Two weeks ago you probably have read our Vega 56 and 64 reviews, what you perhaps missed is that the Vega 64 actually went on sale, the Vega 56 cards however did not. Until today that is.

Unfortunately you’ll likely be hard-pressed to find a Vega 56 today, industry shortages made sure of that. I just check the EU for availability, and there was none to be found (at the time of writing). If you can find one, chances are high that the price is artifically inflated due to the shortage.  We’re also confident that AMD would like to sell the 64 instead. If you can spot a standalone card, they should be selling for 399 USD.

If you locate them at a far higher price, you might want to wait a bit more until there is good volume available. Also we’d recommend you guys to wait on the actual AIB card, that are bound to be more silent and offer better cooling. If you haven’t read it, you can check our reference review right here.
