AMD Navi 23 ‘NVIDIA Killer’ GPU Rumored to Support Hardware Ray Tracing, Coming Next Year

[nutsnut]

From previous AMD Radeon launches I remember that the real thing has always been disappointing compared to the speculation discussions in the forums.
Let's hope that this time this "GameCache" is closer to the reality and RDNA 2 brings some ground-breaking innovations and performance uplift for the Radeon lineup.

That was mostly always the forums fault, all abaord the hype train - Choo choo.

AMD can't be blamed for any overhyping and under delivering this time around.

Atleast the 6990 XT should be available for purchase on launch day.. looks like the Vega frontier edition to me
But if those stats are true, 80 CU navi is something worth waiting for

Most likely fake, but not a slide i've seen before.

Can't see that as being anything other than fake. Look how bunched up the SKUs are.

349, 399, 499, 549.

And the differences between them are in some cases tiny. 48->52 CUs? Both with 16GB VRAM? Same cache, same bandwidth?

What's the point in doing that?

PlayStation 5 has 36 CUs but how many shaders - 3456 or 2304?

then maybe stop posting the utter tosh you keep posting then

Maybe, but they'll also supply the finished card to aibs so they can slap sticker on and sell that too

I cant wait to pay 20% more for an asus sticker!

Sapphire is the best for Radeon, Asus is one of the worst.

 

[Chrisc]

I was referring to the reference model having each brand sticker slapped to them and somehow Asus still charge considerably more.

Sapphire would always be my first port of call for an AMD card.

Most likely fake, but not a slide i've seen before.

just someone's opinion by the looks of it 120/128 ROPs doesn't sounds right to me that's Arcturus territory

 

[humbug]

Most likely fake, but not a slide i've seen before.

Where did you get that please?

 

[DDH]

Now, this means that each compute unit (so called CU) has 96 shaders, and not 64 as in the previous architectures.
Also, Navi 21 has been rumoured to be 505 sq. mm with 80 CUs.

We know from XBSX and ps5 that RDNA2 still has 64 shaders per CU so this slide is someone's work of fantasy. Also sounds like the leaks NAAF read out on his live stream as being horse ****

My name is Paul



it was actually posted to me by a friend in a whatsaap, not sure of the source. I will ask.

Ok thanks.

Yeah, think it's definitely the one he was on about.

 

[humbug]

Everything but the shader count looks like what they would look like.

96 Shaders per CU is odd, and yet if i was to make that up i would put down 64 Shaders per CU because that has been AMD's layout for a decade. The fact that this is out of the ordinary doesn't convince me its fake.

32GB at the top end seems a little much too, but you never know.

A little? It's insane other than for the productivity people never will 32GB be needed for 4k gaming... 8k, well you never know but beings as tbh you'd not be 8k gaming on current gen from AMD or nvidia unless settings are low...

I believe this gen and 4k top flight gaming will need 16GB as the defactor minimum... more is a bonus, but 10/11/12GB is not enough based on current and potential going forward, 16GB is the sweet spot so if rumours are true with navi, they've made a fine choice there with the top end cards!

Maybe I'm getting mixed up, but isn't the 6800XT in that table, the GPU that's in the Xbox Series X? If so, how can it be $100 more expensive than the console?!

If that is, I think I'll just stick with console, end up getting the same GPU with an equivalent CPU of R7 3700 for $100 less!

No, I have big doubts about that table being true but the clocks there are way higher than the XSX and shaders per CU are 50% higher too. So it would be 50% more shaders + around 20-25% higher clock speed at boost.

Same amount of Compute Units, but higher clocked, more VRAM and full fat architecture no doubt. As i said before, take with a pinch of salt until AMD say somthing but historically the Discrete GPU is always more expensive than the equivant console
