Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB Pros Massive heat sink enables cool and quiet operation Bundled support bracket helps keep card stable Customizable RGB lighting adds enthusiast appeal Turbine-X feature allows system fan control through sensors integrated on Nitro+ card Cons Thermal solution occupies three expansion slots Coil whine is louder than AMD’s reference Radeon RX Vega 56 Limited availability and correspondingly untenable price tag Verdict Sapphire’s Nitro+ RX Vega 56 8G is a distinctly high-end implementation. As far as we’ve seen, it’s the best-cooled RX Vega 56 out there. Unfortunately, it’s also difficult to find as the company focuses on its Pulse-series cards. Don’t let that scare you away from Radeon RX Vega 56 altogether, though. With competing models available under $300, Vega 56 is more attractive than ever. 3/5 $502.98Amazon (function(){ var shopLinkJsData = { event: ’10′, evars: {"eVar43":"$502.98","eVar23":"ShoppingBlock_template_button_button","eVar34":"Amazon","eVar18":"thaus-EKZWVUD","productName":"Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB","contentID":"thaus:en_US_18_Review_6152","offer_source":"fallback","taasExperimentID":null,"taasExperimentVariant":null}, buttonId: ‘thaus-EKZWVUD’, contentID: ‘thaus:en_US_18_Review_6152′, BBC: ‘ShoppingBlock_template_button’, templateClass: ‘ea01b4583570dfadbf57e555e39920a2′, template: ‘u003Cu0025u003Du0020offer.priceu0020u0025u003Eu003Cspanu0020classu003Du0022merchantu0022u003Eu003Cu0025u003Du0020offer.merchantu0020u0025u003Eu003C/spanu003E’ }; if (window.evergageExperienceIDList) { shopLinkJsData['evergageExperienceIDList'] = window.evergageExperienceIDList; } window.raasOffers = window.raasOffers || {}; if (window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD']) { window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].links = window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].links || {}; window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].links['cb4e9faa316499175734610047'] = shopLinkJsData; window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].offerSource = ‘fallback’; } else { window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'] = window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'] || {}; window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].fallback = true; window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].url = ‘http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11275-03-40G-Radeon-Nitro-Graphics/dp/B07BQK8YV4?tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=tomshardware-deal&ascsubtag=thaus156179262528157-gclid-%gclid%-Fallback’; window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].merchant = ‘Amazon’; window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].price = ‘$502.98′; window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].product_name = ‘Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB’; window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].variables = raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].variables || {}; window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].variables.transactionId = 15617926256626; window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].variables.contentID = ‘thaus:en_US_18_Review_6152′; window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].links = window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].links || {}; window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].links['cb4e9faa316499175734610047'] = shopLinkJsData; window.raasOffers['EKZWVUD'].offerSource = ‘fallback’; } })();

Richmond: The state plans to mark four centuries of black history with a new exhibit and a tribute to tennis star Arthur Ashe Jr. The exhibit begins with the 1619 arrival in Virginia of the first enslaved Africans in English North America and continues all the way to the present day. “Determined: The 400-Year Struggle for Black Equality” will open Saturday at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture in Richmond as the city officially dedicates Arthur Ashe Boulevard. Renowned civil rights activist Rep. John Lewis of Georgia will be the keynote speaker. The exhibit features dozens of artifacts to tell the story of black Virginians, including slavery-era restraints, an African-inspired banjo and a stool from a Richmond lunch counter where students held a sit-in to protest segregation.

The 3D series features three horsepower levels: 25HP, 35HP and 43HP, a weight of 2,778 pounds and a hauling capacity of 4,000 pounds.

Yet runaway heating is an expected failure mode, so the thermal cutouts in the base unit should have tripped before the relay melted. If the software went bonkers, it might have just commanded the relay on, even though the sensor was not in water. That’s another expected problem: People turning on the kettle with no water. So even though the sensor is not in any fluid, the air in the pot might get hot enough to give the sensor a signal, or the cutouts should open. No, there’s something much more tricky and insidious going on here.

iPhone What can we say? It’s still got the best mobile browser around. It crushes basically everything but Android’s browser—which is also based on WebKit—in speed and outclasses its still classy brother-from-another-mother (and everyone else) with the ease and elegance of its multitouch zooming. Some pages still give it fits, and it’s missing Flash support, but it really does deliver an unrivaled mobile web experience. We love it, but make no mistake we’re eagerly waiting for something better. (Mobile Firefox? Is it you?) Grade: A-

Ohio is one of 36 states that require a front license plate, but none of the states bordering Ohio require front plates. Dealerships doing business across state lines have found it increasingly difficult to sell cars with holes drilled into the front bumpers in states that don’t require front plates.

One of the features on the 3D Series is the gear-driven transmission, with two ranges and four speeds each, offering a total of eight in forward and reverse. The location of the fender-mounted gear shift lever avoids the awkward movement of shifting gears between the knees. The rugged drivetrain and heavy-duty components, such as a large spiral bevel gear, provide more durability and increase torque and power to the ground.
