The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

This thread has devolved into people justifying their Nvidia/AMD purchases so don't expect to actually get any new information anymore.

30/10/2020 Update!

AMD has supplied some benchmarks:

AMD tells me it's working on its own super sampling technology, similar to Nvidia's DLSS. It will be open and cross-platform, which could mean it'll come to Xbox Series X and PS5. DLSS is a game changer for Nvidia, so this could be big news.

Just in time for lunch. 24 minutes.. I can swing that (got a super critical 'heads might roll' project I'm working on though right now lol).

 

[Troezar]

Reminder already set on YouTube. A lot of comments on there already! Intrigued to see how in touch AMD are with the consumer and the current market.

Expect prices to be in the region of VEGA launch

$699 for 6900XT
$499 for 6800XT
$399 for 6700XT

The only thing certain is that everyone will moan about pricing no matter where the cards are positioned.

Yeah just waiting for the delusional console fans to come in and say "but my XBOX x has 8 cores a 3080 power and 16gb of ram and cost £600"

no mate, your XBOX X has downclocked AMD renoir CPU with RDNA2 strapped on. lol

Please don't **** it up AMD, my V56 could do with a nice upgrade.

No such thing as a bad graphics card, just bad pricing.

Why would it be that with the performance figures being banded around?

 

[Participant]

If the prices are good they'll just be impossible to buy. These launches might as well be in 6 months for the average punter.

That's what Lisa Su will be thinking (from a business point of view) as she jacks up prices

Looking forward to the reveal. Hopefully Humbugs train does not crash and burn again.

Its actually stressful trying to make the right choices with gfx cards this year, i have a preorder for a none OC 3080 but with gibbo confirming manufacturers are OC prioritizing, it makes me want to try my luck with AMD but fears are, is there stock, if preorder how far down the queue will i be compared to 3080 position, if no stock how fast will it come in, all too much for my tiny brain

 

[GAC]

needs a poll thread as well. will amd actually manage to not drop the ball for the umpteenth time today.
