Same for the lulz, but what a sad enditment on the state of the gpu market that would be lol

For everyone who doesn't want to spend £1400 for a high end GPU.
thats a nice way to backpedal, 'Therefore, in this incredibly simplistic example, it is cheaper to produce the cards using the smaller die.' But its not as your wrong. either way were done as this really cant go any further can it.
He is right! it is, nothing simplistic about it. Small dies are easier to produce and suffer less failures than large dies. It really is that simple. Take everything else away and two dies on the same node, one larger than the other and the larger one will have more failures / Dies not meeting the intended specifications.

High end GPU’s should be £400-500. Current pricing is crippling.
Okay thanks, as I am on the fence about the 5700XT Reference or RTX2070 Custom card atm.
The reference will be a horrible cooler, well for your ears at least, strange to put it up against 2070's unless your looking at blower 2070's for some sff build or sommot O_o

So regardless of anything else maybe this will finally put an end to the "Nvidia evil greedy overcharging corp Vs AMD the peoples company, heros of gaming who charge a fair price for good performance"?
It seems to be AMD have totally gone nuts of the value front and at a te when Nvidia are seemingly getting prices a "bit" more sensible
I wonder will these cards (blowers) be as good as the blowers in vega56 flavour, when it comes to undervolting and tweaking. My vega 56 blower I had a few months ago, was fine with undervolting to keep temps down. Didn't sound bad at all. A slight whoosh of air but nothing that bad really. Stock was a different story with fan noise, but with tweaking, it was a great card and decent dB levels on the ears.

Me. I just don't want to pay £500 for it
And mid-range performance shouldn't still be RX480 level. It should have moved on. Should ideally be 1070 to 1080 (non-Ti) level by now.

Apparently has a vapour champer.
Why not wait for custom 5700XT then? It won't be that much delayed, probably they will be coming out on July 7th also.
To which i thank thee

Nvidia are now the value champions(if you get a £300 RTX2060)!!
Nvidia must have been planning for something different with all these rumoured SUPER models. It would be hilarious if Navi launches into a midlife Turing refresh. It reminds me of the RX590 which was easily beaten by the GTX1660TI.Luckily AMD had to drop Vega 56 prices.

It will probably cause AMD to re think their prices?

This is the RX590 launch all over again in terms of positioning.
Care to quote relevant parts of that stupid long document to back up that 2 parts on the same node argument? Note my comment was two different size dies on the same process?
I could read the whole thing but seen as you already have...
Indeed. That was another bizarre card that no one wanted or needed at its price point.
I'm upgrading my full system in one go, since one my GTX660Ti's failed, so I prefer to get everything at once.
I don't mind waiting an extra week or two for the after market coolers.
Seems that way
