    One of the best things about this is FreeSync

    🙂

      Freesync lets me play 4k ultra games on my V56 without feeling sluggish at <60fps

      (eg Rise of the Tomb Raider)

  • Ostrk on 03/12/2018 - 22:13

    I'd recommend anyone buying this to consider buying an aftermarket GPU cooler too.

    • EnALup on 03/12/2018 - 22:15

      Are they easy to fit and approx cost for a good one?

      • Ostrk on 03/12/2018 - 22:22

        First of all I think you should use the card as is, don't buy anything until you know that it certainly bothers you enough.
        Well I think the hardest part would be applying all the tiny heatsinks for the ram and stuff. You'd have to make sure the heatsink was the right size for each chip. After that applying the cooler itself would be just like applying a normal GPU cooler I guess.
        Generally you should look at arctic cooling, something like this :

  • EnALup on 03/12/2018 - 22:15

    Wow. that is a great price. Not sure about warranty for Amazon US items. Free Sync is definitely a plus.
    Approx $565 after cashback ( which takes couple of months).
    Only downside I see is the blower addition taken AMD cards emit lot of heat. EVGA 2070 was Approx 140 extra and not sure if worth the extra dollar spent.

    • Sopzo on 03/12/2018 - 23:51

      Couple of months for what? Shopback cashback?

    • Major Mess on 04/12/2018 - 15:15

      Winter is coming, the blower is an advantage.

      • EnALup on 04/12/2018 - 15:29

        Summers just started….

        • Major Mess on 04/12/2018 - 16:07

          Exactly, winter is coming.

    It appears that RX Vega stock on the way out and doesn't look like there's going to be any stock replenishment. Amazon USA is mostly out of stock and so is Newegg..

    If you really, really want a Vega card you should probably buy this now rather than wait.

    but if you're not hung up on Freesync you should probably buy a Nvidia card. The vega 64 throws power efficiency out the window for raw performance and it heats up my PC so much the side panel of my Fractal design case is about 50 degrees celsius.

    • EnALup on 03/12/2018 - 22:26

      O dear. I take it that along with heat, PC is drawing more power as well.
      Getting too confused with card pricing now and cancelled my EVGA 2070 black purchase from Amazon for approx 762 ( $708 after cashback) and waiting for new AMD cards or better pricing.

    • Ostrk on 03/12/2018 - 22:27

      Have you considered buying aftermarket coolers like the ones I listed above?

      • scrimshaw on 03/12/2018 - 22:28

        Mine is a Gigabyte Windforce model which I paid $639 for, so adding an extra $100 or so for a Raijintek Morpheus2 cooler pretty much throws the 'price/value' ratio out the window.

        The cooling on it is okay. However, the heat output is just as fierce. It matters not how much fan or aluminium fins the card has, all the heat generated accumulates in the case so you'll have to also upgrade case cooling, or switch to a mesh style case.

        • Ostrk on 03/12/2018 - 22:29

          Oh I assumed you had the stock blower one. Strange that even the windforce one gets so hot.

        • EnALup on 03/12/2018 - 22:30

          Why AMD Vega stock is getting no more new stock. Is it due to the new cards?

          • scrimshaw on 03/12/2018 - 22:35
            +2

            @EnALup: I'm guessing it's because the profit margins are declining on these items. People paid lots of money during the crypto boom, but now crypto is over so the prices of Vega sharply decreased.

            AMD Vega uses HBM2 stacked memory which is pretty expensive so the cost of these cards remained high while the market prices continue to slide.

            Hwnexus talked about the price of HBM memory in this article.

            TLDR - Vega cards — too damn expensive to keep making. Other cards which use GDDR5 memory is much cheaper and more profitable.

            • EnALup on 03/12/2018 - 23:04

              @scrimshaw: Thanks. That makes sense.
              Performance of these are below 2070. Taken heat and power consumption, I think 2070 would be a good upgrade. Only downside being missing on Freesync.

        • Major Mess on 04/12/2018 - 15:17

          Yep, puts it into RTX 2070 territory, plus you get a cooler running unit with a lot lower power usage.

    • jasswolf on 04/12/2018 - 00:42

      No luck with undervolting?

  • [Deactivated] on 03/12/2018 - 22:23

    Anyone who buys a cheap Vega card make sure you look into undervolting it. Will take about 30s to do. Very easy. Very safe. Use a bit less power and run cooler but you'll actually get more performance

    • jtb on 03/12/2018 - 22:42

      is undervolting the card possible on Macs? I intending on using this in an TB3 enclosure on my mac book pro.

      • [Deactivated] on 04/12/2018 - 13:44

        No idea sorry but in windows it's done in the driver software and I can't see why that would be any different in MacOS

      • Major Mess on 04/12/2018 - 15:17

        Buy a real computer.

    Thanks Op, missed out on the cheap ebay vega 56 deals because they were 'out of stock', so this is good timing.

    Also note that the above is the OC model.

  • petry on 03/12/2018 - 22:42

    it only costs this much courtesy of the lib import tax - which is why they still cost so much here….market protections in technology are anti competitive.

    pollies don't care about Australian business

    Just noticed that if you buy from the US store you get a coupon for 3 games (Tom Clancy’s The Division® 2, Resident Evil™ 2, Devil May Cry™ 5). Costs a bit more (US$457.22 - mentions it just before you commit to the order) but might be worth while for some.

    I've contacted Amazon US (seller) via amazon.com.au to see if we will get the coupon here.

  • lazaroth1711 on 04/12/2018 - 15:43

    its out of stock now but newegg has a similar deal for a sapphire vega 64 $600 free shipping.
    https://www.newegg.com/global/au-en/Product/Product.aspx?Ite…

    I bought one during the black friday sales when i thought it was on sale, a bit annoyed the price is still the same. But I did get an extra $30 off from the coupon.

    • EnALup on 04/12/2018 - 18:38

      How is warranty from newegg.
      Can Vouch for amazon.

      • lazaroth1711 on 04/12/2018 - 22:10

        dunno, first time buying from them

    • jtb on 04/12/2018 - 21:53

      that's excl GST. GST inclusive price is $658.90.

      Also that's for the non OC model unlike what was being offered by Amazon.

        i swear it was 550 ex gst a couple of hours ago

          Indeed it was.

        • EnALup on 04/12/2018 - 23:11

          I checked when you posted and it was $658 as well after taxes. There are 2 prices shown in AU$

        • jtb on 05/12/2018 - 22:38

          Sorry, someone's having fun on the other end toying with us :)

          update 23:34 back to GST-Inclusive Price of AUD$598.40 for anyone who missed out on the MSI deal
