I want to see JayZ2Cents and Steve Burke have to change their CPU test rigs to a Sapphire RX 3900XT and their GPU test rigs to Ryzen 5900XT.

That would be so delicious and don't dismiss one of those coming to pass, I'm investing in Popcorn :D

Is the 5900XT a new card?

Gamers Nexus had a video yesterday saying they were going to use an Intel and AMD based test bench for the new GPUs due to PCIe 3 vs 4 differences. Not sure why you would pick them up on CPU choice since pretty much all of the YT people are heavily pro-AMD for CPU?
 
The RX 6000 cooler design image and fortnite stuff was just a distraction and whether you liked it or not, most of you lapped it up :D

I wonder if Series X SOC yields will be affected?

Rich old dudes? LOL... if you think everyone over 14-24 (by far the biggest age range category of Fortnite) is 'rich' then you really do live under a rock. :D It is a fact however, that on average people of an older working age will have more disposable income to spend on expensive GPU's

I'm not offended BY Fortnite, I was just irked by the principle AMD making such a targeted release of news that is significant to all AMD fans. If you don't agree then that's fine.

Each marketing strategy has it's pros and cons, in this case there is a very popular game, the average user base is young, who are relying on their parents income -> When they see these products in the game, they are targeted with the message - This is what You need ... for whatever reason, so they go to their parents/grandparents to get these cards.

I play now WoW Classic, that is a good, mature (but also a lot of female and young players) but still funny and helpful community, I can expect the community of Fortnight is cool too for their audience. I never played that game btw.

In short get most popular games, feed the information and show the product is as cool as that game -> higher chance to win. Build the brand image for your targeting audience in that game. 79 million players maybe not wrong.
 
Is it a render or is it real? difficult to tell these days but there is a lot of detail in it, grain in the plastic ecte...

Boom!

Time for some baseless speculations. It has been shown that 5700XT does benefit from PCIE 4. What if they have certain features that rely on PCIE 4 and wish to show it off with a Ryzen 5000 rig.

If we consider the Halo effect to be real. Even if these "kids" can't afford a big navi product they could afford anything AMD releases lower down the product tier. A good way to win mind share if they make AMD GPUs the "cool" card.

Wait until you hit 48 :p In all seriousness the old adage of "use it or lose it" is very true. My mum has two neighbours, one 90 and the other 95, still doing their own gardening and cooking their own meals. My mum in her 70's tells them they're not helping her ( when she needs jobs doing) :D

Nvidia seem to think the "kids" can afford an Ampere card to beneft from the RT and DLSS upgrades, so clearly there's a market for AMD to tap into too. I wonder if AMD would bundle some kind of booster with a RX 6000 purchase that kicks in on the AMD maps? Buy Big Navi, get X booster, pwn chumps on the AMD maps.

If we consider that some parents are paying for Fortnite Tutors, such a deal might have stock flying off the shelves.

I could see some sort of tie in happening on release. Get an exclusive skin or in-game currency for Fortnite.

I can't believe people are pouting because AMD stuck the teaser in fortnite. Well they got all of us hook line and sinker because we are talking about it.

It is a good looking card, good to see that AMD have decided not to shoot themselves in the foot with a rubbish design.

Is anyone keep track of all the ways AMD messes up their own GPU launches? It seems like we can cross off rubbish reference design from that list.

Yep thankfully blowers are a thing of the past. I loved the performance of my 290s but they were hot and noisy and felt and looked cheap compared to my FE 980TIs.
