I managed to get quite a good deal for the [Asus ROG Strix RX VEGA56 OC Edition 8GB (ROG-STRIX-RXVEGA56-O8G-GAMING)](https://www.asus.com/sg/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-RXVEGA56-O8G-GAMING/) on [Lazada](https://www.lazada.sg/-i206906986-s311863003.html). I got it for **S$499** which is a massive discount from the usual price of S$1,179. At first, I was wondering whether it is a fake since the discount seems absurd. Melvin told me that it is not, since he also bought the same thing. Upon further Googling, it seems Asus and AMD are running a promotion on selected graphics cards and hence the price is a steal. It comes with three years local warranty by [Asus](https://www.asus.com/support/Product/APRP/?lang=1033) and an [AMD coupon](https://www.amdrewards.com) that allows you to redeem two free games out of three from Ubisoft and Capcom. These three games are: Tom Clancy’s The Division 2,Resident Evil 2, and Devil May Cry 5.
