Gigabyte announces the radeon rx vega 56 8g

We are on the verge of the launch of the RX VEGA 64 and VEGA 56, both competing against each other against Nvidia's GTX 1080 and GTX 1070. Meanwhile, the manufacturer Gigabyte is showing the first graphics card to be released soon, a non-personalized model that at first glance does not have many differences compared to its older brother.

Gigabyte RX VEGA 56 will use the reference model

No, it is not a personalized card. The first RX Vega 56 is a complete reference design. In terms of design, these cards are essentially the same as RX VEGA 64, they even have a back plate. The only addition that the Gigabyte people make is to place the manufacturer's logo on the only turbine that this graphics card has. It is also maintaining the two 8-pin connectors that VEGA 56 and VEGA 64 require to function.

AMD is planning to directly hit the GTX 1070 with this graphics card, which we can currently find for between 400 and 500 euros. The RX VEGA 56 would go out for $ 400 as the official price, waiting for the price it will have in our territory to be confirmed.

AMD's proposal will have 8GB of HBM2 memory, with 3, 584 stream units and frequencies that would be lower than those of the RX VEGA 64.

Soon we will have the complete analysis of this graphics card here in Professional Review, where we can see if it can really beat the GeForce GTX 1070, something that would benefit us all and that would force Nvidia to lower prices.
