Vega 56 upgrade - seeking advice

[Bromhead]

I play at 1080p with a 144hz monitor. The vega 56 has been a fantastic card and still plays most games, some though *looking at you warzone*, the fps dips to as low as 50 in some places of the map, mostly sits around 70 though. (This is on the lowest of low settings)

I have around 300 to 400 budget for my next card and it doesn't need to be the latest and greatest, happy to go a generation behind.

I'm not too up to date on current GPUs, any suggestions out there?

Edit - incase it's relevant the rest of my system is a 2600x on a B450 board, 16gb ram (3200 I believe) and samsung ssd 860

a 2060 or super variant would do you just fine. I have a 2060 with a 1440p monitor and i get around 90fps at the near lowest setting so at 1080p you should probably get 144fps at near max settings.

AMD are launching their new RX 6000 GPUs this week. Definitely wait until then.

I've got vega 56 also, but i would think it should be performing better than that on warzone, especially on 1080p. I play on 4k, and with some setting on medium/high it does around 70 fps most of the time, so i don't get why yours is performing like that. And 2060 is almost same as vega anyway, i would wait till new cards comes in.

Thanks for the advice guys I'll see what amd has this week that fits in my budget then

Is your vega overclocked? (What settings out of interest if so?) Is there any sort of benchmark I can run to see if my vega is running as expected?

Mine is pulse 56, it overclocks in game to about 1595ish on core and 950 mem., my p5/6/7 as at 1100mV, +50 power limit. Tried playing on 1080p with most settings on high or enabled, and i was getting from 90 to 110+ fps.

It will be the 1700x that's slowing you down in warzone.

As me again in 5 days...

We should now more then.

He has 2600x ... it ain't the CPU

If you read back and read what you quoted he has a 1700x so will be that.

I wasn't talking to OP

This, you'd be crazy to buy anything before these are released. Even if you go a generation behind, the prices will likely drop.

I too have vega 56 with 4k display. I have some settings turned down and agree with this fella its really playable, as I checked with the uncapped framerate its goes over 200 sometimes.

Absolutely terrible advice to get a 2060 that wouldnt even be a sidegrade.

 

[Poneros]

At 300-400 there's nothing worth buying until next year from a V56. Definitely look into testing yours and OCing/UVing, that performance in COD doesn't sound right at all.

A 1700x or 2600x aren't that far apart tbh but both of them are more then capable of playing war zone at better min fps then the OP is getting.

I have a Vega 56 and you should definitely get more out of it as I play at 1080p with a 144hz monitor. Play around with Wattman.

Wait for the pricing on the 6700XT, I currently have a vega 56 and am sitting it out for the 6800/XT. Not much point grabbing anything else after yesterdays showing unless you fancy a nvidia 3800 but I think 16GB will be a safer bet long term

 

[Defy Belief]

Haven't played warzone as its not my bag, but my vega 56 in mw mp i was getting 100-120fps on max settings at 1440p.
