How fast and how much?

Read more about AMD's Radeon VII graphics cards.

On par or better than a 2080 ? Damn that's impressive especially at $100 less.

The tri cooler design looks like one of Sapphires

I like their choice for naming the card. It puts the main selling point up front without being douchy about it like Nvidia was with RTX.

This is exactly what I want to see from AMD honestly. Good solid FPS battling with NVIDIA and on equal terms!

I'd still get a 2080 however for the RT/DLSS features...unless AMD has some unannounced component that will achieve the same principle (I could be unaware of it as well

). The choice isn't cuz I'm biased toward one company or the other but I'd rather get the RT/DLSS capable card simply to use that feature if I choose to - just how I am is all.

"performance gains of 25-45%"
"25% more performance at the same power"

It's going to burn your house down.

I've heard rumours that there's going to be an 8GB version from AIB partners that will be cheaper. Source is from Gibbo on OCUK apparently. If it's true, and the price drops from $700 to $600 (not unreasonable), that's not a terrible buy. I mean, no DLSS but it does have Vulkan performance benefits and there are more Vulkan-supported titles than there are DLSS-supported titles and it's possible we'll see more Vulkan down the line.

Super excited about this. Good on AMD. They needed 7nm bad to compete in the GPU department. Although when looking at it from an objective standpoint it is quite telling that Nvidia can compete/out compete AMD at 12nm rather than 7nm. Which is quite a big difference since they both use TSMC. All that money makes a difference.

In the trailer for it from AMD they for some reason show a person standing in a street with reflective water for like 3 seconds and then it fades to the AMD logo, Could be AMD's RT.

I doubt AMD will support RT. It's a 2nd gen Vega die, I would be shocked if they radically changed design and added some form of instruction set to boost RT calculation.

Although it's been like what 3 years since Vega launched, so it's possible.
