AMD will “talk more” about RDNA 2, its next-generation GPU architecture, during its upcoming Financial Analyst Day.
Building on the RDNA architecture introduced with AMD’s Navi graphics cards over the past seven months, the chipmaker is promising to spill the beans on its 7nm, ray-traced successor on March 5, 2020.

Only a month away, hopefully they don't botch it up and we see the cards fast rather than in October.
We will see Nvidias hand in late march at gtc too, exciting.
 
All very good times and I have been itching for a reason to move from my 1080ti for a while, when I finally do I'll have had 3 years out of it which has been fantastic.

I'd hardly call it credible information :rolleyes:, it doesn't even mention in which metric/function it was 75% faster, plus they were talking about Volta. As with every rumour, I wouldn't take it at face value.

Until we see reviews and benchmarks that show where it's faster, I don't believe a word of it.

IIRC nVidia marketing said 20 series was 10x faster than Pascal but they didn't mention until later that was only at raytracing, which pascal wasn't designed for and didn't have the hardware to accelerate it. :rolleyes:

At traditional rasterization, only the 2080ti beat the previous generation.

Nvidia's marketeers are very good at building hype and all these leaks from them about "50% faster and 50% less power" and now this "75% faster" rumour... next week it will be 100% faster and the hype will go into meltdown. :D

Let's just wait and see what AMD and nVidia have to say once the hardware is out and we can really see what the performance is like. :)

Nvidia suffered reputation damage for that, I for one can say that as an Nvidia customer. What was truly an eye opener though was how few hardware reviewers truly called them out on it or tried to dodge the issue.
 
There is no way in hell RDNA 2 desktop GPUs are coming out before the consoles. AMD may well talk about their GPU roadmap in March, but that doesn't equate to tangle products coming this year.

Lisa Su may well have said "we'll talk about 'Big Navi' this year" but that's not the same thing as RDNA 2. Hell, I'd be very surprised if the name carries over.

I'm still calling it: 56, 64 and maybe 80 CU RDNA 1 products landing late Q3 this year, matching and beating Turing. Blow minds with the new consoles at Christmas, then tease RDNA 2 products at CES 2021 which have parity with Ampere "only" 6 months later, rather than years later.
 
Problem with that is that six months down the line everyone that wanted a high end card will have already purchased Ampere cards.

I was under the impression this card will be on 7NM+ too. I am going to predict that the re-brands will be Radeon RX 6000 and the RDNA 2 cards will be Radeon RT 6000.

If the 3080ti is 50-75% than the 2080ti in rasterisation, i'll do a John Macafee.
