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

Can't wait for HH's review!!
As a few others mentioned If possible to check undervolting performace too, that would be great!

Surprised we havent seen the MI50 tested or reviewed on the web yet (released last November?). As that may have given us an indication of some sort as to the thermals or other performance characteristics vs the R VII.
edit: the MI50 is passively cooled, no fans. Guess gaming workloads are far more intensive than pro applications.

Think about this 16GB HBM2 card and the future Navi based cards with Freesync 2 HDR 10(and the future HDR 12) playing Cyberpunk 2077 (maybe will be on DX12),GTA VIce or Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC on glorious 4K+ HDR 10 monitor.
More pressure on devs to have HDR 10 implemented in their games will make gamers happy.
If Radeon VII will be on par with RTX 2080 after 6 months of optimized driver then everyone will be happy.
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.

One thing I noticed is the radeon badging on the side covers exhaust area for the cooler. Hope that doesn't effect anything. Overall great looking card.

Steve from gamers nexus mentioned that and how it wont be abstracting airflow. He also said how nvidia is doing the same.

That PCB has 'workstation' written all over it.

I wonder if another brand will release a NANO version? Lots of empty space on the that PCB but otherwise looking forward to Hilbert's review.

Hilbert are you allowed to comment on the double precision 64 bit compute speed?
Some say its full M150 speed and other say it is limited to 1/4 or 1/8 speed, to not compete with the M150.

It's 1:8 - AMD confirmed it to Ryan Smith.

It's a gaming targeted card, so obviously they have limited fp64 perf not to canabilize the Pro range. By how much you'll be able to read in the review. Well what do you know, look at what Denial wrote there.

^ I second this
@Hilbert Hagedoorn ,
Sir, could u please add an undervolting page or include in the overclocking section ? As we all know by now, vega were excellent @undervolting. Pleasee

They appear to be specifically mentioning the graphics creator side of things for these.

8k test per request please, make use of that 16gb hmb2 to good use and really puts tremendous stress on the card, thus, shows off the card what it really can do, if it does 4k 60fps with ease, next step up, put the card even under more stress then compare results, widen the gap even further, yum yum yum...
Speaking of which, if people is interested in 8k in general, even though it is very very extreme minority of people out there such as myself, might want to take a look at this:

So we can easily add +15-25% FPS above Vega 64 LC at ~220-240tW (BIOS Board TDP is at 264tW 0% Power Slider, like with Vega 64)
Those 1TB/s is just awesome, for 1440p & 4k.
