Apparently overclocking was broken in the review drivers so hopefully that will be sorted out quickly before the AIB cards show up.

I wouldn't rate it based on reference design overclocking after looking at the thermals from that blower cooler

They already have a driver out that fixes the overclocking problem, just didn't make it to the reviewers on time. But, they still that there won't be that much headroom in them.

The problem with the Reference cooler been so poor is that the AIB cards will be that much more expensive.

Loss leaders, as Nv knew what was coming so clear the channel with old (well 6 moth old ) product for the new parts coming in. Next you`ll see deep discounts on RTX 2080, down to the replacement cards price point when they arrive. Nv are doing what Intel should have done and discount to match.

What 6 month old product are you talking about? The 2070 is ~9 months old.

Oh bless you, are you paid for attacking AMD the way you do in a performance bonus by your employer then. Navi isn`t that good? Beats a £600 RTX 2080 in BF:V but apparently that isnt good. Time to quite the internet and get some fresh air, son.

Hahahaha still on that horse then, BF:V is one game, you know 1 comes after zero. and as said once the AIB coolers get fitted and the price jumps up even worse for AMD and the hyped navi. founders edition coolers knock spots off the blowers and only a fool wouldn't see that.

RTX 2070 on launch was £500+ for the available FE cards, these are more than £100 cheaper, so in that regard it has changed it. That and NV are in panic mode , by dumping 6 month old product (with on hand inventory as well ) and replacing it with binned product for less money. Job done by AMD then.

LOL. Nvidia in Panic mode. Man you really need to take those AMD tinted glasses off.

What a bizarre thing to say.

Read my edit - the 2060 is less than 6 months old and the 2070 is 8 months old.

It's called fact twisting. He has been doing it this whole thread so far. Not sure why, the Navi cards are decent cards, just not great cards, poor cooling, poor pricing and no real features that makes it stand out over the current line up of Nvidia cards, who are in PANIC MODE apparently.

Oh dear. I wonder how much inventory Nv have of `old` TU106 200 and 400 cores they will now have to repurpose since they had to panic launch a new product.

Looks like I'm buying my third ever Nvidia GPU then going for a 2070 Super skipping the 5700XT

Just can't stomach another blower from AMD

So you've spent ages complaining about performance/$ of the 5700XT even after the price cut, so now you are going to buy a card that has worse performance/$. There's nothing wrong with buying the 2070S as there is no competition, but seems a bit hypocritical.

The non-blower cards will be out in a month if history is anything to go by.

Oh bless you. I shall correct you then await your apology. The RTX 2060 was launched on Jan 15th 2019, that is 25 weeks ago or 5 months ago.

Edit: the RTX 2070 was launched October 17th 2018 - 38 weeks or 8 months ago

No he said he don't want a hair dryer hanging out the back of his PC and the AIB cards will be at the 2070s price point.

You clearly haven't been following this guys posts. So don't just interject with a tangent.

Also why do you literally make things up?

So an AIB 5700XT will have a $100 premium? What world do you even live on. There's only one reason I can think of that you'd make such crap up.

Do you know how much an AIB 2070 is? Exactly MSRP. edit: In fact recently a bit below MSRP.

I very much doubt that. AIB cards don't usually command £100 premium on AMD cards, £25/50 usually but they will most likely be faster as well bring them closer to the 2070s on performance while still being a good chunk cheaper. Just need to wait and see what these cards are capable of with decent coolers and proper software support when they arrive.

I think it will be good to review the value of these cards once the AIB models are out and the shops have stock of both RX5700s as well as RTX Super cards.

I just can't see it being ignorance when people post such rubbish. It's like they have literally entered the computing market and are making random guesses.

wait and see then, higher boost clocks, some 3 fan cooler and expect it to be a lot more. and he clearly states he cant put up with another AMD blower cooler. his money he buys what he wants.

Of course he can. But a complete hypocrite.

No I'm not.
I've consistently said everything on offer is pretty poor price/performance.

The 2070S also has higher performance overall without the caveats a 5700XT currently has.

It's going to be Vega all over again, patience will be rewarded.
