Nein. Historically 6/7 weeks after launch. Usually worth waiting for with AMD cards though, and expect an additional premium.
Have they confirmed there will be AIB models?
There are none for Radeon VII.

It has already bitten them in the ass. Nvidia have made astonishing profits meaning they can plow even more money into buying people off (a little harsh phrasing) and into research.
Yeah ASRock were showing off some cooler designs, and Sapphire have already stated their cooler designed cards (including a Toxic) will come around 8 weeks after launch.
They don’t unless of course they actually hope to sell any. There are already GPUs on the market that offer what these new cards have. Unfortunately the existing cards are more efficient and have features that the AMD cards don’t have such as RTX, power efficiency.
If your offering into a market a card that at best offers parity then why would anyone buy it over the market leader?
It either has to be better or cheaper of which it’s neither.
My comment about competing was meant at the very very top end. Why does AMD have to compete at the absolute top end ? It doesn't. Yet people whine about it.
As for Navi, I get the point about RTX ... then again ... at this stage, RTX still is not really much of a selling advantage yet either (imho).
I think nvidia will drop the 20xx super and rename it the 20xx mediocre in line with AMD’s offerings.
Nothing surprises me fortunately, I may even be in the market for a 2070 today as yesterday I was in The market for a Navi card.
AMD aren't competing at the top end.
But Navi so far is good mid tier performance at a none mid tier price.
I pauid 590quid for WATERCOOLED 980ti 5 months after it came out...Depends what Mid Tier pricing is these days. The 2070 release with a price of $599 for the founders and $500 as the actual RRP. The 5700xt is $450 rrp and $500 for 50th edition card. So the 5700xt prices are in line with the new mid tier Nvidia prices while being a small bit faster. It's utter crap as we all know that this ain't mid tier pricing but if they both decide it is then not much we can do bar vote with our wallets.
What does that have to do with anything anyone has posted here?
Most of us are saying "Why is this 2060 perf card £380? And why is this 2070 perf card £450?"
Deflecting, again, because I suspect even the AMD fans are disappointed with reality.
It wasn't 80% 4 years ago

970 was most popular but only 6% had one, Nvidia had a 53% share with AMD users being 27% and the rest on integrated graphics, also interesting back then only 35% were on 1080p
Vega 56 after all this - card (GTX 970) died a couple of weeks ago.
