I also heard AMD did a sudden 10% price drop on RX 5700.
Yes, I think I read this somewhere. But it seems the price cut is specific for some regions/countries. Yes, there is a lot of tough competition right now in the GPU market, after Nvidia released their SUPER series of Video cards. Maybe next year when INTEL releases their
XE branded discrete GPUs, things might change a bit.
How does your VEGA 64 GPU perform in games ? Have you tried undervolting as well ?
I can't imagine what goes on in CEO Lisa Su's mind every time Nvidia throws a new video card on the market.
AMD really needs to step up their Game, if they want to compete with Nvidia.
According to the roadmap, NAVI 20 is going to land next year, 2020. These might be high-end NAVI GPU offerings. Also, I think NAVI would be the last AMD GPU to be based on the GCN architecture though (refined). In 2021 we might see a completely new arch, rumored as
ARCTURUS, (most probably on
VLIW2, or as AMD calls it
SUPER-SIMD). This is where things might change for AMD.
IMO, on a slight
off topic note, I think
APU/CPU is where AMD can
try to put a strong mark on the market. They might have a hard time capturing the high-end dGPU market as evident from their recent trend.
I could be wrong though.
Also, High-end NAVI GPUs aren't going to come out this year. So, expect only mainstream and mid-range products.
"Actually, AMD will be focusing on the mid-range market with their new 7nm power-efficient Navi architecture. In fact, even AMD's Mark Papermaster confirmed that 7nm Radeon VII will be AMD’s top-tier graphics card for the time being.".
So I don't expect
high-end models to come out soon though. Also, 4 more NAVI GPU variants were leaked before on a
"MacOS Mojave update" source code. These are
Navi 16, Navi 12, Navi 10 and Navi 9.
But these are basically the names of the product variants, not codenames of four
different processors. Though, we have seen references to Navi 10 and Navi 12 being two
distinct GPUs on previous occasions, so this gets a bit confusing for now. Anyways, this MacOS entry is legit though. The file is named as
“AMDRadeon6000HWServiceskext”.
Sorry for the large Image size.....Was unable to reduce it further....
