Vega 56
2 of 2 found this helpful Product received was as described. Was a bit dusty but this was stated in the item description. This card is a power hog and requires 2x 8 pin connectors. Nvidia has it beat in this section. I bought this before CES announcements and Nvidia will start to support Freesync monitors. This makes the newly announced GTX2060 much more appealing. The 2060 is rated above the 1070 and Vega 56 and also features Raytracing, which is a huge hit on FPS when used and not really great on a 2060 in which case you should wait for the GTX 1160 if you have patience. But we have yet to hear AMDs response, in which we are hoping for the Navi announcement which may bring the Vega 56/1070 performance at a much lower cost. Overall the Vega 56 is a good card and definitely performs well. I have undervolted and overclocked my card which is highly recommended for any one looking into the Vega series.
