Sapphire Launches Pulse Radeon RX Vega 56 Graphics Card
Sapphire over the weekend officially launched its cost-effective custom-design Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics card, the Pulse Radeon Vega 56 (model: 11276-02), which began appearing on European e-tailers late-January. The card combines a custom-design short-length PCB that's roughly the length of AMD's reference R9 Fury board; with a beefy custom-design cooling solution that features two large aluminium fin-stacks, ventilated by a pair of 100 mm double ball-bearing fans.
The card offers out of the box clock speeds of 1208 MHz core, 1512 MHz boost, and 800 MHz (1.60 GHz HBM2 effective) memory, against AMD reference clock speeds of 1138 MHz core and 1474 MHz boost. At its given clock, the memory bandwidth on offer is 409.6 GB/s. The "Vega 10" silicon is configured with 3,584 stream processors, 192 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The card draws power from a pair of 8-pin PCIe power connectors, display outputs include three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.0. Sapphire intended for this SKU to ideally occupy a close-to-reference price-point, a notch below its Nitro+ series, however in the wake of the crypto-currency wave, market-forces will decide its retail price.

I'd like to know how much OcUK pay for their cards and who is doing the gouging.
There are 1080ti's in stock as well that are slightly cheaper.
Watch as i do a magic trick! With a simple flick of the wrist, i can make this graphics card DISAPPEAR!
Watch closely! Abra Cadabra, pickary trickary - watch how miners slow a whole industry!
BAM!
Of course all of this is moot seeing how it's impossible to buy a GPU these days anyhow, but I'd like to (well, given my custom loop cooling and impending move to an ITX case, I need to) see designs like this stay around for when my Fury X starts feeling old.
While it's a cool looking card...
Who gives a shit!?
It will be 700% above retail anyway because of the Bitcoiners.
2) Cool - but look up the definition of insecurity
Just tired of you constantly spewing your vitriol here. You seriously have nothing to do but to respond to every article with your opinions and only your opinions are correct. Seriously though, you are too easy to bait and you just proved that point to me (and possibly others).
