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

my rtx fluke-duke 2080 is on repair, when service is done il try to swap it for Vega VII as i dont want to wait another month or two before it dies again (artifacts)...
i know it will be power hungry and with no rtx(no real benefit from it afterall) but still fluke just doesent seem to be a card that will work in long term usage.....i am totally disappointed in this rtx series.

I'm wondering if i should swap my 1080 for this.. I mainly do editing on the gpu though, not sure if i'll see any benefit.

Unless you know you'll use the extra VRAM, I'd say the upgrade isn't worth it. I wouldn't be surprised if this is faster than a 1080 but not enough to warrant the price tag.

Maybe those empty VRM area gonna be the AIB partners option to Upgrade the card for better OCing?

it looks empty because the HBM memory is on die...

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.

With a card like that I'd never need to worry about maintaining 60 fps in Arma 3.
Edit: Until, of course, Arma 3 starts to misbehave on its own.
