Radeon VII

[JediFragger]

I wonder if they'll do the same thing they did with vega launch and offer the card for a low price for a certain amount of time a V7 @£400 would sell like hotcakes

More likely the £650 rrp IS the starting point, and might spike (esp with rumours of the miners loving them due to 16GB of HBM2).

No but offering it with 3 games worth £150... In addition with AMD not selling in UK directly, expect the price to skyrocket after the first week.

Go to 54:40, they install it and show the fans running but that's it.

No backplate on that one which is strange.

One thing I am curious of, is I wonder how well this thing will OC.

When is this overpriced card released again?

They're not worth £150 though, they sell for £50 in the MM.

However if you want to play those games, they worth £150. 2 games of that list I want to play and given their prices I am saving £100.

Do AMD still lock the free games into your account or can they be sold on ?

The 2080ti 2080 2070 were release a few months back the 2060 was released recently XD

Yes they were at crap value for money. Seems amd is following suit.

It will be £50 cheaper than a 2080 by the looks of it, which to me is all raytracing and dlss is worth currently

Was on the hardocp front page, got removed for some reason.

If it is like far cry 5, you need to have a graphic card running the offer when you register the code.
So RX500s and Vega only.

Yeah it's a little daunting, I've put my custom water cooled vega 64 on ebay to sell in preparation for this golden day, but not having any news other than 7nm 300w might be 2080 level is either a really bad sign, or a REALLY good sign and that we might be blown away

What are you really expecting? AMD have given there official number, around 15-40% over a V64, averages mostly in the 20-25% range.
Reviews will liekly show performance slightly worse than that but these are the ballpark figures.

Theonly relative unknown is stock/supply. if some rumours are true availability will be poor and prices will thus get pushed higher.

It's just a very expensive card to build. If rumours are true an issue with Navi was found late in the day forcing AMD to release a card they never even wanted to make.

Rayfield was disengaged and very superficial. He would delete all his emails each week that he could not get around reading and would never work weekends or after 5 PM. He would pontificate in an abrassive manner and couldn’t remember any names [ of his peers].

Rayfield denied to Lisa Su that there was a talent problem and that the talent that had recently exited form AMD wasn’t actually an issue. He diend that there was a talent war going on [Usman: You can read up about the talent war here]

He presented suggestions that werent really feasible such as ‘Radeon VII ‘ which was to be a Vega 20 based consumer facing part that cost $750 to build and would barely tie in with an [NVIDIA] GTX 1080 Ti.

Vega VII is a stopgap, built at high cost, to keep AMD relevant in the high end until Navi is ready.
