ASRock Radeon VII Photo Leaks - It's Reference Based
It won't be much longer before we'll see the first product available for VEGA20, aka the Radeon VII. While it is still a little unknown if there will be custom AIB products we do know that the AIB will do an AIC, e.g. they will sell the reference products.
The first photo on that has surfaces, it's ASRock with the Radeon VII PhantoM gaming edition totally based on a reference design aside from a fan sticker, and who knows perhaps some backplate changes as well. Looking at the box we see the confirmed thing like a 7nm process, 16 GB HBM2 memory with a bandwidth of 1 TB per second and that Freesync 2 HDR support. The Vega II or Vega VII logo has now also been confirmed. The new graphics card should be on the shelves by February 7 and is priced at 699 USD.

I hope it comes soon. I'm about to drop on a new GPU, and I'm waiting on the Radeon VII review to see if it could be worth it.

for $150 less money with 100% compatibility with Freesync I & II (HDR).
variable refresh does work with freesync monitors, i've played my laptop's gtx1070 on my freesync office monitor...but there are levels to the compatibility and HDR is not one of them. you will only get HDR for g-sync on g-sync II (or deluxe) monitors.
furthermore, LFC is limited for the lower range of fps on freesync with nvidia cards.

I dont see the point of this GPU.
The vega 64 stock reference is already faster than the 1080 stock reference so what is the point in replacing that card with this one.
Power is no different and the architecture is the same,
If they just used their heads and dropped the clocks 10% to slash the power usage in half they would only need a single 8 pin. But noooo this is AMD' they enjoy alienating everyone with insane power usage for single percentage performance gains. Just constant face palming

Do you live in a country with serious power shortages, or something? Government is pressuring the citizens to only use x kWh per month?

Well my Samsung C27HG70 can have both VRR and HDR enabled on it with an nVidia card with no troubles @1440p 144hz. FarCry 5 works perfect with HDR and VRR. All I had to do was turn on FreeSync Ultimate/2 in the monitor.

Yes that's really cool. I'm seriously considering getting this monitor as well. The fact you can do VRR and HDR on both AMD and Nvidia makes this a very good buy at this price.
