That does sound like a rather neat gaming card too. I just think it's quite loud under load... might be a good candidate for non-reference coolers, if those come around.

It's more like an unreleased Vega60 at 7nm.
Interesting card. Considering its a Vega56 7nm this performance uplift is amazing. I im sure AMD will push 64cu 7nm chip later this year, maybe even before Navi hits.

Interesting performance. I only cannot justify that price for gaming only.
It's clearly a gpu for someone who needs 16gb vram and that huge fp64 performance for a mere consumer gpu. That's all.

Fantastic article as usual.
I think one of your phrases in the review summarize it very well:
Well, I feel this is a 499 USD product.
This GPU came too late and it's too expensive to compete on the gaming GPU market VS RTX 2080 performance.
At the same price there is no valid reason to buy this GPU instead of a RTX 2080 for gaming.

Best case is BF5 (surprise) where it is knocking on the door of the 2080ti and well ahead of the 2080.
Most cases its slower than the 2080 and actualy close to the 1080 in performance.
The light of hope is there but the drivers need to mature. (I'm still dumbfounded the AMD driver team can still launch a GCN based card with under-performing drivers).
The bad part is it spends a lot of time trading blows with a card that consumes 120W less power and the noise level at load.... I hope that's just a faulty fan and they aren't all that loud. Temps look great though (I would hope so with the sound produced).
