There have been some stonking offers on AMD’s Radeon RX Vega graphics playing cards of late, however this newest worth drop on their RX Vega 56 card is simply correctly bonkers, as proper now you may nab MSI’s Air Boost OC mannequin for simply £250 over at Ebuyer and Overclockers UK. Add in free copies of Devil May Cry 5, The Division 2 and Resident Evil 2 in addition to a part of AMD’s three free games bundle and that’s one hell of a hefty low cost.
It’s value noting that the MSI mannequin in query solely has a single, blower-style fan versus the bigger and extra substantial cooling programs you’ll discover on different makes of Vega 56, besides – £250! That’s an astonishing deal for such a robust graphics card – particularly when its closest Nvidia neighbour, the RTX 2060, is round £100 costlier proper now and solely comes with a free copy of Battlefield V or Anthem.
And simply in case you want reminding of how highly effective both the RX Vega 56 or RTX 2060 really is, let’s simply say that each of those playing cards are wonderful 1440p performers, in addition to respectable, entry-level 4K playing cards – which actually isn’t unhealthy for £250.
I additionally prefer to assume this sort of worth drop serves as some candy, candy revenge after Nvidia sneakily lowered the costs of their RTX 2080 playing cards on the day of AMD’s Radeon 7 launch, which actually ended up taking the wind out of AMD’s sails regardless of being their new GPU being the world’s first 7nm graphics card.
If you’re pondering of snapping it up, although, you higher hurry, because it’s already out of inventory at Ebuyer, whereas Overclockers are presently saying it’s on pre-order. I’ve additionally requested AMD for clarification on whether or not it is a everlasting worth drop for the MSI Air Boost OC, or whether or not it’s extra of a one-time solely factor. Either means, I’ll replace this text as quickly as I hear again.
