Radeon VII

[nashathedog]

Sometimes sections can delay in uploading, but the products are instant, if that happens use this link:

In theory the Vega 7 should appear towards the top of that link around 14:00, even if the section does not go live.
No way of speeding up paypal, it is there end not ours.

Thanks a lot, I'll make sure to be there early, The early bird & all that.

Are reviews out today or tomorrow?

 

[nashathedog]

BTW, I also woke up today not feeling well

But...

I can't go into details about performance but I will say you will be surprised, just as I was. The new Radeon VII isn't perfect, but it's a damn good card that I'm excited to dive into with my full review on February 7.

Not long now.

I've run the 4k numbers through my magic, glowing abacus and VII is ahead on average 5.9%. VII wins big in some games, others 2080 wins.

I have no idea how Game Debate tests though. They may be testing how fast they can bowl the cards on a cricket pitch in Kph for all the methodology and test bed info they provide.

I'm guessing they've got an abacus too.

Me tomorrow at 9:00 am .... watching the clock.

 

[nashathedog]

Sounds credible, if it had the ability to pull shader performance from another dimension

Ooh, I saw someone working on that recently..

...on Stargate Atlantis.

I know but Sapphire have better after sales care should it be needed.

It'll be interesting to see what the warranty lengths are.

It's amazing that companies can't get a launch right numbers wise. Just pure incompetence. And then you get the "We're going to gouge to put people off buying it" line! Please. Selling PC components must be the most shady, Del Boy type business there is.

Agreed and if this was any other industry if you made a **** up this big you'd be sacked on the spot for losing the company so much money yet in the pc market it's fine

 

[Satchfanuk]

@Gibbo are you guys able to ship to BFPO sans the vat?

If the answer is yes, then I'm in

It is, yet again here we have a gpu launch and yet again low stock. This is the same for just about every big release and to be honest it's starting to stink. And if there is good stock we get the line about the "pound being weak" so again prices get bumped. You literally cannot win when it comes to these type of launches, the retailers have you bent over a barrel every time.

 

[Undesirable]

Looks tempting but the lack of waterblocks and low supply meaning I can't quickly get a card if waterblocks are suddenly announced puts me off.

I've already got a 2080ti block sitting around doing nothing because of the price and availability of that card.

To be fair with AMD even if they waited a few weeks they wouldn't have been able to produce any more cards due to CNY.

I kind of think it is planned to not release too many cards to try and build the hype nowadays. Especially with performance reviews not being able to be released until the same time.
It makes you want to buy it incase of FOMO. So it is a marketing tactic that they all use now.

No one is over a barrel. We’re talking about GPUs, not the withholding of life saving medicine or emergency food supplies.

Faster than ncrapia https://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=4092&gid2=4022&compare=AMD Radeon VII 16GB-vs-Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080

Swap out the 2080 for a 2080 Ti and those figures look very different.

https://www.game-debate.com/gpu/ind...Radeon VII 16GB-vs-Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti



All they did with the 2080 was find games and settings where 8gb of VRAM was not enough at 2160p.

Yeah, the biggest difference being the price of a 2080ti

Same here. I'm not sure whether to gamble and get a card asap with the potential that it's sat boxed for a month or two until a block is available. Prices could go up or down after launch and we don't have an ETA for a block.

On the other hand I might not be able to get a card when the block becomes available.

For the price of a 2080 8GB is miserly.

Just swapped out the Radeon VII for a RTX Titan v 2080 Ti at 2160p

Some of the figures are total rubbish.

They are having a laugh.

They can not even blame the drivers as both cards use the same ones.

Game Debate = Zero credibility.

Totally agree.

I am in the same boat really, I would like one but Gibbo says PayPal no good and too slow and I have plenty in there to cover it, but also would like to see proper reviews before jumping in and if like Vega 64
it might not be to long before prices drop especially if the reviews puts it close to a 2080 or good 1080ti and nothing outstanding, yes its good at Vulcan and DX11 but DX12 hmmmmm I am leaning towards reviews first even if I miss the launch card scramble to check out. I like the idea of one to play with but also don't want to pay premium for launch card only to find out from reviews its nothing that special.

decisions decisions

Tomorrow 2PM and we ship to USA and with pound still being weak it might be cheaper to buy from us.

Thanks boss Boss And yeah... Birthday on the 9th... so trying to keep my card away from things like this.. but you never know.... I do need a better card.. and have been reading review after review of 580's / 2060's/ 1080's/ vega 56/64/64lc etc. lol. Been driving my wife nuts.
