Sapphire Technology Product Manager Spills Some Beans on AMD NAVI
The actual page with information has been taken offline already but in an interview with a Sapphire Technology Product Manager at AMD 50 Gathering in China Product Manager Leo and Public Relations Director Jenny spilled some info.
The interview with Sapphire Technology Product Manager Leo and Public Relations Director Jenny at AMD 50 Gathering in Chengdu, China as spotted by Eric98k at Reddit. First off, there are no plans for Sapphire for a non-reference Radeon VII, which kinda makes sense so shortly before NAVI, neither was it expected.
However, confirmed to be released for NAVI is a water-cooled Poison Toxic. Toxic for Vega was canceled due to restricted margins. AMD seems to be tackling two price points for NAVI, one is priced at $499 and the other is $399, let's call them PRO and XT GPU versions for now.
The top model NAVI would be competing with and should be stronger than a GTX 2070. In the artciel, they deny the existence of a so-called “Big Navi” with 5120SP. Navi would be presented at Computex on May 27th, and the launch date is July 7th.
Take it all with a grain of salt and some disclaimers, please.

rtx 2070 should be 499 as well, but is always sold higher. Amd cards generally drop in price after a bit.
not sure where you live but....https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20601321556&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&PageSize=36&order=PRICE

the responses to this are (shall we say?) typical, from the typical camps.
1) there is no doubt a triple fan wc card will add expense - typically $75-100 at retail.
2) obviously, not all models of the top card will be wc, even if all aren't custom boards.
3) AMD cards have better drivers over time (aka Fine Wine). my Radeon VII is already 3-5% faster since launch.
4) the top non wc card should be $375-$425....which is much more mainstream, which is what Navi was designed to be.
5) given the efficiencies and power draw @ 7nm, wc Navi may not actually need wc....my Radeon VII doesn't (even tho' i do have it on a custom loop). i wc the Radeon VII more for noise than the few extra fps i get.

I'm not liking those price points. I have a feeling I might be waiting longer than I thought to do a 4K upgrade. But, if these are Sapphire's prices at launch day, maybe it won't be so bad; they are typically more expensive than others.
That doesn't make any sense... 7nm doesn't just magically make everything better. Relative to AMD's last gen stuff, it is an improvement, but you're comparing apples to oranges here.

Gpu's have really gotten stale the last few generations from both camps and AMD not competing at the top isnt helping. AMD on 7nm still wont be beating nvidia on 14nm which is bad.

DF video wolfenstein 2 even the 2060 outperformed 1080. Im sure Rage 2 and Doom result would probably be the same. 1080 cant even touch 2070 in such a titles.
Mute question is why is he still using 399.24 driver.
We are going offtopic here...btw I will happily give my scores here...or better I can make a video on how rage 2 is doing...please tell me which metrics we want to use, I mean...which fps tool you want me to use and maybe I will shut up the few of you still believing in nvidia sh*t.
Will give a FCAT try this evening and put the results.
