AMD teases new Big Navi Graphis card and Ryzen 9 5900X combo
You probably have not missed it but in its presentation today AMD also gave away a sneak preview of Big Navi, the GPU importing the next generation Raytracing capable graphics cards from AMD.
The sneak peek was just that though, showing the card and some game performance. In Borderlands 3 with the Ryzen 9 5900X and a 'Radeon 6000 Series' card reached over 60 frames per second at 4K (which is RTX 3080 territory). In addition, the combo manages to achieve a frame rate of 88 fps at the same 3840 x 2160 resolution in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with the quality settings on Ultra. Gears of War 5 achieves 73 fps at Ultra. That again is RTX 3080 territory. The real problem, however, is that it is unclear how exactly AMD tested the games. Be it with an integrated benchmark, if available, or with a real game scene. AMD doesn't go into that exactly.
AMD specifies the Badass preset from Borderlands 3, the Ultra preset from Gears 5 and "Ultra" from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Modern Warfare has no presets at all, presumably it is simply the maximum graphic details, but probably without ray tracing. Borderlands 3 would run in the highest possible level of detail, while Gears 5 has two higher levels of detail. In addition, DirectX 12 is used as the API.
The official presentation of the Radeon RX 6000 series based on RDNA 2 will take place on October 28th . Availability and first tests can be expected in the following weeks, probably in mid-November.

Soooo... the chip/card is basically ready.
And still more than 1 month away from availability.
Which can only mean one thing:
Drivers still suxxorz.
But at least they are giving themselves time to iron out the bugs, so the story on the Navi (1) black screen and such doesn't repeat.
Hopefully smooth launch !
OR, they just dont wanna make the same mistake that NV did. Making a rushed release with low amount VGA-s available on stock, and even those are untested and crashing...

The top card , 6900 , still respectable performance as the price will make it a good value .

Nope, they said nothing about it... just 6000 series.
edit: Lisa held the "big navi", but the performance demo they showed said nothing about exact card.

the benchmarks they presented showed its 10% slower than RTX 3080 (which means its probably less).... I dont know if they got any RT acceleration but since it could be their first card with it its probably much much behind the current RTX cards....
Bottom line - over hyped and nothing impressive here....
Over hyped? Who exactly has been hyping it? In practical terms, I have witnessed zero hype for it. AMD hasn't been able to keep the lid on it as well as Nvidia (which cost Nvidia a lot due to the partners being unable to test their products properly), but there's still no hype that I can see. AMD itself has barely said anything about the product, aside from the scattered lines that they want to return to the enthusiast sphere once again. In fact there wasn't that much concrete hype for Ampere either because nobody knew anything about it, barely even the name Ampere. Sure, lots of people were looking forward to it, but that's hardly hype. It seems to me AMD learned the harsh lesson with that computer card VII. After all, the first Navi wasn't hyped either. AMD never pretended it would be more than mainstream.

Well..considering they made the standard for ray-tracing on the consoles I would assume the performance regarding that would be solid.
