The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

[Besty]

Has anyone seen what the full physical dimensions for any of the 6000 cards are? The AMD website lists all of them as 267mm long but the only other sizes noted are that the 6900XT and 6800XT are 2.5 slot cards and 6800 is 2 slot.

I'm trying to figure out whether I can squeeze one of these (or a 3080 for that matter, tho that looks unlikely) into my SilverStone RVZ01B case.

Sapphire 6800XT is listed as L267mm W120mm 2.5slot deep. I don't know if that helps!

I'm getting impatient My RX 580 is really slow at 1440p and daddy wants new hardware.

Err, this is a mid range card from 2016. Just wow.

If you take at least RX 6800 you will see 260% higher performance. Or instead of 50 FPS, 180 FPS

Yeap good upgrade that.

Provided the rest of the system is up to scratch.

Which i very much doubt, if he is still rocking a RX580 in 2021.

Have we had any news on UK prices as of yet ? If they will be massively inflated over the USD MSRP then ill probably keep trying for a 3070 :/

No reigonal pricing from AMD yet.

I just sold my previous GPU, my rx 580 is a placeholder... don't worry i'm fine

I'm running an i7-4690K (just on loan though, usually an i5-4690K) and a GTX980Ti at the moment, so also from around 2014/2015? Looks like holding out so long might yield a nice build if I wait out stock issues and get a 5xxx CPU and 6xxx GPU and enjoy the cohesion features.

Going from a placeholder 3300x and 1660 Super to an 5900x and 6800XT will also be pretty insane for me, very glad I waited a few months before doing any serious CPU and GPU upgrades.

BTW if a passing mod sees this - can the thread title be updated to include release dates please?

You can just use the report post function to contact a mod.

Didn't think that was a great use of the report mod function considering its not "needed" but just a nice to have tbh

I do it whenever I need something changed, much quicker than: "in case a mod happens to see this".

I'm not switching platform until DDR5 hits... I'm quite happy with the performance of my 3600 and B450. So it would have to really bottleneck the GPU at 1440p/max details for me to think about it again.

But I'm looking forward to hear some numbers from that combo of yours once you get the system up and running

Core of my system is similar to you, I have a 4k display though so a new GPU to replace the aging vega56 should tie me over till I do mobo/RAM/cpu bundle in a year or two.

I reckon just by the time I'm dead we'll have 120fps photo-realistic VR graphics. Just when I stop caring about porn...great.

At least if you’re dead you can’t go blind.

No RT benches available at all yet for any of the cards. There were some supposed leaks and compared to a 3070 it out performed it, but we don't know "which" RX6000 series it was, or if it was even a true leak or not.

Frank Azor said that that info would be officially available before launch though. So at some point in the next 2 weeks really.

Its too bad really they're terrific engineers RDNA2 is a great framework going into the future I don't think people realise how well this is done. But they're terrible at marketing. Ok the cards aren't on sale until the 18th, fine, but why are there no reviews yet? You need to get it out there to give it a chance to sink in; let people compare, gain some mindshare: revealing a card and then silence for nearly 3 weeks is leaving a vacuum that only increases nvidia mindshare there may be no cards available but everyone knows exactly what they're getting. AMD? You only have official slides and... nada. You need to do better and maybe actually employ a marketing dept as well as an engineering one.

They'll be some sick green puppies out there now after seeing NAVI benches

Would have to agree with this. The good part? Well that means there's more chance to grab one on release day from the poor marketing..

Interesting.

Interesting.

Damn

 

[vapor matt]

Interesting.

So at 1440P the 6900xt holds no significant advantage over the 6800xt but at 4k it does.
