It's still faster than the 5700XT so no worries there, Driver support is what's important and we'll be ok for quite some time to come yet.

Think most people did 
Or at least Dice did. He said Navi will ruin this in a few months. I hope he made a bet because he was right ^_^

I wouldn't be too hasty on that.
Some table thing has now been unlocked and WC cards are hitting 2200mhz. That makes them faster than the 1080Ti....
Apparently partner cards will also remove the lock AMD put in place, and binning will be important. But yeah, that's over 30% clock increase so performance is pretty wild.
And this could merely be small navi.
To be honest I think RVII was always meant as a gaming card last, their reveal focussed much more on content creation, development, editing and streaming, for the workloads it's well suited to I think it will hold its crown till the next HBM2 prosumer card comes around(I don't think this is the death of HBM2 in consumer-ish cards, but maybe the death of it below ~£700), for gaming it's probably going to only match heavily OC'd 5700XT's on mature drivers. RDNA in its first iteration is quite slimmed down in terms of execution unit variety but then more or less doubles allocation on the graphics specific elements making each CU much larger in the end, so at the moment GCN will still have benefits in a fair few compute workloads, VII will probably be the best double precision consumer card for quite a while for instance, while it's bandwidth is currently pretty untouchable if your workload needs it.

I doubt anyone's hitting 2200mhz on core, but I'd like more info on this unlock thingy so I could prove that myself.
I think my VII is already faster than a 1080TI at 2100mhz, significantly so. Even if you OC the 1080TI to 2100mhz core also, and +600 on the memory, it won't touch the VII. The only issue is temps (of course).

It's kosher. The video is in German, but Timmy Joe (your fellow Canadian) has a video up about it. They're saying AMD hamstringed the cards until AIB put butch coolers on them or you go water.
It basically unlocks clock tables instead of this lame "gaming clock" nonsense.

There you go. On phone atm so pols for double penetration.

Sure wish I read German, but thanks for the thought, LOL!
It's Navi ya plonker lol.
5700XT is faster than a 1080ti in the test.
God if it were the 7 you'd cause a pinch lmao

Yep, Reason why it's not worth me swapping just yet, Maybe if a 5900XT big boy Navi comes out.

Ooh, that's exciting if it's true. Maybe AMD were again playing with Nvidia and 'real' Navi will clock higher and be faster than Super. Of course, it'll no longer be as efficient as Turing by that stage, but that doesn't bother me. An extra 30-50W is nothing if you can boost clocks and still maintain reasonable temps/noise levels.
