Yeah, unfortunately, electronics tax in ZA is massive and so our stores have to compensate for it somewhat. And with the volatility of the Rand it's a little more subjective on when you buy something. At the top end, it will be around R500, I am looking to break even or spend around R300 on the...

I have thought on it, just saving it for some time and then doing a bigger upgrade since I need a mobo/CPU upgrade too. I haven't seen any KO's in the country (South Africa). But without Tech prices, it doesn't get quite heavy on new hardware ending up with 5600XT's being $450-500+. So the...

I know it isn't much of an upgrade, more the power draw and the newer tech. I have a decently aggressive curve on it because otherwise, the temps get quite rough. I have a fan curve to keep it topping out at 75 degrees Celcius . Fan Curve: 0% until 30c -> 20%, 50c -> 60% 70c ->80% 85c -> 90%...

What case you running, I'm currently in an NZXT S340 Elite. What do you mean by '(undervaluing that is OC as you wish) ' Also only beginning to learn so I cannot say how much it will need, but I doubt coding eats up many resources.

What temps were you getting and what sort of fan RPM/Noise dB were you sitting around? Mostly gaming, might use it for video editing and Graphics work. Otherwise coding programmes.

Palit/EVGA/Strix for 1070 and for the Vega 56 Strix basically, Unless I can get my hands on a Sapphire Nitro which seem to be scarce. My budget is right on $200, so considering the 5600XT isn't really an option. I currently have an EVGA 980ti and part of the reason I am upgrading is to have...

Hello Everybody (: I hope we are all well, I would like to ask for some advice/user experience, As the title states Deciding between the two, since the 56 can outperform the 1070 buy a good margin, is it worth the delve into tuning the Vega 56 getting better performance/cooler temps? I...
