Faster Navi cards are coming there is no reason for R7 to be around. Still, this even beats nvidia gpu lifetime records. š

Doesn't surprise me, kind of seemed like a product designed to salvage some instinct cards. It's still based on Vega architecture and AMD will continue to support that with drivers, so I don't see the big deal really.

Let's hear it directly from AMD. More to it, let's see what the drivers update offers

That's some longevity for an video card.
As much as I like AMD, that's a faux-pas in my book.
Will keep this in mind, AMD.
Not a fan of planned obsolescence, and this move gave me pause.

It filled a gap until Navi. Still not a bad prosumer card.

They did say it was a stop gap for Navi drivers wise it's the same as the Fury so although they are end of life to buy, support for them will still continue.

Feel sorry for all those content creators and gamers who bought the card thinking they would have driver/manufacturer support for a couple of years.

I'm pretty sure GCN is sticking around though? They made it sound like they are going to be developing GCN concurrently with RDNA.

pfft, this card was a curiosity to most people, nothing more, being loud, noisy, hot, expensive, underwhelming performance for the price. I remember reading that it could have some niche uses in a professional environment, but as a gaming card it was never gonna be successful. An atrocious first stab at 7nm, goodbye Radeon VII!

There is already a leaked 5600, wouldn't be surprised if a 5800 or 5900 appears in a month or two
