Unleashing The AMD Powercolor Red Dragon Vega 56!

2018-03-27
hey what's going on buddy glad to see you guys back here on the child now we know that video cards are still overpriced that's just how things are one thing I did want to point out before I jumped in the video is that power color themselves told me that they have no control over what the e-tailers and retailers sell their card for they told me specifically that they're selling the cards to them at the price that they're supposed to be so that means that you know if this card selling for $4.99 they're selling to new wake for $4.99 and the new eggs raising the price up to whatever they want it to be they say they have nothing to do with the price gouging and they want to make sure that I related that information to you folks so I did so we've all seen the power color Red Devil we've seen both versions we've seen the Vegas 56 we've seen the Vegas 64 well now we see something different we see the red dragon version you guys are going okay Eric what's a red dragon version well the most important difference between the red dragon version is the other is power consumption on the red devil 750 watts is needed on this card 650 watts now beyond that the boost clocks are a little bit different now this particular one comes to market at eleven seventy seven for its normal clock and 1478 for its boost and the memory clock speed is at 800 which is pretty much exactly the same as the red devil card so that's what you get you get a card that actually has a smaller PCB it has a different cooling out brass and they're saying that even though this cooling apparatus is actually smaller than the previous one it actually cools much more efficiently which we'll find out as we jump in and do all the testing but for right now let's jump in let's see what comes in the box in this brand new red dragon Vega 56 from the people at power color so first off let's take a look at the box if you guys don't know this is an 8 gigabyte card featuring HP m2 memory the further box nothing much there on the back you can see it supports free sim 2 it supports wot man all the good stuff that's with an AMD card for overclocking it's got all the stuff for doing your streaming all that stuff all included when you're on the AMD platform all good right ok that's not what you're looking for you're looking for the card so let's pop it to the side of the box here I will go ahead and remove this carton take the carton out of the box set it off to the side we won't try to assault the camerman today a little cap over here and let's see here what we got here okay so right off the bat we're gonna see the card everything comes inside of here with an anti-static bag so you don't have to worry about your card getting shorted out let's go ahead and let's remove the card real quickly get it out of there now let's see what accessories come in this box now in the front this is usually where they keep the accessories I don't think there's really anything in this box so this time it's not really looking like there is no absolutely nothing in there so no additional cables nothing like that you do get their manual and the drivers but we all know that everybody's gonna download the drivers off the internet if they can because that's always the latest and greatest drivers and it's what you definitely want to do you can use if you don't have internet connection but if you have one definitely download the latest drivers so let's get that out of the way move on to the card itself I'll set this down here just a nice little any static area you guys can see a nice seal here so I'm going to go ahead and break this seal and devirginized this card the seal has now been broken the sacred seal of the red dragon so let's pull this baby out now this card still is a huge card you guys can see this card is extremely long three fan design pretty much the same as the Red Devil now what they're saying though is this card is though a little bit shorter and you guys can see it is a little bit shorter now not only is the Red Devil a longer card it's actually thicker as well you can see this is just a simple two slot design so this card is not only thinner it's actually shorter and it's supposed to cool even better than the previous generation card you know three fans on top you guys can see the GI and giant heat fins all underneath the card on the side you can see the same thing tons and tons and tons of heat fins in here to keep this card running cool and I suppose that since I did take the time to redesign the coin all that it probably will function better here on the end you can just see more of the cooling apparatus take a look at the top of the card you guys can see that no longer do you need a dual eight pin power connection now it's a single eight and a single six and there are also two buttons on here one of these is obvious is going to be for the dual BIOS and the others for switching the card into gaming mode at least that's how it was on the Red Devil card so I'm assuming that's kind of going to be the same I looked online and there manual no actually information but I'm betting that that's what they're for another thing that you guys might notice about this is even though this car does have a very nice backplate there's actually a slot back here that's completely opened up furling the heat dissipated from the Kart and you know that many of the cards the whole shroud covers the entire card and sometimes that creates heat issues but the design of this card all that heat is being dissipated out of the rear of the card through these vents also crossfire is completely done to the PCI so you don't need any bridges anymore no more cables no more nothing I'm not you know not really sure why NVIDIA hasn't gone over the same thing and everything still requires a cable and all that stuff this is so much easier to do so much less hassle you plug your card in you go into your BIOS and you go into your control panel for all the AMD stuff and you enable it and it's that simple no mess no fuss whatsoever now let's check out the rear plate in this with the outputs are we have to display ports two HDMI ports the card does support Eyefinity so if you want to use multiple monitors you'll be able to do that without a problem now the actual pricing on this particular card I haven't seen it get out yet it's probably gonna be released over the next week or two but hopefully we'll see these prizes at a lower price point than we've seen the Red Devil now the 56 cards have been going online I've seen on eBay and stuff anywhere between 700 and $1,000 which is just ridiculous this card should come to market at about $500 now whether we're actually gonna see that price or not from the gougers out there I don't know I hope we do also since you guys know that this card is not being sold for 1,100 or 800 euros prices if you see in a new way gorillas places honestly you should boycott it that's why I'd recommend doing I know that we're bringing this card and all that stuff but right now this card isn't in the market for sale but when it does come for sale I would make sure the people that you buy this card aren't ripping you off in charge and you double the face value which is just completely completely BS do you guys know what I know it so if you see this card for a nice price sure go ahead and get it but if you can't find this card for anything but these thousand dollar prices for a gamer that's just read Kilis I'm Miller you guys been watching Tekken tomorrow whatever information is available for this card love down with a like button you guys know what to do and hey if you're not sub sub the channel because we got lots of stuff coming up testing this card we got far cry 5 and all the high end cards just lots of stuff coming we'll see you guys later I'm Network thanks for watching
