![]() Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming ![]() The Radeon VII also features 3,840 of AMD’s Graphics Core Next (GCN) cores and a maximum boost clock of 1,800MHz – about 300MHz faster than the Vega 64 – matching the factory overclock Nvidia applies to the Founders Edition version of the GeForce RTX 2080.ĬPU: 3.7Ghz Intel Core i7-8700K (hexa-core, 12MB cache, up to 4.7GHz) AMD RADEON VII PROFESSIONALAll of that HBM2 memory is also going to appeal to creative and professional users who use applications like Adobe Lightroom and Sony Vegas. That might sound like an absurd amount of VRAM, but high-res games already often require more than 8GB of memory. The only other graphics card to feature more video memory than that is the $2,499 (£2,399, AU$3,999) Nvidia Titan RTX. This GPU also touts twice as much video memory as the previous model with a whopping 16GB of HBM2 VRAM. According to AMD, its new 7nm process allows this GPU to increase performance by 25% overall over last year’s model without requiring any more power. Comparatively, the Nvidia’s Turing architecture just managed to hit 12nm. The Radeon VII was the first graphics card to be built on AMD’s – or anyone’s, really – 7nm architecture. We've had a bumpy ride with the GCN architecture over the years, where GCN started out as a graphics card first approach before AMD went towards semi-custom and the GPU architectures were created as products for Apple (Vega) and Microsoft and Sony (Polaris) for the Xbox and PlayStation consoles.(opens in new tab) Specifications and features The Radeon RX Vega 56 and 64 can be retired with similar or better performing cards that use GDDR6 memory and are much better on thermals (Navi will be on 7nm) and power consumption (because it's not Vega).ĪMD's next step in the enthusiast world will be their next-gen GPU architecture after Navi which will be a truly big step in a new direction as it'll be the first GPU architecture since GCN launched in 2011. I think we'll see a few different Navi SKUs released that will hit price points of between $399 and $599, at $100 intervals from RX 590 at $289. Radeon RX Vega isn't really pushed anymore, which will lead us to the release of Navi. So what happens now with Radeon now that we have the Radeon RX 590 and Radeon VII graphics cards? The savings here alone can be hundreds of dollars depending on the display, so you can offset some of the loss of RTX features if you're not going to use them, in the Radeon VII and cheaper and very compatible FreeSync 2 gaming display. If you need a new gaming monitor to go with your new Radeon VII graphics card, then you're in luck as FreeSync gaming displays are way cheaper than G-Sync monitors. Think of an animator or YouTuber by day who wants to crank out some rounds in PUBG, Overwatch, or Battlefield V. AMD RADEON VII PCShould You Buy It?Ĭontent creators - This is a growing market for both sides: content creators, who are making content like videos during the day and want to game or whenever they're not using the PC for content-related purposes. I expect Navi to offer performance under the Radeon VII at $299-$599 with multiple cards in between that hit Radeon RX Vega 56/64 levels of performance but use GDDR6 and far better power consumption/temperature numbers. ![]() It's triple-fan cooler must be keeping the card cooler than if AMD went with a single-fan design, but by how much? Vega 20 and 16GB of HBM2 on a small interposer means there's a crap load of stuff going on in a small space, compared to the spaced-out use of GDDR5/5X/6 on NVIDIA's last two generations of GeForce graphics cards.ĪMD's new Radeon VII allows the company to continue riding its success train from Ryzen to Threadripper to EPYC right into 2019 with Zen 2, Ryzen 3000 series, Ryzen Threadripper 3000 series, 7nm EPYC 'Rome' (64C/128T), the new Radeon VII and then all roads lead to Navi as we get closer to June/July. ![]() AMD on the other hand is offering a 300W+ card that NVIDIA can match at 200-225W, at similar temperatures (60-75C) but the Radeon VII is definitely the loudest of them all. ![]()
