Still making those presumption I see. According to gibbo a 64 uses less than a 2080 and even so it the most pointless thing to argue a point on. Its almost like people fall back to when they can't argue about FPS.
Wondering also is Vega that heavily tied to HBM in its design they couldn't retweak the memory config, or have they sourced enough HBM and got the manufacturing better to put them together.
It would seem they are targeting high resolution, and to be honest don't blame them if they were, playing on my PS4 pro on my 43 inch 4 K TV is really nice.

Interesting comments from Lisa's uncle Jensen Haung spoke to PC World, said Radeon VII is underwhelming and it will not have ray tracing and AI support.

Since it's still a Vega card, I doubt there will be any increase from Drivers. It's not a new Architecture.
LOL Stop been so defensive. you asked where people were getting the power consumption, I told you.
I remember your posts back in the pre launch vega threads, you were as I remember very pro Amd but showing a technical and logical comprehension of fiji vs vega speculation. Unfortunately this forum clearly shows how defensive those few can be towards critiscm. I don't really comment on this forum much as my posts get ignored, but all i'll say is don't make too much effort in responding to those few.
This, they should've ditched HBM to bring the costs down more this card doesnt make any sense at this point in time considering this price/perfomance tier is completely saturated at the moment with the 1080Ti and 2080 basically competing with each other it shoudl've been cheaper than the 2080 atleast considering. I bet Nvidia cant wait for 7nm we'll be getting 2080Ti performance only at mid range for the same price as a 2080Ti if AMD keep this up.

I'm not I just dont see why people keep posing figures around when we haven't received any official information yet.

Absolutely agree. Nvidia pushed top tier prices to extortionate prices and AMD are following suit. It is at least allegedly competitive and cheaper than a 2080 so hopefully we will see prices at tier drop to more acceptable levels.

Wow, how pathetic from a CEO.
It great that they are going to turn on RTX and cripple the frame rate, and resolution for all of the games that support it... Oh wait that is like, 2 games or is it just 1?

I doubt it as nvidia will say the Radeon 7 as old tech and with ray tracing and dlss nvidia won't see the point in reducing to compete with what they see as old tech

Looks like a good alternative to RTX 2080, cheaper than main models and decent games bundle. I'll be sticking with RTX 2080 though, no need to upgrade for a long time.
RTX 2080 level of performance is more than enough for me tbh.
Either card is awesome xD

AMD's Official TDP for the MI50 is 300W. This is the exact same card, minus a few features to stop it interfering with Mi50 sales, but a higher clock speed. It's not really speculation to say that the Vega 7 will be around the 300W mark too.

Welp. Performance, decent. But then I saw HBM and knew what we were in for.
Pricing... why?
People thought AMD would be the 'saviour' and give us decent pricing. Just $100 less than what they announced would have been okay. And here in Blighty we'll get especially shafted due to conversion rates in the coming months. I bet Nvidia will easily drop their card's prices to crush any hopes AMD has. I just hope benchmarks are good. At least the wait isn't long.
On the bright side we finally have something from AMD to compete at the high end. If Nvidia were actually trying with their Turing cards, then this would have been game over. Nvidia's complacency gave AMD the chance here.

I don't know if I have been insulted or complimented
I agree, but, I can't help myself!!
Lol, neither does the 2080 in any meaningful way. To quote HardOCP, "RTX is a lie"
https://www.hardocp.com/article/201...nvidia_ray_tracing_rtx_2080_ti_performance/11
1080p with minimums in mid 20s when RTX is enabled even on a 2080Ti, using RTX in a 2080 (let alone a 2060 or 2070) as a positive selling point is BS plain and simple.
What do you mean if Nvidia were actually trying? what would they actually try with?
It won't matter what Nvidia say, lose sales to an AMD card the performs as well for cheaper then they will reduce prices. They did it with the 1080 after Vega 64 was released.
