AMD Radeon RX VEGA 56 8GB Graphics Card Review

Acoustic, Thermal and Power Testing


Acoustic Performance

It will come as no surprise that as our only reference cooler car, it’s also one of the loudest. It’s noticeable and has that classic hair dryer sound associated with a blower type card. Of course, if you fit an aftermarket block or cooler, this is the best model to get as you’re not paying for 3rd party cooling hardware you don’t need or want.

Thermal Performance

Temperatures are very good, especially given the cooler design. I could comfortably reduce that fan speed a little. However, I can’t wait to see a big cooler model from the likes of Sapphire or ASUS in the near future.

Power Usage

As expected, the card is a little power hungry concerning its performance. It uses more power than the GTX 1060, and obviously less than the GTX 1080. However, It’s more efficient than the RX 580 series, and hammers that card regarding performance, and a lot less power needed compared to the Fury X. Overall, lower power requirements and more performance from the AMD camp.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
