new and that Hwinfo is reporting wrong temps. Setting fans manually to 100% and temps holding at 80ish. Otherwise perfomance is at maximum as expected. Core despite uv and oc wont go above 1600Mhz. Fan noise is normal despite the weird temp readings. Too bad cause this is my first Asus product ever. Abit dissaspointed.

This amazing RX VEGA card, high quality, excellent cooling, very nice looking. If you have a small case check before buying as it's rather large GPU but really good one.

fantastic card runs very cool and fans only spin up when the card gets hot. needs 2 8 pin power conections

I'm a bit of an ASUS fan boy. I've owned both a Strix RX480 and a Dual GTX 1060 6GB, both great GPU's. So I bought the ASUS Strix RX VEGA 56 without doing proper research. I had heard rumours of early STRIX VEGA cards having high VRM temperatures, but I thought that ASUS would have this fixed now over a year after launch. This Strix Vega 56 had the potential to be a the best Vega 56 GPU on the market. The only issue is an undersized thermal pad on the VRMs. When using the stock "Balanced" profile in AMD Wattman and running a taxing benchmark or game the VRM temperature would reach a toasty 100 Deg C (Measured in GPUz). Whilst this is nowhere near the maximum temperature for the VRM modules it is a little too toasty for my liking, and would only get worse if increasing the power slider to + 50%. Undervolting only improved the issue slightly as the power draw through the VRMs roughly remained the same. The good news is, that the fix is easy enough, a Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 8 20 x 120 x 3mm from Overclockers UK fits properly. This and some fresh thermal paste and the VRM temps now never top 90 degrees. Thank you Boomstick777 over on the Overclockers UK forum. Still the fix shouldn't have been needed. To save yourself the trouble look for the Sapphire Radeon RX Vega 56 Nitro+ as that card has no issues at all

Habe die AMD RX Vega 56 für unter 350€ erstanden und bin voll zu frieden. Kühlung von Asus funktioniert einwandfrei, großteil der Zeit sind die Lüfter ausgeschalten und leise. Spieleleistung ist auch zufriedenstelled (für 350€), sollte genügend Power für die nächste Zeit haben, bis hoffentlich wieder Mainstream GPUs mit guten P/L Verhältniss auf den Markt kommen. LEDs sind eine nette Draufgabe.

El rendimiento de esta gráfica me ha sorprendido gratamente. Realizándose un leve Undervolt de unos 50mv en el core y subiendo la frecuencia de las memorias HBM unos 100mhz (todo en el programa del Wattman de AMD), rinde a un nivel entre una 1070 y una 1080 llegando a alcanzar a la 1080 en apis como Vulkan o Directx 12. La verdad es que me ha sorprendido muchísimo. Eso sí, el que la compre deberá configurar un poco los voltajes para sacarle el rendimiento oculto que tiene esta gráfica si la dejas de stock sin tocar voltajes se queda a un nivel similar al de la 1070. El único "pero" que le encuentro es que el "Coil Whine" es un pelín fuerte debido al alto voltaje que le llega. Aunque este fenómeno por desgracia va en crecimiento porque una GTX 1080 que tengo hace hasta más ruido que esta....

Che dire, scheda perfetta! Non riscalda e non consuma, appena è arrivata è stata undervoltata e overclockata con temperature bassisime (full load 65 gradi 215 Watt) e in gioco normale 43-44-58 gradi. In 1080p oltre i 240 fps garantiti e in 1440p oltre i 144 fps . In 4k va a 60 fps prestando attenzione e cura ai dettagli grafici (del resto si fa in tutte le risoluzioni, evitando effetti grafici inutili). Consiglio d'acquisto esagerato, ma compratela dopo il 7 luglio causa schede video nuove= abbassamento dei prezzi per le precedenti schede video. P.S.: Se dovete comprare navi non lo consiglio, niente custom al day one, quindi aspettate.

Harika bir ürün. Sessiz ve serin. Çok güç çekiyor o da ayrı bir detay. Tek koldan 250w veren bir poweriniz yok ise iki kablo çekmeniz gerekecek.

Wie gewohnt war der Versand sehr schnell und die GraKa war sehr ordentlich verpackt. Nun zum wesentlichen. Die Rx Vega 56 ist im Vergleich mit den meisten günstigen High End GraKas einfach unschlagbar. Ich konnte bisher nichts negatives feststellen. Selbst nach ca. 2 Stunden Battlefield V auf Ulrta Einstellungen bleibt die karte konstant bei ca 54Grad. Da Battlefield momentan eines der Anspruchvollsten Spiele auf dem Markt ist, ist dass ne ordentliche Elitung der RX Vega. Auf von der lautstärke her kann ich ncht meckern, aber mein Tower steht eh unterm Schreibtisch. Das einzige Manko ist, die Asus Arez Strix Vega 56 ist riesig. Un d wenn ich riesig sage, dann meine ich das auch so. Mein gehäuse geht nämlich nicht mehr zu. Da werde ich mir wohl noch etwas einffallen lassen müssen.
