Can't wait to find out what arbitrary reason Jensen conjures to take a huge dump on this like he does every single time AMD release a GPU
I've only just realised AMD have announced an RX 5600 (non-XT)

I really hope the rest of the lineup drops soon!

Really hope by end of march we hear some solid info my pocket will be burning and waiting to spend all the savings want a new card for cyber punk 2077.
Last year my upgrade on cpu ram mobo was the best time for me to upgrade since 1st gen ryzen was so cheap so while not the newest a huge upgrade over my old 2500k.
This year it's GPU time and it's the worst time to upgrade leaning towards a 2080 atm as I'm expecting price drops around end of march but if we hear some solid info from both sides I'll wait don't really want to be disappointed so holding out as long as possible.
I do somewhat feel that it will be 6000 series myself since the newer cards will have DXR support, but these tip bits of info could be spot on.
Hopefully all the higher end navi will support DXR and the 5800XT could be the card I'm waiting for if they price that at around 500 with DXR but the longer I have to wait the more choice I will have.
First comes the saving part and I really hate saving lol

Maybe this is reaching too far, but there being four SKUs says to me that it's going to scale up to and beyond the 2080Ti. Pretty exciting if they can keep the prices realistic.

I'll settle for anything that stomps on the Nvidia idiocy and gets it off its sanctimonious high horse. Then maybe we can get some normalcy back.

Nope.
AMD will just price these to suit. Then Nvidia will release their new gen at ridiculous prices, smashing AMD to bits. Nvidia haven't done much for a couple of years but I bet loads has been going on behind the scenes.
The problem is us. We paid the high prices, giving the go ahead to allow them to keep charging them. There is no way IMO that Navi is worth what AMD are charging but we allowed it when we paid nvidia's increasingly high prices.
The only way is to say no, rather than hoping AMD will rescue us.
Otherwise they'll just do what they have been doing and join in on the gouging.
I'm actually only excited for new AMD cards because of competition... but if they keep continuing to release cards that draw more power, run hotter and still don't perform as well as Nvidia's while demanding roughly the same amount of dosh, then that is no competition...
Still happy to see some new tech coming
let's just hope for the best!

The current Navi cards don't draw much more power, don't run that hot, and have great performance? It's very competitive.. in fact it's the first competitive cards in years
Then I stand corrected! Haven't had an AMD card in years and never wanted to go back to them... My coworker also says he has had problems with his 5700XT
Don't get me wrong, we don't need a £500-600 HBM card. But if there's going to be an ultra-high-end card to take the performance crown, then HBM would be a nice add-on at the right price.
Especially if big Navi would be pushing towards 400W, HBM will help manage that.

the bit that intrigues me is the 50 in the 5950. all other models so far have been 5x00. It leaves the idea that there could be a 5900 or 5990 and the potential to have a revision of the 5700's as 5750's (though I doubt that would be the case as im sure ive worked on an ATI 5750 in the past?)
Afaik "950" models in the sort of recent past for AMD have all been dual-chip cards. AMD has made dual-chip versions of every to end GPU model every generation still (Tahiti, Hawaii, Fiji, Polaris, Vega all had dual-GPU boards), but the last two have been prosumer/enterprise focused only, so whether or not that means anything is anyones guess.

There's no point though. GDDR6 is more than fast enough and it overclocks and there are no issues with the height and all of the other issues AMDs cards with it have had.
Plus it's very expensive and you usually get less of it.
Not worth it imo.
