** The AMD Navi Thread **

Yup ex-VAT, they add it right at the end the sneaky gits.

Haha I was looking for the 317.86 I thought he had missed quoted the 377.99 price.

 

[Ross Thomson]

For later reference, today's prices (12th July):

5700XT: £317.86

That is without VAT BTW

 

[Zernath]

That is without VAT BTW

Which we absolutely have to pay, without question.

Seems that Radeon VII is now officially pining for the fjords.

Only six months on the market... I guess the notion that it was just a quick stopgap until Navi was ready was entirely accurate.

5700XT is 317.86 EX VAT.
You can get 2070S here ; https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...ddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-43g-as.html

But only one of us is posting with an agenda.

Why do you think he's misrepresented both products? He's not done it in the name of fairness that's for sure....

The VII has been touted as EOL for at least the last two months

Tbh I can hear a cry coming from those playing Skyrim still. It was the go to card for the hard core wanted to use tonnes of mods.

Paranoid much? He missed the VAT on the Radeon and £475 for a 2070S is not realistic in the bigger picture, given stock shortages are pushing the prices up and that Asus you linked is only £475 because Gibbo made a deal with Asus to stay at RRP for this initial batch of stock.

So no, no agenda.

Indeed, and mine is going back to the rainforest tomorrow morning. I'm very happy with my new RX 5700 XT!

Alas I've never been in the enviable position of being able to dodge taxes. I've always had to pay my way, and then some.

one of the few benefits of being a business man.

EB Waterblock ordered for first week of August. We shall see how it fares against my wonderfully pretty 1080ti HOF with white acetal WB.

I might grab a 2070 Super once they calm down in price, I do not expect it will fare well against the 5700XT AE.

EK NAVI full cover block preview:

Even has the dint

@Phate ok I have a suspicion this is the Fluid series block. Given how exuberant the Vega Fluid block is looking, and we had already the images from the copper blocks.
Seems aluminium water cooling is the way to go now

AMD starts the gimping.

To be fair the latest drivers are probably more for the 5700 series.

Thanks for taking time to bring this to our attention. I'll flag this for our driver team to see if there is something going on in their testing or steps we need to take. I know they are pretty active here (as most of the Radeon and Ryzen teams are!) so they may already be taking a look.

 

[Terrorfirmer]

Does anyone here play Apex? I have a strange problem with my new 5700XT, the average frame rate is good but every other minute it'll just tank for a brief second and go back again...making playing the game extremely difficult.

Pretty much have everything disabled in the Radeon app....
