Notes
The Radeon RX Vega 56 offers 8GB HBM2 memory on Vega architecture with 3,584 Stream Processors, providing high-end performance at more accessible pricing than Vega 64. This GPU delivered solid 1440p gaming with HBM2 memory technology. Built for 1440p gaming and compute workloads. Despite being many generations old with high power consumption and lacking modern features, it remains functional for 1080p gaming. Often available at budget pricing on secondary market, suitable for users seeking older high-end performance or experimenting with HBM2 technology without modern efficiency or ray tracing capabilities.
