Radeon VII

£799! LOL! Man, the GPU market has become an absolute joke.

A card costing more than a 2080, that it doesn't beat, when the 2080 already received negative press everywhere for its price. What an absolute joke. I so wanted this card to work so I could get one, but these prices are ludicrous and out of principle, I ain't paying

so whose Youtube channel are you going to be refreshing around 2pm?

Gamers Nexus for me

None, I'll take a look at written reviews later on though.

They will definitely pay £150 extra if it's the last card in stock.

I don't get the excitement about it, especially at that price. A beefed up Vega 64, lots of RAM and 1080Ti performance. For £650 it's 2 years late and at £800 it's awful.

Will the cards be released dead on 2pm or around 1:55pm or something?

It's 649 bro, 799 is for the Asus Strix model I assume.

I'm sure these will be great performers, but I can't help but miss the days when the big guns (4870X2, 9800GX2) cost under £400. Over ten years ago now...blimey

I don't think they are great performers though are they? I guess we'll know for sure shortly but I thought it's roughly 1080Ti level.

Yet you allow Nvidia to go by using the exact same marketing with the RTX2080......

Let me remember what some Nvidia fans said few months back on this argument.....
Ahh yeah..... You pay for the performance....

Minstadave · 7 Feb 2019 at 13:05

I'm no Nvidia fan the 20xx series are stupidly poor value. I almost picked up a 2080 mispriced at £540 but didn't bother because even £100 off it was still crummy value.

Its sad to see AMD move to equal Nvidia for churning out the same old performance this Gen compared to what we've had for years now with no benefit in performance to cost ratio.

It is the 7th day of the month, and I am celebrating posting past my 7th post on the forum today. Hoping to seal the deal with a Radeon 7 soon.

Couldn't care less. The fact these cards even go up to that much is the problem

Everyone loves the underdog.

Gibbo will the card be released dead on 2pm?

Looks tasty, and the first Gaming 7nm card...great to see AMD innovate and continue to find ways to be top of mind. Raytracing/DLSS sounds nice...7nm seems more immediate. Good Luck to all of you going for a Vega 7 card, looks like some great options with plenty of reasons to enjoy. Congrats to OCUK for having the best selection and options again...only one place to be if you're a serious enthusiast...on this forum!!

On your CEO salary you should just buy a 2080 Ti

Panos · 7 Feb 2019 at 13:21

Has anyone seen Buildzoid's break of the Radeon 7? Typical AMD.... Using material twice as expensive than Nvidia....

($100 cost to AMD just the core VRM chips only!!!!!!!)

Ha I just have a massive problem paying the prices they are charging for the performance we are getting. It stinks. It's why I've not touched my PC for proper gaming in months and use my PS4 exclusively now.

i think this is why AMD are not giving their cards to other parties to have aftermarket coolers put on these
and also doing a limited run
its like a Vega Special Edition Limited card
