Powercolor's RX Vega 56 is now available for £350 with three free games
- Thread starter WYP
- Start date
It's getting there on price. Anyone know if the games can be resold in whatever format they come in? That's at least another £50 off if you can. Amazing that the RTX series has made even Vega prices look good by comparison!
EDIT: Shame that's one of the most hideous card designs around, not sure I want that in my PC!

What emulators you running?
I've ran Northern Islands, Polaris and Vega with a lot of different emulators and never had an issue
Mainly CEMU & RPSC3.
There are many problems with slowdown and graphical glitches that just don't happen with Nvidia GPU's.
Reading the Reddit CEMU thread will confirm this.
It may change when/if CEMU, in particular, adopts Vulkan but that's just a maybe for now.
That's more an issue with ambiguity in the OpenGL pipeline and how developers and drivers interpret commands differently than an issue with emulators in general. Any modern/mature emulator should be well on there way to Vulkan or DX12 implementations(Which seems to benefit emulators far more than traditional games) which often favour AMD in performance and many more have DX11 rendering options which generally brings compatibility on par across vendors(But don't hold out on any updates from AMD changing how they've performed the OpenGL rendering for decades just because a few emulators make different assumptions).

Tempted to upgrade from my stock blower at these prices. I was going to liquid cool but I've since decided against it for this generation. Having a decent cooler would quieten my rig down a lot, plus I could still get a decent chunk of change back on the blower. Total price of upgrade would be low.

Granted I've not used those at all. They are very much still in development.
I know RPSC3 uses DX12 and Vulkan, but that's still in Alpha. CEMU is still classed as experimental on their Discord as well.
I looked on Reddit and I've seen that allegedly the latest issue with AMD cards is CEMU's shader cache being broken or something. As you said, once they get Vulkan implemented the performance should shoot straight up.
