AMD NAVI would see three video card models, $249 RX 3080 close to RTX 2070
Quite a bit of information leaked onto the web over the last day or so, whether or not that information is correct remains to be seen. However, more info surfaced and it entails the pending GPU launch from AMD, based on 7nm NAVI.
Youtuber AdoredTV once again spreads out quite a bit of information about the next generation Zen processors (Ryzen 3000 ZEN2) however at the end of the video the end of the video, the Youtuber spreads word about another leak regarding AMD's future GPUs, codenamed Navi.
If the information is correct this line-up will exist out of three graphics card series to replace the current Polaris generation mainly. The naming would be 'RX 3000 series', opposed to RX 600. We'll quickly take you through the three products.
The Radeon RX 3060 would be the entry-level card and would have 4 GB GDDR6. Here I have reason to doubt, GDDR6 is a new type of memory that is very fast and new always is expensive. it would make little sense to include it onto an entry-level product So that raises a red flag as far as I am concerned. The product would sit in the $130 range
The second product would be the Radeon RX 3070, which replaces the RX 570. It would operate at Vega 56 performance at merely a TDPof 120 watts. IT gets 8 GB GDDR6 and would costs at $200 at minimum.
The higher end card would be the RX 3080, and also has 8 GB of GDDR6. At 150 watts it would be about 15% faster than the Vega 64 which is RTX 2070 territory. This card is tagged at $ 250 (which seems too cheap to be true).
We cannot vouch for the info that is spread, and as mentioned I do see red flags here. So as to what extent and how valid this information is we cannot tell. So please read and absorb this with a super big disclaimer in mind, the info could be incorrect. Extreme caution is recommended.
It is likely we'll hear a bit more in January from the CEO of AMD, Lisa Su, at CES.

You should really watch some more benchmarks before you speak. HD 7000 has left GTX600 in the dust. Steve from HU did a run of Hitman 2 on some older GPU's said 7970 is 20% faster than gtx680 at this point. 290/290X did the same with 780/ti. Then there was a 390/390X (a rebrand lol) that did the same with gtx970/980. The 980ti did a hold up againt Fury X tho and thats about it. Vega 56/64 are already faster than 1070/1080.
Nivdia focusing on RTX what you think it will happen with GTX series now? 2070 is beating the 1080 in most games now. You better buy your RTX cards lads.
I am very aware of current benchmarks maybe you shouldn't cherry pick your benchmarks. Hitman has been a title that AMD has always performed well in and I am sure you can figure out why... The Vega 56 launched faster than the 1070 and rivaled its own Vega 64 whats your point? The Vega 56 card also was not to be found near $400 msrp until long after mining declined. The GTX 1080 still performs better in more games than the Vega 64 all while maintaining lower temps and power consumption. Sure the Vega 64 takes the cake in some titles but it's not consistently better so you can take that argument back. RTX may not be the jump in tech any of us wanted but it still making great technical strides in the industry. Nothing else is happening so it's not like AMD dropped a bomb while Nvidia struggles with RTX. Meanwhile, I am just a happy gamer running a 1080 Ti reinforced by the lack of anything else out that is better aside from a $1300 2080 Ti. Speaking of 2080 Ti it's pretty interesting that the 2080 Ti has similar power consumption to the Vega 64 all while destroying performance of Vega at that power consumption.
Adding clarity again, I want AMD to make better GPUs. A great 1080 Ti replacement for me in the future would be great from AMD. This cherry picked argument for AMD isn't without bias and therein lies my problem with the argument. Only reason I am on the Nvidia side of the argument is because of the fallacy used on the AMD side by some of the posters in this thread.

I just buy what I want what I don't want I dont buy like duh who don't?
anyway why bring up intel why not Samsung or micron or even m$
as a monopoly?
see you seem to have vested amd close to your heart and that dick from yt does too so its a good match.
its called opinion you have to get used to it
you had your say now let people actually post about this red hype train news
I am such a nicer sheppard being holiday time and all.
Intel in a way can have monopoly on x86 by design. Samsung can't have monopoly on anything as each of their business is done by many other companies/corporations.
MS can't have monopoly on OS either. There are many alternatives. But in this case MS has quite strong grip and does its best to keep it. Fact that every manufacturer of PC/notebook ships almost all devices with MS OS prepaid by default...
On other hand, while intel can have that monopoly, it is not like there is only x86 on market. There can still be end of x86 era. There are many other CPU architectures with different or similar instruction sets.

Could bring up price fixing in dram market also but like you said this thread was about an invisible hype train.
About opinions you should get used to other people having their thoughts also, without you calling them sheep’s,dicks,etc
Peace now.
