The RX Vega started out life at well over $400 (£400), and over the course of 2018 has slowly but surely been making its way into the affordable. With a little extra help from AMD to cut costs the MSI RX Vega 56 Air Boost OC graphics card is now listed over at Newegg, OverclockersUK, and eBuyer for $300 and £249 respectively. Although, as of writing, the offer has not yet gone live. We’ve shot AMD a line asking for further details on availability and how long this deal might actually last.
This price drop strategically puts AMD’s RX Vega 56 right in the mix with the mainstream, booting the AMD RX 590 out of the picture. The top Polaris card launched late last year was a moderate upgrade over the RX 580 at launch, but doesn’t perform anywhere close to the RX Vega 56. With similar price tags, the RX Vega 56 is too good to turn down… at least for one more day.
