Gamers are still using vega 56 for gaming, it hasn't passed by gamers like you said, that card will play any demanding games till date at 1080p with no problem, in my country people are still gaming with RX580 graphic card too

In 2017, when the boom in demand for video cards for mining began, gamers could not purchase them.
In 1 month All video cards that could mine Ethereum disappeared from the store shelves. These video cards were cheaply sold in the secondary market in 2019,
perhaps then they were bought by gamers.

3 years ago Vega 56 cost 450-500 dollars.
If I remember correctly, then it was often used for mining Monero, because the video card initially mined Ethereum poorly.
It's probably better to pay a few hundred dollars in addition and buy a more modern video card.

In Russia, the seller asks for $ 540 for a used Vega 56 video card produced in 2017.
This is the first problem. And the second problem is that these video cards were bought mainly by miners.
Gamers passed by these graphics cards.
Therefore, I prefer not to buy these graphics cards.

No no no, don't get it wrong, you can do research on your own using google, RX vega 56 is indeed very good for mining Ethereum, it can produce up to 52megahash per second, presently you can get one at 460$ on ebay, I believe that's still a fair price, it's not about been old or not, it's about profit making

Rx vega 56 is better than the 64 I believe, the problem is getting those cards for cheap price, not even now that gpu price have skyrocket on online stores, also it's better to consider rx5700xt cos the price isn't far from each other I believe, RX5700XT will be a good buy, that's of cos if you can't find the Vega 56 at cheap price

Vega 56 owner
Not flashed, just with custom timing from amdmemtweak
51.35 MH/s with 114W reported in teamredminer

It's pretty cool and still a good buy if you can't have cheap RX 580

My Vega 56s kicks ass! They are really nice, all doing 50+ MH/s @ ETH. I love them actually!

Before Ethereum I mined Vertcoin very well on them, and before that they were a beast at Monero! Not to forgotten Electroneum, but that's another story Tongue

RX Vega 56 and 64 have been around for a long time now, are there people still building rigs with these graphic cards? Since they are now old AMD cards I expect them to be cheaper right now, also are they still Profitable for a certain algorithm?

You've missed the buying opportunity period, now is not a good time to buy any graphics card, even old graphic cards that aren't good for mining have increase in price, you have to wait for find ways to get MSRP price which I'm sure that you can't.

220$ i paid for vega 64 yesterday, so cheap in my country and rx5700 still higher price, its prety decent for 220$ card doing 50mhs

other new gpu still expensive and more likely crowded by gamer & miner, at this bullrun make even worse for get decent price

AMD Vega cards are only good if you have free electricity and of cos get at cheaper rate, there are many other options that are far better than Vega 56 and 64 at the same price, it's good that this card still gives 50-53MH but for the money? No! Why not RX5700 or even go lower with RX580? Two RX580 will give 60-64MH per sec

The price means a lot. Vega is more energy efficient then RX580, buy mostly costs more per MH. New GPUs have better energy efficient but their cost is to high as for me.
For free electricity the best choice is RX580 surely.

If you have low-cost electricity, you can buy these graphics cards. But the price for them is already very high and they have been in mining for a long time.
I agree with the opinion that it is better to look for new video cards

Vega 56 and 64 aren't worth buying right now because of their price, I expected this cards to be under 300$ but I'm surprised you can get one with the exact amount you can get a RX5700, instead of buying Vega it's better to buy RX5700, it's more future proof

About a year before it cost was about $200. For such a price it were the best GPUs. Right now you can get used Vega for $350-$450. This is not a good deal for GPU, that mined several years.

I'm guessing that mining is the main reason why this card is still very costly till date, every single gpus that got released for affordable prices turned to x2 of the price, even gamers have a hard time building a gaming PC because of overpriced graphic cards, it's not so good to buy a brand new GPU for mining right now unless you get discount price or you buy used GPUs

Vega 56 and 64 are still ass kicking till today, they draw same power as RX580 GPU, roughly a bit over 100-130 watts and with over 50MH per second makes it very good choice, will be better if you can get them at used or under 400$ price, you will be on your way to ROI on no time.

vega56 or vega64 flashed to 56 can do 51.8mhs with 104watt (driver shown) or 55mhs with 114watt. In fact it will take more juice of course but that makes it rather good even today

The lowest RX Vega 56 for sale online is around 400$ and it's used, graphic cards are very expensive right now and this RX Vega isn't that Profitable compared to other cards at the same price range of 400$, a gtx1660 super is more profitable than a RX Vega 56
