Gigabyte Radeon RX Vega 56 Gaming OC 8GB GV-RXVEGA56GAMING-OC-8GD
The WINDFORCE 2X cooling system features two 100 mm unique blade fans, alternate spin fan design, pure copper composite heat-pipes Direct-Touch-GPU, angular rib design, semi-passive 3D active fan, advanced copper back plate with heat-pipe that together provide effective heat dissipation for higher performance at lower temperatures. The pure copper heatpipes are shaped to maximize direct contact with the GPU for improved heat transfer. Excessive heat from the GPU is not only dissipated by the massive cooling module on the front, but also by the back with a copper plate, which is a rounded thermal solution for the GPU. And an extra heatpipe on the back can release more heat to the key components. The airflow is expelled through the triangular fan edge and gently guided through the 3D striped curve on the fan surface, effectively improving the airflow. The 3D active fan provides semipassive cooling, while the fans remain turned off when the GPU is under a certain load or temperature for low-performance games. It allows players to enjoy the gameplay in complete silence when the system is running smoothly or idle. Optimize airflow with alternate spinning fans that reduce air turbulence and effectively dissipate heat.

Like others here, I've been having huge stability issues with this card, with it crashing under all sorts of loads. I'm thinking Gigabyte set the noiseless fan profile too aggressively (fans don't kick in under a load until ~52C) and then they don't run high enough to keep the GPU hotspot temp low enough. I've seen Hot-spot-to-'normal' temp differentials of 8-10C, which is really bad. Also, there's probably some driver buggery going on. Look at the specs for the card. See the '1501' boost clock? The 18.2.x and 18.3.x drivers set the boost (at least on my machine) to 1592! That seems pretty high to me. I don't know if Gigabyte originally planned a higher clock, and scaled it back without updating the firmware, or what, but the drivers are setting it far too high, and ...

Card worked OK for about 2 months after I got it, but wasn't that impressive. Other brand Vega 56s I have run faster, more stable, and can handle more overclocking than the Hynix memory card I got.

I was stuck without a card for about a month. Gigabyte sent the card back with no warning, as soon as I left for vacation, and I had to jump through more hoops with UPS to keep them from shipping it back to Gigabyte. When I was able to procure the card again, I got it home and thoroughly inspected the box and card. If it hadn't have been for a new anti-static bag I might have suspected they never touched the card. There was no sort of documentation stating what if anything they had done to the card, or might have found wrong with it. There was an invoice inside the original retail packaging I got back, showing Gigabyte USA invoicing some time back to Gigabyte China. There was no sign that any of the hardware was touched. I firmly suspect that there was a firmware update done, though. I've had the card back for about a week, and I have been running it nearly 24-7 mining various crypto algorithms. I have not done any BIOS modding at all, but I have tweaked the power settings, and overclocked the memory to 890Mhz before it gets unstable, which was what I had seen from the hardware before it started acting up. 880Mhz seems to be the limit that this memory will take. As an example, I am getting about 1300-1350H/s on Cryptonight7 with no changes to the strapping, just simple overclocking with Afterburner. This is actually 10% less then before I sent in the card, when I was easily getting 1450-1600H/s under the same conditions. Others have speculated that these cards have firmware issues, and I have to say my experience bears this out. Even with the performance hit since I got the card back, better it be stable, and run constantly, than the crashing every few hours it was doing. I will continue to monitor the situation with this card, and if it goes back to failing again, I'll update the review. Update 19 Aug 18 - Had it back now for about a month, and the Post - RMA comments are still accurate. The card itself is much more stable, and I can run it for days on end without any attributable crashes. What I have found since I have gotten it back, is it no longer plays well with others. I've tried to integrate this card with 2 other rigs, once with my other Vega 56, then with 6 RX 580s. In both cases, the rig would not run more than a couple hours without Windows freezing, black screen, BSOD, or sometimes the rig would shut power down completely. In both instances, as soon as I removed this card, things would run stably for days. So now I have it segregated to it's own system, where it's been running fine, but it is an extra electricity expense I could do without.

---EDIT--- 6/8/2019 - This card has now started crashing yet again, even after the mentioned RMA below. What an absolute disaster of a GPU from Gigabyte. Bought this card mid-2018, started having issues later in 2018 and finally RMA'ed it in early 2019. These cards have obvious issues. It's really frustrating having to RMA a card just because gigabyte won't eat the repair costs on these and fix whatever issue they have before selling them. Id be less inclined to write a bad review if this was an isolated incident, but they're knowingly selling junk cards, and people need to know about it. It is stable now after repair so far (about a month), but I don't trust the card long term and fully expect to RMA it again at some point.

I agree with the reviewer saying it's a bad firmware flash. That's what I was thinking since card 1. And no, I'm not willing to slave it to edit the BIOS right out of the gate. Newegg knows full well at this point that this is a bad batch - AS DOES GIGABYTE (send emails in to them too folks). The only reason there aren't more bad reviews - is like myself, the people are waiting for the replacements and hoping with all hope that there's no way reputable companies like Newegg and Gigabyte would continue peddling such blatantly bad cards. Well, they are! Are you waiting for this to officially hit 1 Egg Newegg, - before you pull it from the shelves? I am willing to pay the difference on another Vega 56 or 64 NO MORE REPLACEMENTS ON THIS JUNK CARD. We're in the territory ... MoreI agree with the reviewer saying it's a bad firmware flash.

So, bought this beast of a GPU back in July and was satisfied with the bump in performance over my Fury Nitro. After the latest Adrenaline driver update the card started acting funny, like a kid with downs at Disney World. It kept turning the FANS OFF at boot and then randomly at different P states even with fan curves set to max. I was all like, "Card, fans on! We're in Florida, you're gonna burn." And it was like, " NO WANT TO LEAVE DIDNEY WERLD! " So like any good parent of a learning disabled child I left it alone to its own devices for about three hours. When I came back the screen was black and naught would turn it on. Tried rebooting a few times to no avail. Finally, decided to try and switch pci lanes and when I touched it "Ouch! fire bad!" Card was at least ... MoreSo, bought this beast of a GPU back in July and was satisfied with the bump in performance over my Fury Nitro.

Card was at least 80c after at least 10 minutes of shutdown. Anywho, like I said, it's a great card, awesome at texture mapping and shader layering, but, at least since the last driver, it has a most imperative need to end itself. I mean, it was still in the mid 80's (f) here last week, the only way this thing would survive is if I sawed the heat pipes off and attached them to my truck radiator, which would impede my ability to make my homebrew craft moonshine. Have started RMA process with Gigabyte, but from the comments above and below, I don't expect the process to be quick on the uptick. Hope all goes well and I can leave a better review when unit is rehab....I mean reshipped. -Florida Man!
I had 850 watt power supply and the card kept crashing. I used a watt meter and my machine was pulling about 900-950 watts from the wall which should be correct since it was gold rated. I took my machine to work and hooked it to an oscilloscope and what I found is that the power was dirty. My psu was having voltage and frequency variation swings that were causing the card to crash. Put my old r9 290 in and power was clean again. at full load cpu and gpu with the vega I was pulling 700 watts. I bought a 1000 watt psu and it has not crashed in weeks. All the newest drivers work. I would not use anything less than 1000 watt psu on this card. If you have lots of pci devices , i would got to 1200 watts.
This PCB design is notorious for overheating even though temps appear to be under 60C in MSI afterburner and wattman (core and memory hotspots can reach 80+) which leads to artifacting. I have purchased 6 of these cards with every single one performing subpar to the reference model in every single way possible . Every single card will leak some sort of grease/oil from the thermal pads & copper block in the back plate after a few weeks of usage. This can lead to shorting of the caps near the PCI-E slot. I have had nothing but issues with this vega model. I had 2 cards constantly crash under stock working conditions on multiple games. I also had 3 out of the 6 cards come with broken 8 pin connetor walls (didn't even bother dealing with RMA since it was so many cards). ...

I have tried this in two separate builds. (1) Ryzen 5 1600x, Gigabyte Ab350N (F22 BIOS), 16GB Geil ram (2666), Evga G3 850w. (2) Ryzen 5 1600, MSI B350m Arctic (Latest BIOS), 16 GB g.skill trident z (3000), EVGA G3 750w. both builds had the same result, with and without any overclocks. after weeks of diagnosing, emails, 2 cards RMA'd, I've finally found a stable environment. Setting frequency -4%, undervolting, setting power limit to 50%, and a very aggressive fan curve. I've found that the drivers (on stock settings) push the clocks to way beyond stable settings, causing a hard crash or BSOD. I've seen clocks as high as 1900+ at crash, and power draw almost 400w!! By lowering all of the settings and under clocking/volting the card I was able to keep clocks around ... MoreI have tried this in two separate builds.

By lowering all of the settings and under clocking/volting the card I was able to keep clocks around 1500, at a stable voltage. This card gets HOT, hotter than my Vega 64 (Powercolor), in my other build. I wish I could get a refund, I've been fighting gigabyte for weeks. Unacceptable for a company that knows they released a defective product, to just tell you to go pound sand. And they know, depending on who you talk to, they'll admit it. I believe the problem is with the BIOS of the card, or the way the card communicates with the drivers. I am happy I can finally use this card. But, I will never ever buy another Gigabyte product. I paid way more than MSRP for this because I wanted it, and I loved Gigabyte. I was excited when it came in. Just to be dissapointed and have my hopes and dreams destroyed. Please shop around a little more. I absolutely love my Vega 64, and I can run it on any setting(factory, turbo, etc) without any issues. Good luck my friends that are in the same boat, I hope we all learned a life lesson ( albeit an expensive one).
I know this card has gotten many bad reviews not only on this site but others as well. I took a chance after reading all the negativity because the sale was too goo to ignore. I have two other Vega cards (56 & 64) on other PCs - both from MSI and they have a reference style blower fan and they are both really loud when they wind up... the Vega 64 is so loud I had to move my PC under my table trying to move it further away from me cause the noise would make it difficult to hear dialog through my speakers sometimes. Comparing this Gigabyte card to my MSI Vega 56 on a different PC, this one is much quieter and I get pretty much the same results from a graphics/framerate perspective. I have a 144hz Free2sync2 HDR monitor and this runs AAA game smoothly with the highest ... MoreI know this card has gotten many bad reviews not only on this site but others as well.

I have a 144hz Free2sync2 HDR monitor and this runs AAA game smoothly with the highest settings at 1440 resolution (40-50 fps). My Vega 64 will get 60-70 fps in the same games. I used to overclock everything I could in the past but now a days, I'm okay with running my PC / Graphics at stock speeds; the increase in benchmarks & FPS isn't worth the headaches to me anymore... I can't say why I'm one of the lucky ones that have had a good experience with this card but I did read somewhere saying to use two separate power cables to the PSU and not a single one with a splitter at the end... Not sure if this gave it a more stable power feed or not but all I can say is I've had zero issues with this card since I got this.
This series of card is defective. I had to send my original card back for a replacement because after a few minutes of use my system would crash. Lowering the memory clock and voltage initially made the card stable again, but soon it was crashing instantly when my system booted up. The replacement I got from Newegg didn't work either. Couldn't even get inside the OS for 10 seconds before it crashed. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, older drivers, beta drivers, and tested the card using entirely different hardware on a different machine with a different power supply, no difference.
