AMD Radeon VII Unboxing (a bit of a photo appetizer)
In merely a few days AMD will officially release their new Radeon VII. Today youtubers can already do a bit of unboxing, and as such, I wanted to show you a few photos of the new Radeon flagship consumer graphics card as well.
The photos that you see below of packaging, are of course NOT the packaging you'll find in stores. AMD has sent out really nice media kits including an acrylic stand on which you can position the card, for a bit of display nirvana. What's interesting is that AMD also included a dummy VEGA20 GPU. There are non-functional GPUs that have likely failed in the fabrication process. That, however, does bring a nice close-up view of that GPU.
We talked about Vega 20 many times, it is the 7nm Vega iteration of the existing GPU. The GPU is paired with 16GB of HBM memory and can Boost towards the 1800 MHz ranges. Interesting to see is that the card PCB is quite long as the cooler is based on triple fans. AMD expects a 25% performance uplift out of the product with the same amount of power (VEGA10). In some slides, it's shown that the card performs at a GeForce RTX 2080 performance level.
Radeon VII is set to be released later this week at a price of 699 USD. The card is based on 7nm production of the Vega GPU, but now is paired with four 4GB HBM2 graphics memory packages. Click the photos below to check out the product and GPU, all photos shown are taken in-house at Guru3D.com

Awesome, so identical to the 2080 FE. Thank you both, will wait for the benchmarks to decide between selling the 2080 + EK waterblock and buying the VII, or adding the 2080 to the custom loop

Like the trend toward more simple looking shrouds. Sick of putting batmobiles inside my PC.

It is going to be very interesting to see how this puppy stacks up against the GTX 1080 Ti and RTX 2080. I expect a 100 dollar price drop to happen on both the 2080 and 2080 Ti if this card matches a 2080.

Looking forward to the reviews of this...even if it's just to see any AMD card being put up against nVidia's high end again for a change.

The VRM design is really powerful already. Could be for AIB usage, however, remember. The Radeon VII is released with 60 compute units and this 3840 shader/stream processors. AMD could always release a 64 CU version with the full 4096 stream processors. This PCB would give them leeway/flexibility.

I expect that too. Still, if its equal or slightly better than the 2080, I'll bet there will not be enough to go around and may be out of stock more often than not. In which case Nvidia will grin and bump their prices back up.

Considering the RTX line hasn't sold as well as Mr. Leather Jacket expected, they might indeed take this opportunity to drop the prices. Otherwise I wouldn't expect it.

And hats off to AMD because you see all those VRMS with the sign on well they are all very high end like you'd find on a 2080ti Lightning Z or HOF cards. Apparently they are the best and most expensive.
It also could be that OC'd this thing needs a lot of juice hence needing better vrm power phases/switches.

Why would Nvidia drop the 2080 price if the Radeon VII matches it while costing exactly the same? Makes no sense.

Looks OK. Larger distances between VRMs leave more mass (PCB) to sink and radiate heat from them. Card could clearly have more condensed PCB and that 3rd fan could just blow air through radiator unobstructed by PCB. And they did similar thing in past. Interesting choice, makes me wonder.

I think that in near future we gonna see Games run better and better with AMD's Hardware, Since now- AMD got the Cash to spend on Optimization by Game Dev's, Lisa was asked about it and how this Cash-flow helps Radeon and she explained that it Helps them to work with Game Developers to start optimizing for their GPU's, this cost $$$$ and finally they are at place that they can afford it.

Nice! I have a feeling it is going to stay really cool from the looks of it. Looking forward to the review late night/early morning, thanks Hilbert as always.
One thing is for sure this will be the first Desktop GPU to run RE2 Remake on Ultra Textures with out going into the red , I still don't know what that game is doing that it eats so much video memory.

Hopefully we see a full die version of this card and prices will drop on the at some point in the near future.
