Pretty sure that render of Ruby is new, too.
All I can say is if this is based off the Xbox One X they’re in a good spot to start.
nice, i knew being poor and not buying a vega would pay off eventually
Can't wait for Nvidia to go completelly apeshit like Intel when AMD makes actually competitive high-end cpu. Unless they are actually prepared for this unlike Intel.
you mean with the rtx?
If they will release card with performance of 2080(ti) but without raytracing in 2019 that's going to be enough imo. The card after it though... people will expect something like RTX in it because we will actually start to see games where RTX is not attached with duct tape right before release.
They are not competitive in high-end market though. Having card with 1080's level of performance as their most powerful card is hard to call competitive.
Awww yeah. Cant wait to mine some bitcoins.
Amd is first (as i know) on cpu side so why not be on gpu?
AMD has been lack-luster in the GPU department for a hot minute and Vega was severely underwhelming imo. Really hope they step up their game this time with NVIDIA doing dumb shit trying to get away with what Intel did for years without good competition.
Fuck yeah go amd, rip em to pieces.
Ehh, this is basically non-news. AMD said Vega was gonna be great as well. I’ll get excited when reviews come out.
Vega was a good deal when you could get it for a decent price, but because it was/is so damn good at crytpo, it quickly jumped.
Well there is an RX 590 coming, but that's not exactly the XB1X. The point is AMD should (imo) make a card that is at least the performance of the XB1X, which is about the level of what a 590 should be.
I love my AMD GPU. My overclocked R9 390 has been running like a champ for the past few years. Go!
Cmon man, compete with nvidia!
Please give us a gpu that's capable of 4k for a reasonable price.
7nm Vega won't be able to compete on performance, you're not gonna see clock speeds jump nearly by the needed margin. If you're talking being competitive in power consumption and price, I could probably agree more. If AMD wants to be competitive in performance, they're gonna need massive architectural improvements.
god, why did we drop the optimistic rating
Lucky is the new optimistic basically.
Liza Su leaves an impression of a CEO who is more engineer than talking head. I'd like to believe she knows the price of her words and does not say something if she doesn't know for sure that it is how it is.
AMD is doing what I wanted them to do. This is great.
With NVIDIA's RTX GPUs essentially just being overpriced 1000 series GPUs with ray tracing slapped on in terms of performance, it leaves more than enough of a gap and some time for AMD to catch up.
And honestly, that's what I'm expecting. I'm not expecting this new AMD GPU to absolutely destroy the 2080ti, or even the 1080ti, but to match or come close to matching their performance for less pocket change.
AMD's track record on saying "shit's amazing yo" and it not being amazing out of the gate make me pause though. I'm definitely going to wait for reviews so we can get an idea on the real performance, power consumption, thermals, and OC ability. Still, there's no doubt that the GPU market is kinda stagnating right now, and AMD providing any sort of competition to kick things back into high gear is a blessing.
It's fun to think that AMD aren't just handling GPUs, but also CPUs, they're competing against 2 big dogs right now, though Intel are being fucking weird at the moment.
And also $800 or more. That's so expensive it's in Niche territory
Aint that the truth. Where I am the cheapest 2080 Ti is just over $2,000. Never in my life has a mainstream consumer graphics card been that expensive. Back in 2006 or so when the x1900 xtx launched, I paid $895 for one and that was INSANE at that time. No one ever thought we'd be seeing prices that exceeded that level of stupidity (Inflation adjusted of course).
But... here we are. Hope AMD can apply some pressure for a change.
While I applaud the efforts of AMD and hope they keep kicking ass, this is going to change nothing. Nobody's going to switch from Nvidia. The combination of fanboys, the features Nvidia offer with shadowplay and such, as well as the simple fact that AMD usually doesn't run as well because AMD doesn't invest in making sure that games companies actually make their game run well on their hardware unlike Nvidia.
On the other side at least their stock prices will rise more.
Dang AMD I just bought two Vega 64s
Yea how about making the now-normal ones cost less than 300 euros
Old render, from at least 2017, but I remember it back even further during the Fury series.
Are they?
Nvidia has serious clout with TSMC, so I expect Nvidia to have first-to-market consumer 7nm GPUs.
Nvidia is just very quiet about it, since they want to milk all the whales with super expensive RTX cards on 12nm, before they drop cheaper, smaller, more efficient 7nm RTX cards.
Anyway, this article is still really about Navi, which is 2H 2019. So don't expect anything soon, we'll get a Vega 7nm enterprise-GPU launch at some point probably 1H 2019, but that's not a consumer card by any stretch of the imagination.
As long as you're on a GCN card, you're getting driver updates, and generally can expect support for things (hardware dependencies nonwithstanding).
That is the one upside to GCN, and how little it has changed.
The consoles are pretty low margin parts, meaning they don't actually demand that much wafer capacity. Combine that with the fact that consoles aren't exactly leagues ahead of discreet AiB graphics anymore in terms of adoption. Plus all the OEM and enterprise segment Nvidia does.
Nvidia isn't even TSMC's biggest buyer, that is Apple and then Qualcomm, as I understand it. There's even MediaTek (who are in fucking everything), and Broadcom, though I'm not sure if they will be buying more capacity, and at 7nm.
Point is that, Nvidia is going to play it as close to the wire as they can, either releasing just before Navi, or right after.
Nvidia has a good uarch, so assuming just equal node shrinks of Vega and Turing, Nvidia will win by an easy margin. AMD needs to bring serious uarch improvement to GCN, we're talking basically two generations worth. Can they pull that off? I'm optimistic for AMD, but I don't think I'm that optimistic.
I believe it when I see it. Thats all there is to say here really, they have to catch up to last gen (10 series) and be on par with the current gen (20 series) plus have some form of response for RTX.
Granted RTX itself is still almost nothing but it has potential.
I do wish them luck though.
Vega 56 at today's prices are great value for money tbh, especially when it comes to DX12 and Vulkan games.
