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

[Blackjack Davy]

Are these names serious? Never heard of them but flounder isnt something you would boast about!

Noticed the Cichlid mentioned in an earlier leak, curiously its a type of tropical fish found in aquariums...

Dimgrey is also hex #696969 in the RGB colour scale apparently.
That to me means 6900 confirmed
Navy is 000080.

because it is actually pronounced "skew" in the industry.

You cares what they say in the industry, they are mostly Sole(less) Koi, mixed in with the occasional Unicorn fish.

 

[AMDPower]

the last few pages made me lol.

I want AMD to release new info but the absurdity of the rumour mill is sometimes Good entertainment lol.

If it's true that RDNA 2 is 60% increase performance per watt per CU.


That would put the 6700 on par with a 2080ti
6800 would be faster then a 3080
6900 would beat a 3090

And there was no fish pun. You're fired.

Don't you mean fried?

And the 6900 is rumoured to be available at 499..

what are the chances that amd might have to rebrand Radeon like they had to do with Athlon

I see AMD are starting to reel you all in. It may turn out to be a load of codswallop, hake news if you will. Plumbing the depths doesn't always mean you'll have a whale of a time. If you get cichlid of waiting remember Nvidia are no angel either

It's too early man

Big Navi @ 499, NV would be carping themselves.

I have a big dog that likes to wake me up early. Although he's now asleep again! I think he's still attuned to the 5:30 work day starts despite me being furloughed since April

This I can live with!

I think it puts good credence to why Jensen rushed it out and why they had to clock aggressively with high power + cooling as they wanted to be sure post RDNA release that they were in the same ball park.

Being able to counter with Ti/Super cards with more VRAM was a backup plan, which I think they are having to play due to the spies in the companies confirming its not a myth but likely to be a decent card.

Yes, we really need a Ryzen moment to shake up the market with some rapid increases in power and competition to control pricing. Intel's presence will only help with that. I can see a rapid increase in ray tracing power over the next 5 years to the point where it will be standard rather than a nice to have feature. I'm hoping the rumoured MCM cards will kick that off.

A lot of people I work with say skewey.

I read that in an Australian accent

Skewey the bush kangaroo.

 

[docsonic]

Really hope we get something concrete from amd soon rather than these fishy leaks. NV really coming across as desperate now with more sponsored tosh.. 8k gaming anyone

 

[Phate]

i doubt we will see that much more concrete stuff with the event on Oct 8th looming. AMD will want all eyes on Ryzen first and foremost

 

[nashathedog]

girl

There does seem to be double-standards, hopefully this time AMD's keeping quiet until ready to blow our socks off will prove to be the right thing.

In the past silence hasn't been a good thing so it's best to not be too hopefull.

I see that as a worrying sign at the high end because why would AMD price a 3080 - 3090 competitor close to half the price of Nvidia, close to 5700 XT that doesn't add up to me

Mostly likely some confusion as to which AMD product that will be imho

 

[nashathedog]

If Big Navi can consistently match or get close to the RTX 3080 on release we are doing well. For me that'll be cool as it'll likely be a case of the card ageing better in upcoming games due to it's ties with the consoles gpu architecture, That said I fully expect that in the early days Nvidia will buy into the development of one or two big game titles so they can kneecap AMD performance in the same way they did when Fiji was chasing Maxwell & Rise of the Tomb Raider was getting close to it's PC release, Nvidia completely blindsided AMD with that one so hopefully AMD will be on the ball this time around to make sure it doesn't happen again, or at least not that often.
