Nvidia CEO: "Radeon VII is lousy and nothing new"
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made some unusual harsh remarks on yesterday's announced Radeon VII from AMD. In an interview at PC World he mentions this: “The performance is lousy and there’s nothing new,” Huang said.
He finds the product underwhelming and then went on and says: “[There’s] no ray tracing, no AI. It’s 7nm with HBM memory that barely keeps up with a 2080. And if we turn on DLSS we’ll crush it. And if we turn on ray tracing we’ll crush it.”
He then added some more, “It’s a weird launch, maybe they thought of it this morning,” Huang then stated. Huang spoke before a small group of reporters and addressed a wide range of topics. It is very unusual harsh language from the CEO to talk down a product that is not yet on the market. The new Radeon XII will not be available until February 7, no objective independent reviews have been published yet.

Most important thing is that his cards just works.
We cant wait for that 1180 cards, Jensen.

Hmm, would he describe performance of 2080 lousy too then?
I know that the Vega II will have worse performance per watt but considering the fact that this will be an equivalent of nVidias Titan but for a lot different price... well I would not call that lousy at all.

Sounds like someone is afraid of something. You don't go trash talking a rival unless you're worried.

That's just flat out disrespectful, and makes you look really ignorant considering you're a CEO.

Harsh words. I sense a bit of stress. RTX sales are slow and Nvidia actually lost half its value in the past few months.
anyhow it seems like Nvidia is going to play alone in the GPU market for now.

11XX make no sense for me, Nvidia is all about RTX this RTX that.
I think the 11XX were made as a backup plan if sales are weak or if AMD poses a real threat.

I haven't owned a Radeon card since the 9700 Pro and wouldn't mind jumping ship if their most recent offering is competitive enough. I'm tired of nvidia's arrogance.

Just goes to prove that Nvidia are bullies. Who cares about Ray Tracing? I don't. Should'nt have someone working for them with that attitude. Counter-productive if you ask me.

I must admit he does have a bit of a point but then anyone in the know already knew this was mostly a Vega 64 die on 7nm with some mild tweaks. His jerk statement pretty much is how the entire company operates. We didn't know if they would have a consumer version which is nice they did that especially for folks that like to hobby in content creation.

Did someone shit in JHHs sweaty jacket this morning? Quite unprofessional and harsh. I long for the day someone competent took over his job.
Until then, JHH should just shut his mouth and keep working on better products himself. I want something faster than my 1080Ti but 2080Ti doesn't cut it. Ridiculous price and lousy performance considering last gen and the price hike.

Heh, maybe this release caught him and his plans on the wrong foot? Maybe he was upset because his distant niece was stealing his black leather jacket for the announcements?
On a more serious note, what does he think he's talking about? RTX which works in close to no game? Or DLSS which does work in close to no game? If he only could turn on those things he might indeed have a clear advantage... right now he does not
