Pros: GPU clocks up to 2085 MHz, 950 MHz on GDDR6. Power consumption reasonable. Great gaming performance. Mines decently with newest driver. One 8 pin, one 6 pin..nice. Good looking card. The Heatsink design on the GDDR6 is ingenious..very happy with GDDR6 and VRM temps.

Cons: Bad thermal paste application on mine (see below - that's why I docked it an egg). Fixed. Drivers still relatively immature (not Sapphire's fault). Both are fixable (drivers on AMD, quality control on Sapphire).

Overall Review: First Sapphire card I've gotten in about 8 or so years. Was psyched when I saw the reviews, especially with thermals. Got it, and was immediately getting mid 90's on junction - high 70's on edge temp and would hit 103-105C when I pushed the power limit to 30% or higher. Even at 5% power limit increase was high 90's junction. Mind you this was with the fans at full tilt. I knew something was wrong, when comparing my results to the reviews. After a week or so I gave in, and tore it down. Applied IC Diamond 24K and put her back together. Junction temps dropped 16C-20C (16 in most instances - PUBG still always runs high for some odd reason). I took pics of the TIM application and it seemed lacking..the pressure on the GPU from the original mount seemed fine..so it definitely seems to be a quality control issue from the factory. I got mine a few days after it launched..so I don't know if they were rushing it to get some stock on the market or what. In the end, I'm really happy with it now with the new thermal paste. It could have been avoided, so I hope Sapphire reads this. Most buyers wouldn't tear it down like I did..so save yourself, the customer and Newegg a lot of grief by paying attention to this very important detail. I'm very happy with the quality of the silicon I got, the clocks are amazing - and the build quality is great...just make sure the TIM is good Sapphire!! Navi's temps are definitely higher than my Vega 56. This was surprising given the 7nm move. But with clocks generally 400Mhz above Vega 56... that's not really something to complain about. Definitely buy it..just wanted the temp issue I had noted..so if you customers see the same, you know what to do, don't bother RMA'ing it over something like that...just make sure you have really small screw drivers!

Pros: moves air..when set to blue, my blue PC has yet another fan

Cons: HOLEE WIRES BATMAN!! see the picture accompanying this...this doesn't do the wires justice...I could tie up a group of sled dogs with these and still have enough left over to strangle the engineer who designed this thing! No really, I started laughing when I pulled them out because I bought 3 other fans that day and this one looked downright ridiculous when I compared it to the others. Only reason I used the PCI slot was because I don't like being sloppy... but with this many wires... you will either have to grab yourself some zipties or be a stash-master...

Overall Review: I use this on my clear panel with wires relatively loose - the good part is I don't have to undo anything when I remove the panel because I have 50 feet of wire attached to this fan. BUY IT FOR THE LAUGHS ALONE! LED's are fine, airflow is fine it's a cheap 80mm fan - not a jet engine people...and saying that, this review is way too long for a fan. Ps... can you figure out which word was "deemed improper and unsuitable for submission."?

Pros: 6800XT. 1440 monster. 4K real good as well. Can even ray trace

Cons: Price. First card in my lifetime 20+years hardware purchases that I've gotten coil whine. I thought it was people making it up, or exaggerating...nope - it's a real thing. Day 1...Bad....it's calmed down a bit - but definitely still there. Never heard it in my life, now I can't un-hear it...brutal. Gold plus 850 watt power supply with 2 completely different cables going to each 8 pin...so it's not the PSU.

Overall Review: If GPU's weren't impossible to come by, I'd RMA this thing.. I had the 5700XT Pulse from Sapphire and absolutely loved it. Given the price of this thing...I can't help but think the entire purchase leaves a sour taste in my mouth because of the coil whine..For this price it should be flawless..period.

Pros: 12 CORES on an X370 board. Lisa Su for President 2020! 1.5 to 2X computation in ALL workloads when considering clocks and IPC improvements. Compared to my Ryzen 7 1700 it replaced. WAY more L3 Cache 64 Mb vs. 16. Precision Boost Overdrive is incredibly impressive. I'm a decent overclocker, had my 1700 @ [email protected] running 140 watts. This runs 4.1-4.2 all cores when needed - and will boost 6 of the cores all the way up to 4.65 maxing at 120ish watts. Running 4.1 89% usage (mining, which is 2X+ hash rates) at 67 watts. Yeah. Gaming..definitely better, but I game at 1440P with Vega 56 - which is clearly the bottleneck now...11-36% CPU usage in most games (PUBG, Division 2, SOTTR). CPU temps are great (I'm on 280AIO), but from everything I've seen...there's no need for an AIO)

Cons: Precision Boost Overdrive has really taken away the use/need for manual overclocks. I tried...4.3 all cores, nope...4.25 nope...and I ramped it up to 1.43v and that's where I said...any lower - and PBO is actually better. At least on the X370.. Please bear in mind THIS IS ON X370 platform..which brings up the other main issue I have - DDR4 support is still lacking on the platform. I was hoping to pop in the 3900X and that the new memory controller would make it magically do 3600...nope...not yet. This may change with additional AGESA updates IF the motherboard manufacturers continue support beyond launch day on the older platforms. I'll update if that's the case. Just buy cheap 3200 RAM if you're on X370. If you must tweak, tweak the timings on the RAM (which is a pain...hence why it's a con..they make you really work for those extra benchmark points!)

Overall Review: Am I bummed I can't overclock it manually?? Not really, not when I see the performance with PBO and seeing double the work done with HALF the energy. It's insane to say the least. I'd absolutely recommend it for enthusiasts that don't have large PCIE requirements. Forget PCIE 4.0 - Threadripper platform is where you need to be if that's a concern. Don't be an idiot, update your BIOS BEFORE you try to pop in a 3000 series in the older platforms. IF you are on older platforms. Make SURE you have software to monitor your VRM temps. I have a "12 Phase" (Buildzoid would rip the 12 part apart) with 45A Chokes. The VRM can get insanely hot even with a decent heatsink. I bought a 140mm fan to directly blow on it. HW Monitor (CPUID) will NOT read my VRM temps..(motherboard specific??)..so I use Asrock's cheesy OC software just to get that reading(HW Monitor for everything else)..once the fans get that under control...we'll all be good. Don't let PBO bum you out, really -the performance is so incredible, and AMD's engineers did such a good job with it(the chip AND PBO) - why complain...they get you a great chip that knows what to do when, at great temps and energy efficiency.

Pros: 6 plus 8 pin connectors. Incredible 1440p performance. Great idle power draw. INGENIOUS heat dissipation design. Small PCB is not seemingly affected by closer VRM's. Pretty quiet all considering. CastXMR = 1950 H/s. Keeps cool even overclocked, overclocks pretty decently. Priced returning to semi-reasonable. WAY better buy than the 64.

Cons: Power draw will hit about 190 when overclocked gaming. Prices still higher than they should be. No instructions on which switch does what (center switch is LED, outer switch is BIOS)...scoured the entire net to figure that one out (see Buildzoid's video on the PCB). Hynix memory vs. Samsung...but since it's HBM2 - it shouldn't be expected to overclock like a monster anyways. I still game at 935 comfortably and mine at 965 comfortably.

Overall Review: Given the mess I (and MANY others) went through with the Gigabyte 56 OC - having this card work first shot..put it through extreme testing for a week - and STILL have it work, very impressed - I almost lost faith in Vega. Almost..Powercolor totally delivers with this card - nailed it! I have this running tandem with the Powercolor Red Dragon RX 480 - which is SOOO fitting. Poor 480 is going to be replaced with another one of these. People think Powercolor is a sub-par brand..but let me tell you this...my 480 (Samsung memory on it) was FAR superior to my XFX 580 (which I sold it and kept the 480...which should say something). I have total faith in Powercolor after the experience with these two cards...which is why I'll get another one of these. Sub par brands??? How about the ones that rolled over to Nvidia's GPP - and then put out garbage Vega 56's thinking, "Hey, the market share for Team Red is smaller - we don't care about them." (Ahem Gigabyte). Here, Powercolor went forward - took the smaller PCB and said "Hey, let's make a double slot 56 (better fit for multi-GPU setups)...still give it a backplate...but let's make the heatsink go all the way back and keep it open (*as opposed to being stifled by the backplate) - so that it can cool even better than ALL the other AIB cards. Well, I'm here to report - it worked. Genius! I waited over a year to get my hands on a 56..knew I wanted an AIB card - and I couldn't be happier than I am with this one.

Pros: I don't get to use the word LIVID enough, now I can.

Cons: Like basically everyone else, this is hot garbage in silicon form. I'm on card #2 now, and same as #1. Installs display drivers (clean install using DDU and Safe Boot), once the driver posts..fans spin up...locked up, signal gone. Reboot, repeat. Last time I wasted 6 hours. It isn't the PSU, as soon as I plug in BOTH my RX 480 and RX580 - everything is fine once I reinstall the drivers. Full load, both those cards should not exceed this wattage-wise (they are 260ish together under load)..and I have mine full load 24/7. I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER REPLACEMENT PIECE OF GARBAGE. What, so it can be unstable as all heck on card 3 like the other reviewers? For $700 plus, I want my card to work - sorry if that's asking too much. Call Gigabyte, SEND THEM ALL BACK NEWEGG!

Overall Review: 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 of disputing charges with $719 being tied up and getting repeated bad cards - and a "Replacement Only" policy. Don't fall in the trap like we did folks, for the sake of your blood pressure!
