RX Vega 56 benchmark with i7-7700K 1080p, 1440p, Ultrawide, 4K benchmarks at Ultra Quality
It is clear that the RX Vega 56 is a significantly more capable high-end card that can play AAA titles at 1080p/1440p with 50-60 frames per second. It is worth noting that the RX Vega 56 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RX Vega 56 's 8192 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. In short the performance is exceptional, there's no question that this is one of the most powerful single GPU out there in 2025 .
The release year of the graphics card. The newer the better technology and performance optimization and

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.
The RX Vega 56 sits between the GTX 1070 Ti and the GTX 1660 Ti, falling slower than GTX 1070 Ti by 2.4% and faster than GTX 1660 Ti by 1.6%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. Its results are actually indistinguishable from those of the GTX 1070 Ti. It is a close call between the RX Vega 56 and its rival GTX 1070 Ti by a small margin.
The RX Vega 56 sits between the RX Vega 64 and the GTX 1660, falling slower than RX Vega 64 by 2.2% and faster than GTX 1660 by 1.4%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. Its results are actually indistinguishable from those of the RX Vega 64. Against its rival - the GTX 1070 Ti, the RX Vega 56 is much slower.

Rx580 or vega 56 or gtx 1070I will buy a new gaming pc in march with a ryzen 7 2700, but i dont know which graphics card should i buy. In my country i can get the rx 580 around 120k ft, the vega 56 around 185k ft, and a gtx 1070 about 150-160k ft. Which should I buy? I already have my monitor, it supports freesync. (75hz, 1080x2560 resolution)

If you want to use freesync you would have to go for either of the amd cards. you could get a vega 56 but its a pricey and can draw quite a lot of power than a 1070, which give almost similar performance which run much cooler with a third party cooler. So you would be good with the gtx 1070 and save some bucks for some of performance and there are cases where the gtx 1070 outperforms the vega 56,and you could overclock it to get vega like performance but or if that isn't the case you don't mind the extra power draw and heat, and want to make use of the free sync you can surely go for the vega 56. The rx 580 doesn't come anywhere these two so it is out if the question.Check this link out for comparison of two cards at stock and overclocked- http://blog.logicalincrements.com/2017/08/rx-vega-56-vs-gtx-1070-gtx-1080/

Should I buy the RX Vega 56 over the GTX 1070?I'll be building a new rig in a few weeks. For a few days, I've been having trouble deciding on which graphics card I want to get. For a while, I was decided that I'd go with the 1070, but then I realized that Vega 56 performs just as well or better while offering Freesync, which my monitor does offer. For some reason, I still can't decide whether or not I should go for the Vega 56. Should I?

On much smaller case blower type cooler is better due to heat being dump outside the case directly. But on much bigger case "open air" cooler usually end up being better. Also noise. Those blower type cooler can be very loud when the fan speed start ramping up.
What to Consider Before Buying a Graphics Card
If you have been planning to upgrade your system by purchasing a new graphics card. Then there are some important factors to consider.
Resolution VS Quality: Impact on Game Performance
What affects game performance? Clarity or Details?
Ultra VS High Quality Settings in PC Games
Every player has a different notion about the ideal setting for PC games. But in most cases, opting for a High quality graphics configuration is the way to go.
What are CPU or GPU Bottlenecks?
Are you getting sudden frame drops? you might have a bottleneck.
What is the acceptable FPS speed for me?
For some games, you can still enjoy great garphics at lower frame rates.
