AMD Navi 23 ‘NVIDIA Killer’ GPU Rumored to Support Hardware Ray Tracing, Coming Next Year

On par with 3080 is not enough unless it's half the price. People have gsync monitors.. you need to intice them to change.

That thing looks a long way from mass production though. It makes me think it will be a while before we get these on shelves.

Has A0 on it, typically that means Production revision for testing before the A1 release. I suspect its a production sample they're testing in some way.

Depends how much you value Raytracing etc I suppose. To me, I care nothing for it. I am all about rasterization performance. If AMD can give me a 3080 equivalent for £550-£600, I would jump on it. Especially with more VRAM. But here's hoping they can do even better.

I have had equal amounts of AMD and NVIDIA cards in my lifetime and have had next to no issues with either. Radeon drivers have been solid. I don't mind going with either brand, but AMD typically brings the best value, and this time, may have something a bit special.

My last AMD card was the HD 4890. Loved that card but since then I've found AMD to be way behind..

I would expect the cooling solution to be an important part of the testing before production, and that cooler is a total work-bench hack-job. Don't get me wrong, I'm impressed with the resourcefulness of whoever cobbled it together, but I'm pretty sure it's not for production.

Anyone got a good idea what would be the best stop gap cheapy for 1440p ultrawide

Might source a cheap stop gap and wait this out

What they're doing with it may not be but based on the revision, I'd say they're at Production sample. So won't be far off based on their announcement date. Id probably say start beginning to mid Nov before it hits retailers.

Why would you need g sync if these new cards are supposedly hyped up to offer 100+ fps at 4k. Id also hazard a guess hardly anyone even has 4k g sync monitors. 1440p maybe.

And half the price? Why should a company devalue its product so massively.

I want to sell my 5700xt while it's worth something

Sorry for your loss.

I'm glad they've broken the silence. I'm looking to upgrade my CPU as well as GPU this year so I think I might resist the pull of the Nvidia 3000 series and see what AMD have to offer us.

Only problem is, availability is looking like November at the earliest, but I've waited 3 years to upgrade my GPU so what's another 3 months.

That looks like a prototype board final product does look like ages away...

 

[gpuerrilla]

Hmm so Jensen introduced the cards then just over two weeks you can place an order looks like the minimum timeframe to grab a card would then be mid November if similar principles applied. Will be good to see the hardware in the hands of leakers first before we can gauge whats likely here.

I think AMD are going to dethrone Intel for fastest gaming cpu and take out the 3080. Good vibes.

I hope so. Would love to see Jensen and the nvidia boys squirm

An AMD based system would completely destroy an Intel one for multi-threaded workloads (video editing, encoding etc) and I only expect that gap to widen with Zen 3

Intel still wins for gaming, just. But I wouldn't expect that to continue if AMD reduce the latency etc.

Sadly 95% of my usage is gaming and media consumption as opposed to multi threaded workloads.

I know AMD is the logical choice, but for a gamer.. who won't do multi-threaded tasks, its a difficult ask until games ever start using those cores.

If they can release a GPU which beats the 3080, I'd absolutely love it.

By the time NVIDIA do their presentation, the 3080 will be out in the wild so if they wanted to, they could actually provide benchmarks against it. Now if they did that, thats brave.

However I'm pretty certain they'll stick to comparing to last generation.

LOL yeah right they're gonna sell you this for £325 as an incentive. Allegedly More ram, allegedly same performance but half the price "just cause".

Can't be a prototype, it's an A0 revision.

Example: 2080 released on A1.

Just depends how many changes they need to make. Think of A0 like their release candidate, if they only have to make minor changes they go A1 and push it out. If they have to make big ones, they go upto B etc.
