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.

So they're comparing a 500 dollar video card to the 2070. That's not a good sign.

Considering that my oc gtx 1080 is on par with the rtx 2070 I am wondering which the sense should be by releasing something that will be on par with a 5 years old technology...wait...maybe I got the point...cash.

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.

rtx 2070 should be 499 as well, but is always sold higher. Amd cards generally drop in price after a bit.
Who bought a 1080ti at launch price definitely bought the most longeve card i heard of.

There have been 2070's selling for 469-479 since they launched.

This is what we know from rumours.

It also applies to the GTX 1080 owners...maybe better...the ti version did launch three months later.

2070 is faster than 1080 in every new game, especially ones using Vulkan. Same goes for 2080 vs 1080ti.

Well, did you ask yourself about about nVidia releasing RTX 2060 and lower GPUs since they already had GPUs in those performance ranges?
(And yes, GTX 1080 performs same way as RTX 2060. Compare OC to OC. Or Stock to Stock.)

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.

I expect the 499 card to be watercooled/VII Triple fan only, hence the price.
The 399 card will probably come with lower clocks/CUs and lesser aircooling.
Looking a lot like Fury and Vega all over again.
edit :at least its out of the door, and they can concentrate on the next stuff.

This sounds dangerous to me...
