Has the Sapphire disappeared or is it just me?

Not a fan of that Saffy card, it does look rather cheap, not pleasing to my eye anyway. Obviously only really matters if on show in a case with window but it's not doing it for me.

Wish I could find it in a pound shop

Yea I wish I could to

It's just the bad lighting/render imo, the 56 Pulse is fine and of good quality (this looks v similar)

Proper product photos to follow later.

MSI 5700XT Evoke - very classy looking card!

I'm not a blingy person, but I would buy that, you can bet it would hold its resale value very well indeed. Interesting to see how it performs.

Is high-end Navi expected this year or is it 2020?

Is high-end Navi expected this year or is it 2020?

It's not expected any time, there have been no official announcements. That being said, there is rumour that we'll see the 5800 pair at CES, possibly even a paper launch at the end of the year.

As for the "high end" if you're referring to as big as the card will go then it won't happen. "Navi 20" is probably not going to be RDNA 1, it'll be RDNA 2 along with the console chips. I don't expect to get even a sniff of that until middle of next year.

Edit - Ok weird, I turned VSR on and off and it's sowing the info!!



Hey guys, picked up a 5700XT earlier and having a bit of an issue where Wattman isn't showing me any info (and MSI isn't either nor is the built-in AMD Perf monitor). Same issue as this guy here (his number 1);

Anyone able to shed any light? I used DDU etc and have tried to reinstall 19.7.5 but to no avail...

I see the price on the 5700XT Strix has already dropped from £530 to £499. Maybe all the decent looking competition? Probably still too much for many but the GPU market is still about £100 over priced at this level. Sadly I don't see it improving any time soon.

I get this same issue, no one has been able to provide a reason for this, I am assuming the latest 1903 windows update is largely the culprit as I am running this version of windows.

VSR also seems to be having a funny issue, however I've done what you did, turn it off and on but I then run into some instability.

I am hoping its nothing to do with a bad bios on the card because that means exchanging the card and being without it.

 

[JediFragger]

Running 1903 too, but no instability of yet.

If it does come, then it's probably not going to be this year. We desperately need a high-end AMD though, if only to give people more options!

Gotta say @Panos I'm really impressed with CAS and Division 2 atm, it's subtle but looks fantastic

TD1 and 2 are games that massively benefit visually from resolution scaling, super-sampling type techniques and post-process filters like sharpening (though they have some built in options in that regard) if you have the GPU horsepower.

Yeah I have it max'd out (HUB quality settings) along with CAS and it looks fantastic and maintaining 75fps with the odd drop into the 60s

AMD Submits Navi 12/14 & Arcturus GPU Support Code For Linux 5.4 Kernel Queue https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMD-Navi-12-14-Arcturus-DRMNext

I think Navi 12 has to be a ~150 sq. mm GPU, while Navi 14 <100 sq.mm (70-80 sq.mm) GPU.
Arcturus has to be the Vega replacement.

I actually didn't really see that big of a difference. Tried 5K & 8K for both. It's good, don't get me wrong, but the game has that post-processed look where it doesn't make as much of a difference as in something like Ryse, DXMD, etc. And a big factor in why this isn't as impactful is also the still quite limited LOD loading distances and the like.

If you look at something like Watch Dogs 2 it makes waaay more of a difference due to how many (and good) LOD options that game has.
