    Quick question. Got a vega 56. And I need a bit of an upgrade.
    On a tight budget so was looking at this card on Ali express. A supplier with hundreds of reviews.
    I play at 1080p.
    Should i go for it as it is only around £130

    A 6600M? Have they put a mobile GPU chip on a full sized GPU?

    Personally I wouldn't touch that and I also wouldn't place any faith in reviews being legit.

    Maybe I'm way off the mark and somebody may say something different...

    E: FWIW a 6600M is not a £130 upgrade over the card you have.

    How about a 5700xt? A little bit more than a 6600m

    Actually, it's no upgrade at all as this benchmark video will attest.


    Practically identical performance to the Vega 56.

    It's quite weird. Seen reviews and Web pages with a 6600m with 30% more fps at least at 1080p

    Will save a bit longer in that case. Get at least a 6650xt/7600 at least then

    Do you use Klarna?
    Useful if you want something now instead of saving and can pay over three months.

    I have used it for bigger purchases (e.g. Garmin Fenix 6X, recent 7600XT from AWD) now and then.
    Interest free for three equal monthly payments.

    Ebuyer and AWD are two tech e-sellers that offer it.
