    the noise is deafening but it's a good looking paperweight

      The only hesitation I'd have about buying a used Vega at this point is that they were good at mining and HBM is fragile. Buildzoid has mentioned a couple of times that he wouldn't touch a Radeon VII with a barge pole these days because he's seen so many dead ones. Vega might be a little more durable due to the older process node I suppose.

      You've never owned one. I had a reference Vega 64 for a while and it wasn't a loud card at all, especially once tweaked and undervolted.

    for gayming (windows): needed to disable freesync, otherwise monitor stutters after a game. Had lots of crashes with the march 2023 driver, went back to 21.6 something, works great so far.
    Got it for 150 yurobucks with box and receipt used from a guy who used it in crossfire to play sekiro.
    It's a bit noisy at maximum power but because I [email protected] fps, the card doesn't blow in most non post 2021 triple A games .

    for ganoo lonox: tried gnome and KDE, both Wayland and X11. Except for KDE Wayland traditional bugs worked flawlessly in every config. No need to install a driver for recent (kernel < 4 years) distros, blender works like a charm and I don't feel the lack of cuda from my rtx 2070.

    Also tried stable diffusion, couldn't generate images above 489*489, memory would saturate above. An image would take about 5-20 (can't remember but like that) seconds to generate with default settings from webui.

    I'd say for the price I paid for I'm really happy about it. If it lasts two years before failure I'll be satisfied.

      you could've gotten a 5600 XT or 6600 XT for $150, dumbass.

    i guess it's like $150 on ebay, not too bad for a budget card

    Was gonna get a flashed V56 then someone pointed me towards the RX 6600 but that's only x8 (and my CPU at the time had PCIe 2.0) so I started looking at used 5700XTs and ended up getting a 6700XT.

    Vega was unironically really good, the price was the bad part.

    Just a get an RX 6600. Small, quiet, up-to-date. Or if you're lucky you can get an RX 6700 10GB for not too much more and, with any luck, coast trough the generation.

    VEGA is like the last flagship before crypto shit, HBM feel like a Datacenter GPU in your home.
    I wish I bought used one at that time

    their support is dead, get a RX6XXX instead, unless you can get that one for really cheap

    Reference I probably wouldn't, but I'm pretty happy with my Nitro. Stay away from ex-miner cards though, they're likely to suffer HBM failure.
