DimiBecause some games run between 40-55 fps, some 80-100fps and then there's games that run between 120-165 fps. I will have adaptive sync on all 3 different games.

Then there's Freesync monitors, with the most common adaptive sync range of 48-75hz. Great if you can keep your fps between 48 and 75 fps, anything outside of that and there goes your adaptive sync unless you cap it of course.

btarunrAMD cut pricing of the Radeon RX Vega 56 in select markets

XaledYou guys miss the whole point.
Spending 100-200$ on GFX and getting a Freesync monitor with 165-40hz range is smarter than paying 100-200$ more to get a Gsync monitor with 165-30hz range instead.

medi01Is there any other market, than Germany and any other shop, than mindfactory, that did that?
Or is it really down to "mindfactory has crappiest Vega 56 ever released for under 300 Euro"?

Vya DomusYou would have also paid about twice as much for it than your average 75 hz Freesync monitor. So your point boils down to : "This subset of cheaper products is worse than these other products that are on average also more expensive". Cool.

DimiCan you find me a similarly specced freesync alternative cheaper than 300$? 1440p 165hz 24" (i don't want a 27 inch monitor)

bugSo that if your game dips at 31 fps, the frame can still be presented to you in a timely manner.
Whenever your fps dips below the minimum supported refresh, VRR won't work, you'll get regular vsync instead. (edit: you get LFC if you're on FreeSync2)

efikkanIt's really sad when people recommend running a product out of spec to make it acceptable.
Undervolting is not smart, it sacrifices reliability, and it's not something you can even guarantee will work.

FouquinHot? No.



Sure, I'll give you that one.

At least undervolting is there to solve both problems.

illliThis is a great deal considering you can undervolt and o/c and comes with a 3 game bundle. People like to bitch about anything.
Ps for you people complaining about the noise or w/e there ARE 3rd party cooling solutions.

Instead, AMD’s competitor for the GTX 1660 Ti looks like it will be the Radeon RX Vega 56. The company sent word last night that they are continuing to work with partners to offer lower promotional prices on the card, including a single model that was available for $279, but as of press time has since sold out. Notably, AMD is asserting that this is not a price drop, so there’s an unusual bit of fence sitting here; the company may be waiting to see what actual, retail GTX 1660 Ti card prices end up like. So I’m not wholly convinced we’re going to see too many $279 Vega 56 cards, but we’ll see. If nothing else, AMD’s Raise the Game Bundle is being offered, giving them an edge over NVIDIA in terms of pack-in games.

jabbadapWell anandtech asked AMD about that, it's not a price cut it's a limited time promotional sale.

bugYou have a link to prove that about GSync? I don't like it because it's proprietary, but as far as I have read, the complaint was about FreeSync and how not having any requirements for supported refresh rates results in monitors that have practically unusable FreeSync implementations, but can still tick the feature on the box.

Vya DomusAnd why would that really matter ?

If you have a game that swings from 30 fps to 165+, you have bigger problems than the range your Freesync monitors has. The matter of the fact is these things have been invented to be used when the hardware can't quite push enough frames as to be fully synchronized with the display not for when it can barley push playable framerates several times below the maximum refresh rate and where the frame times are very high anyway. This whole range thing has been beaten to death when in reality it matters little in real world use.

But what can I say I guess you will have a better 30fps cinematic experience on your G-sync monitor that most Freesync user do. I can't deny the validity of that claim.

GasarakiJust look up Battlenonsense on YT.

champsilvaWhich is now over.

FluffmeisterLuckily Nvidia users get the choice of both now, in this news piece about Vega 56 still being overpriced.

jmcslobWhere is this price slash happening...If anything the price has literally gone up since I seen that they are dropping in price

FluffmeisterIt's a fake AMD BS gimmick for like one day only, they can't really cut prices anymore, they need Wong to pull his finger out and get Navi on the market ASAP. 12nm RX 590 offers horrendous performance per watt, Vega 56 and Vega VII are probably losing them money at this point in their desperate attempt to remain competitive.

It's a sad situation.
