It's bizarre isn't it, the thread has been totally derailed with AMD pish. It's like trying to have a conversation about evolution without anyone mentioning religion.

Will Nvidia be selling 7nm graphic cards in 2019?

HD5770 vs GTX260.
HD5850 vs everything else.
HD7850 vs GTX750/950.
R9 290/290X vs everything else.
R9 295 vs Titan Z.
All of those give Nvidia a very hard time.
I suppose it depends on how AMD plan to use 7nm and what it offers to the firm. I can see a lot of opportunity for AMD on 7nm in more than just graphics cards. One thing is clear though, the market has a massive hole in the £2-300 graphics card bracket. We could do with another R9 290 from AMD to fill that.

Unless Nvidia release the x60 and bellow parts to test 7nm, i don't think they will have anything on 7nm this year.
Although V20 on 7nm will surprise people a lot and in good time.

The poster was talking about AMD offerings trouncing nVidia - none of those examples are true of that except for the 5000 series cards. (Well and the Titan Z which was a huge flop but nVidia still had the 780Ti SLI for those who wanted dual card performance which generally competed with the 295).
On release it took the 290 cards almost 2 years to catch up with the higher end Kepler cards across the board and while they might be the better offering these days that is so irrelevant in terms of competing with nVidia it's pretty laughable as a point in terms of trouncing nVidia.
Define trouncing in the modern age. A few of those examples "trounced" as they had no right beating cards in much higher price brackets.

Buy now play later. The DFS model.
I think Nvidia will have 7nm cards out very soon. The new cards seem very power hungry on 14nm and power use has been one of Nvidia's customers main concerns for many years. Maybe that's a factor as to why these RXT cards have been met with such a tepid response.
I thought V20 was professional only.Unless Nvidia release the x60 and bellow parts to test 7nm, i don't think they will have anything on 7nm this year.

It does seem that way, AMD users are trying to wish it into existence for the consumer space from desperation alone

Not just AMD owners. These high frequency HDR Freesync displays are looking fantastic. AMD must have something planned.

I really hope you're right, the AMD high-end really needs a boost!

Ah, the well respected wccftech.

HDR / Freesync is amazing for Xbox One X. I'm binning my Nvidia card shortly, just waiting on my VEGA to arrive. Then will try freesync out properly on PC games too.
Wander if AMD will deny drivers for these new GPU's prior to launch, release no performance figures and make reviewers sign a 3 year NDA too.. Oh wait that's just Nvidia.
Hopefully these aren't priced to fleece the very clothes from your backs and kidneys from your body's too.

Well that is good news, i am waiting for the 7nm release of navi.
Will give me plenty of time to save up my money between now and then.

Vega Instinct has been confirmed to release end of this year, having been moved forward a couple of months because TSMC's 7nm has been more successful than anticipated.
The question is though if we'll see any form of 7nm Vega for the consumer, given Navi is still over a year away.

Imagine a Vega on 7nm with DDR memory. Would be a bit of a cracker, and cheaper to produce without HBM.
Soldato
At the very least would need redesigned memory controller (beyond just a die shrink) for it to work, not for performance reason but for power draw reasons.
We do badly need some competition

I wonder if Zen and the mining boom have given AMD enough cash to spin Navi off into 2 memory directions? Keep the HBM version for the pro and datacenter cards, but branch off a GDDR6 variant for consumer gaming.
