If you look at the owners thread people are having massive stability issues to the point that even shutting down the PC causes crashes, so you can add that to the list. It really is disgraceful, I thought my faulty 2080 Ti was bad but this takes the cake. If AMD thought this Radeon 7 would be a good PR move then they are crazy, I hope this level of incompetence doesn't spill over into their CPU division because they are doing great work there.After read all reviews and videos...
Not far behind RTX 2080 in new games.
Up to 25% SLOWER than GTX 1080 Ti in few years old games.
DirectX 9 games has rubbish performance.
16GB HBM2 with massive 1TB bandwidth saw no benefits in games.
No hardware Ray Tracing.
Too loud at stock 55.2dB.
LOUDER when OC at 63.7dB compared to Geforce FX 5800 Ultra dustblower's 58.8dB.
At 7nm it still used same TDP as Vega 64 on 14nm, too much power at full load in games with 100-200W more than my RTX 2080 at 12nm and even GTX 1080 Ti at 16nm.
£649 for 2 years old GTX 1080 Ti performance level.
Radeon VII is an EPIC FAIL!
People out there back in August 2018 was really extremely very lucky to grabbed second handed Zotac GTX 1080 Ti cards with 4 years warranty for £350 which was absolutely bargain before value prices went up.
I'm so glad that I missed out on getting one after seeing and reading all the reviews and all the instability issues people are talking about on here.If you look at the owners thread people are having massive stability issues to the point that even shutting down the PC causes crashes, so you can add that to the list.

I agree, Vega 56 and 64 are great value right now and with an undervolt overclock can come pretty close to the Radeon 7.I'm so glad that I missed out on getting one after seeing and reading all the reviews and all the instability issues people are talking about on here.
I opted for the Sapphire Vegas 64 nitro+ instead and it's a great card from what I've seen so far.
It looks like everything from the Rad7 itself to the launch has been a rush job botch up.
I haven't tried overclocking it yet but will do soon..I agree, Vega 56 and 64 are great value right now and with an undervolt overclock can come pretty close to the Radeon 7.
They'd definitely be making huge losses on each card sold then. If it had 8GB of VRAM I'd agree with you.Fail for me, I was really shocked when they announced the pricing for this. Just doesn't seem to outperform Vega/RTX2060 by enough to warrant being double the price.
I thought AMD had found their niche by not competing at the top end but instead offering value in the mid-range segment, but moves like this seem way off the mark. If I was going to spend that kind of ridiculous money on a GPU I would get an RTX2080.
What makes it even more bizarre is they have a massive hole in their own pricing as well, Vega64 costs under £400 yet this is £650? They should be pricing it at £499 to undercut RTX2080/1080ti
I think catch up is the wrong term. Thankfully for AMD this isn’t the fruit of their hard work, simply a salvaged ‘broken’ data centre chip that has been repurposed into a gaming gpu albeit at a huge noise/heat cost.It's neither a win nor a complete failure. Performance is where it should be for the cost considering the market it's been released into (which has now normalised very small peixe/performance gains generation to generation). It's efficiency is terrible when considering it's on the 7nm node. It's biggest issue is that it's direct competitor looks the better card overall, being faster on the whole while also being available with better cooling solutions.
That in itself is a problem as the 2080 was one of the most disappointing releases in some time. Still, it's good to see AMD offer performance at this level at last (even though it's only Nvidia's inertia that's allowed them to catch up).

They should have stuck 8gb on it and charged £400 for it. No point giving it 16gb it will never use.
I mean the 2080 is a rip off too but at least for the same money it has a new bit of tech (rtx)...No point giving it 16gb it will never use.

This product just makes zero sense for the gaming market.
