In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB are significantly better than the AMD Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB.
The RX Vega has a 332 MHz higher core clock speed and 96 more Texture Mapping Units than the RX 570. This results in the RX Vega providing 186.5 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RX Vega has a 332 MHz higher core clock speed and 24 more Render Output Units than the RX 570. This results in the RX Vega providing 46.6 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RX Vega was released less than a year after the RX 570, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The RX Vega has 4096 MB more video memory than the RX 570, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RX Vega also has superior memory performance overall.
The RX Vega has 32 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RX 570, which means that the memory performance of the RX Vega is noticeably better than the RX 570.
The Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB has 3584 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB has 2048. However, the actual shader performance of the RX Vega is 3494 and the actual shader performance of the RX 570 is 2683. The RX Vega having 811 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RX Vega delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the RX 570.
The Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB requires 300 Watts to run and the Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB requires 120 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the RX Vega and a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RX 570. The RX Vega requires 180 Watts more than the RX 570 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RX Vega may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RX 570.

| Mini Review | Overview Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB is an Enthusiast gaming Graphics Card based on the Fourth (4.0) Revision of the Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture. Architecture The Vega 10 XL GPU offers support for HBM-2 Memory, DirectX 12.0 and Open GL 4.5. While the Radeon RX Vega Eclipse uses the same Vega 10 XT GPU as the Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB, it is slightly down. This variant of the Vega 10 XL GPU with 56 Compute Units activated, offering 3584 Shader Processing Units, 224 TMUs and 56 ROPs, making it an estimated 12.5% slower than the Radeon RX Vega 64. This puts its predicted performance roughly in line with the GeForce GTX 1070. GPU The Central Unit is clocked at 1500MHz. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with stacked HBM-2 Memory and accesses the Frame Buffer through a 2048-bit memory interface. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 8GB. Under most circumstances, this only proves useful in certain 3D Games whose Settings Require Large Amounts of Memory. However,the GPU itself is aimed for 4K Gaming, In some limited scenarios, 8GB might be a bottleneck and Performance could be better were the Frame Buffer larger, however this would only be an issue in the most demanding games. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 300W, it requires at least a 600W PSU with two available 8-pin connectors. Performance Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB competes with GeForce GTX 1070 8GB, which is available for $399. Specs currently available suggest the Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB performance should be in the same region as the GeForce GTX 1070. However, the ultra-wide HBM2 memory may offer the Radeon RX Vega an advantage at higher resolutions. System Suggestions Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB HBM2 is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840 x2160 (4K). We recommend a Very Strong Processor and at least 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance.is | Overview First off we should point out that this is not the new AMD Vega graphics card line. These new AMD Radeon RX 500 series cards are an uprated version of the RX 400 series that they are replacing. This Asus RX 570 graphics card is one of the higher performance models from the new AMD Radeon RX 500 Series. The AMD Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC RX 570 4GB graphics card released in April 2017 as an AMD performance gaming graphics card. This card competes against Nvidia's GTX 1050 Ti and replaces the older Radeon RX 470. As a Polaris refresh, the RX 570 runs at a slightly faster clock speed than the RX 470. Architecture It is powered by the 14nm Pollaris 20 GPU, which has 2048 shader processing units, 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs. GPU The Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC RX 570 processing central unit runs at 1168MHz and goes up to 1310MHz, when the boost mode is triggered. The reference RX 570 card's boost clock is 1244MHz Memory The Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC RX 570 comes with a 4GB frame buffer of GDDR5, through a 256-bit memory interface, while the memory clock operates at 1750MHz. Power Consumption The Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC RX 570 has a rated board TDP of 120W, it requires at least a 400W PSU with one available 8-pin connector. Performance The AMD RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC delivers a Mid/High graphical performance for 2017. with the RX570 capable of running most triple AAA titles released during 2017 on medium to high graphics settings at a 1080p screen resolution. With some adjustments and lowering anti aliasing this RX570 4GB card can confidently maintain 60+ frames per seconds on high graphic settings at 1080p. Moving to 1440p screen resolution and the graphics card may need to be adjusted down to medium in order to maintain 50-60+ fps. System Suggestions The RX 570 is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a mid range R5 Ryzen processor and at least 8GB of system memory for optimal gaming performance from the RX 570. | |||
