    Gigabyte Radeon Rx Vega 56 Gaming OC 8G Graphic Card - GV-RXVEGA56GAMING OC-8GD

    Key Features

    Windforce 2X Cooling System

    The WINDFORCE 2X cooling system features two 100mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning fan design, pure copper composite heat-pipes direct touch GPU, angular fin design, semi-passive 3D active fan, advanced copper back plate with heat-pipe,together delivering an effective heat dissipation capacity for higher performance at lower temperatures.

    Heat Pipe Direct Touch GPU

    The pure copper heat pipes are shaped to maximize the direct contact area to the GPU for enhanced thermal transfer.

    Unique Blade Fan Design

    The airflow is spilt by the triangle fan edge, and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface, effectively enhancing the air flow.

    3D Active Fan

    The 3D Active Fan provides semi-passive cooling, the fans will remain off when the GPU is under a set loading or temperature for low power gaming. It allows gamers to enjoy gameplay in complete silence when the system is running light or idle.

    Alternate Spinning Fan Design

    Optimize air flow by the alternate spinning fans that reduce air turbulence and effectively dissipate the heat.

    Angular Fin Design

    The angular and unequal fins height does not only channel the airflow through the fins and enlarge the contact surface but also results in a lower noise level and better cooling capacity.

    Installed the card and installed the July 30th 2019 drivers from AMD. Ran PassMark GPU benchmark and scored over 14k!!! This is on par with an RTX 2070. Went on to the Fire strike Benchmark and scored 23,425 which is better than the average RTX 2070 and RTX 2060 Super! Out of the box with no tuning the card runs at 1575mhz to 1600mhz under load.No Crashing issues and very smooth gameplay.Unfortunately, the coil whine is AWFUL and is audible from across the room, I will be exchanging the card for this reason. Hopefully the replacement will be without the whine. The fans are a little noisy but they keep the GPU hotspot under 80 and the clock rate stays up.Otherwise this card is tuned very well from Gigabyte and offers gaming performance on par with an RTX 2070. Great Value for sure.Update, the new card has a minimal amount of coil whine when running benchmark tests only. No audible whine while gaming. New card also boosted to 1649 mhz core out of the box and runs between 1575mhz to 1600mhz. Card is tuned exceptionally well out of the box and with minimal effort I get 1700+ mhz.

    High quality graphics card. It could really get up there in fan speed and it stayed cool. The only problem with it is the graphics drivers you have to run on it are dogshit. I left everything default after installation, tested Forza Horizon 4, warcraft, and GTA 5. Everything crashed within 10 minutes of playing. I uninstalled drivers, reinstalled older ones, and then it could'nt even load the games. I came from a gtx 1060 and I put it back in the computer and returned this within 5 hours of messing with drivers and regedit. Total waste of time going AMD. Never again.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Be sure to flash the bios!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2019
    Style: GV-RXVEGA56GAMING OC-8GDVerified Purchase
    Be sure to flash to the F5 BIOS! I repeat, be sure to flash to the F5 BIOS. Both the 56 and 64 Gaming OC cards were plagued with stability issues on release, but Gigabyte released a BIOS revision that fixed the issues with stability. Both the Gigabyte Vega 56 and 64 Gaming OCs require the updated BIOS to run smoothly (F5 BIOS for the Vega 56 and F2 BIOS for the Vega 64). Its just a shame that its up to the end user to do the flashing. But once you get past the minor inconvenience, you end up with a great performing graphics card!

    Head to techpowerup and download ATIflash then head over to Gigabyte's official product page for your graphics card and click the support button to get the new BIOS. Run ATIflash as administrator, click the load button and select the BIOS rom that you just downloaded, then click Program. Wait about 5 seconds for the flash to complete then reboot your computer. That is all there is to it!

    I had Samsung memory on my Vega 56 so I was able to flash the Vega 64 BIOS to the card. I'm now running a rock solid 1720MHz on the core and 1120MHz on the HBM at 1000mV and 50% power limit. I couldn't be happier with this card!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Bit of Coil Whine When Doing Calculations
    Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    It handles high intensity activities in games like a champ with no frame loss or tearing (when used with freesync). I use it with a 4790k processor and it runs World of Warcraft at max with 60-144fps consistently on 1440p.

    Something I notice though, is that when doing calculations (not necessarily graphical calculations but just number crunching) it will develop a slight coil whine and draw so much power that it started to trip my 600W UPS. I upgraded to a 1500W UPS and this wasn't a problem anymore, but it does still whine. No major heat issues, but I also don't overclock or run anything more taxing that WoW or CK2 usually.

    I dont know why others had issue with theirs. I received mine, worked oob and undervolting was a breeze. I did a fps limiter in the Adrenaline software at 144Hz for gaming to match my monitors refresh rate and the card never hits 70C. and most of the time is under 60C so the fans dont even spin.

    I am very satisfied with this card and its performance. With a 144Hz Freesync monitor this is a joy to game on.

    I think people just plug it in and go instead of doing some research. Getting these cards to run cool and quiet is not hard. Takes 5 minutes and there are a ton of videos on it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great card, but overclocked??
    Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Card works great and have had no issues so far (2 months). I have this in a crossfire with a stock vega 64 and crossfire
    works fine when supported. Another review mentioned coil whine, but neither of my vega 64 cards have ever suffered from
    this, nor have I seen it with other reviews or cards (unlike some fury cards). Card runs cool and works fine for gaming.
    (running wow at 4k with everything turned on, although wow is harder on the cpu). My only complaint is the OC moniker.
    The only review I found before I bought this was one from right after launch. The review was positive, but the OC was much
    higher in the review. Seems there were some stability issues if not enough airflow in cases (running on bleeding edge), so
    bios 2.0 reduced the clocks. Considering the very weak overclock, what you wind up with is just a quieter card than stock.
    I'd rather have had a 2 slot card with a little noise, but those seem few and far between, and are many times more expensive
    than this 2.5 slot card. Had to take out my firewire card to make room for it (older hd camcorder).

    There's a lot of negative reviews for this card. I guess I got lucky and got a stable one. Gave me a really nice, cheap improvement from my GTX 970 which was really struggling with my recent upgrade to 1440p. Picked this over the 1660 ti because many benchmark charts were showing this card edges it out. My first AMD card and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. No issues with crashing after testing both Apex Legends and BF5. Radeon software isn't too bad either...pretty similar to GeForce Experience. I went from 50 FPS in Apex on my 970 to 120+. Plus the FreeSync is really nice...something I haven't been able to use since getting my FreeSync monitor.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Funciona excelente con Undervolt
    Reviewed in Mexico on April 1, 2020
    Style: GV-RXVEGA56GAMING OC-8GDVerified Purchase
    La tarjeta es buenísima estando stock, pero viene con sobrevoltaje igual que su hermana la Vega 64, es por eso que se ganaron la mala fama de consumir mucha energía y sobre calentarse. La solución es hacerle undervolt con el propio software de AMD, por defecto viene a 1.2v y la Vram a 0.950v a 800mhz. Un undervolt casi ideal es bajarle el voltaje a 1.05v y la Vram a 0.800-0.850v y subir la frecuancia a 0.900-0.920mhz, con eso estará trabajando optimamente llegando a rendir como una RTX 2060. Ya si quieren hacerle overclock para que rinda mas, pues es su decisión.

    This is the budget 2k graphic card for me. Bought this gpu for 29000₹ one month ago and its working great for me.
    1. Average 100 fps in AAA games like Hitman 2, Battlefield 1,etc on 1440p High Settings.
    2. There are some fps drops (5-15) though but overall its a great budget gpu.
