AMD confirms Radeon 6000 reveal and Zen 3 launch for October

[VIPER258]

Can't say I am optimistic, I think their top tier card will be somewhere between 3070 and 3080. I really hope I am wrong otherwise I will be picking up my first Nvidia card in the 3080.

10GB of VRam for £650+, they saw you coming!

(assuming reviews confirm what we suspect the perf increase to be)

But what are you assuming the increase to be? I really can't see how people are getting so excited by the blatantly manipulated marketing. Of course they are going to cherry pick the best numbers from very specific scenarios and advertise it as "100% increase over last Gen!"

I'm getting caught up in the excitement just as much as everyone, it's fun, but I do think people need to temper their expectations a little or there are going to be a lot of slightly disappointed people come launch day. Most of those people will also be in denial.

Giving Nvidia over a month of mind share is never a good move no matter how positive you try to spin it.

As above.

Complete nonsense, and unrelated to your original post. If the product and pricing is good enough, it won't matter. Intel had ten years of "mind share" prior to Ryzen's launch, and yet it succeeded because it was a great product at a good price. A month isn't going to matter.

To be honest unless you have a desperate need for a new card you would be silly to buy nvidia before this comes out....yes it might not/ probably wont be as good but you have no way to be certain and the extra waiting time will only make stocks of nvidia cards better and allow their drivers to mature a tiny bit and potentially even the free game package we know will follow a month or so after release.

I think that level of performance would be good. I'd buy one for £500 if it was half way between 3070 and 3080.

Any thoughts on the fan picture? Looks like a blower?

Oh I hope it isn't, that'll be a final coffin nail for some peeps if it is, me included

 

[random_matt]

Oh well, playing a all nighter on the 17th then, or morning to be more accurate. Nov release, there is only so much waiting I can do.

 

[random_matt]

Why don't they push the envelope like Nvidia? Hear it won't be even 300W.

There is no decent new games out until cyberpunk in mid November, don't know why people are so impatient to hand over money without seeing the whole picture.

AMD said they weren't going to be using blower designs for the reference cards.

I'm glad somebody gets it. Also releasing performance figures wouldn't make much difference as anyone who is buying Ampere before RDNA2 release was never going to be an AMD customer regardless.

And I bet it doesn't take 3 or 4 slots either. Noobs. They need to up their slot game.

Feckless as usual if they don't leak any numbers before the 17th. If they don't we can only presume that they can't get near to Ampere, and DLSS 2.0 will destroy them.

Bullzoid got it right when he said that AMD should *only* be allowed to design the GPU itself, then hand off the rest to a more competent company/AiB. Only then would they be successful.

I'll be going nVidia this round because of the above, GPU will be great I'm sure but everything else? Not so much.

 

[hyperseven]

They claim a new era of leadership in graphics performance, hardly no confidence lol.

Ah, confidence like, "overclockers dream", "poor Volta"..... Look how well being confident then turned out

Cold War is out in November too and from I hear is a popular franchise.

People who buy Nvidia (like me since GeForce 256, or in fact it was Riva actually) will go Nvidia anyway, it's way too early for AMD to challenge Nvidia on the top - 5nm however will be different.

This was said about 7nm as well...

At 5 nm they should go chiplets, which should make scaling up a lot easier (and cheaper), they needed to sort out architecture also and hopefully in 2 years drivers will be in a better shape - competition is good, if it wasn't for AMD we would not be getting much bigger jump now with Ampere.
