Graphics Cards

[marcus_lee]

I am confused in chosing graphic cards. Please tell me about the difference between Rx 580 and Rx Vega 56. Which is better?

Rx 580 is a great 1080p and entry level 1440p card. Vega 56 is geared to being a high end 1440p card and entry level 4k card.  It really depends on the resolution you want to run and at what refresh rate. If you are a casual gamer @ 1080p and game at 75hz or lower the RX 580 is the best bang for the buck card going. It requires some tinkering to get stable in some cases as does the Vega.

Expect the vega 56 to be about 33% faster in game than the RX 580 in a stock vs stock setting. (I have both the rx580 and Vega 56). Overclocking the vega 56 and flashing a vega 64 bios onto it really starts to make the vega 56 shine. I got my rx580 used for $100 and my vega 56 used for $230, steer away from the Gigabyte gaming OC version of these cards. Its the card I bought used (for parts or not working) luckily it's under warranty and just sent mine back a few days ago for a RMA.

Vega 56 is a good 50% faster than the RX 580.

and is way more expensive. Worth noting to you will need a much higher wattage power supply to run the Vega also, so figure that into your budget too.
