The RX Vega 64 might be the high-end flagship of the latest GCN 5.0 set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the RX Vega 56 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 399. AMD ’s xx56 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the GCN 5.0 graphics card inside the RX Vega 56, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.
Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, GTX 1070 Ti, the RX Vega 56 was -5.1 % slower. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Baldur's Gate 3, Armored Core VI, Borderlands 3, F1 22, Anthem at 62 fps to 68 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps.
For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, GreedFall, Death Stranding, Spider-Man Remastered, F1 2019 at 61 fps to 70 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 67 fps. For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Overwatch 2, Valorant at 67 fps to 141 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 104 fps.
For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Hogwarts Legacy, A Plague Tale: Requiem, Dead Space, God of War, Forza Horizon 5 at 61 fps to 72 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 69 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, God of War, Forza Horizon 5, Metro Exodus, Assassin's Creed Odyssey at 61 fps to 66 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 63 fps.
For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Strange Brigade, Resident Evil 2, Far Cry New Dawn, Spider-Man Remastered, Far Cry 5 at 62 fps to 66 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps.
