Various Reference Radeon RX 5700 Series Graphics Cards Pictured
AMD reference-design Radeon RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 graphics cards will launch on the 7th of July, and the company's various add-in-board (AIB) partners are ready with their inventories. VideoCardz scored pictures from various such board partners. As for the cards themselves, all of these are based on the AMD reference-design. The RX 5700 reference-design is in mass-production, contrary to older reports. All these packages appear to indicate reference clock speeds. In select markets, all of these packages include the Xbox Game Pass for PC, which gives you a 3-month access to vast library of full game titles from Microsoft.
There still are no picture leaks on custom-design Radeon RX 5700-series graphics cards, which suggests that they will be launched a little later. At Computex we spotted several new graphics card cooling solutions from AMD partners, confirming that custom-design cards are a go. The reference Radeon RX 5700 XT has an MSRP of $449, while the RX 5700 is priced at $379. As for the limited-edition Radeon RX 5700 XT AMD 50th Anniversary Edition, it will be available online through AMD.com in select markets, priced at $499. You pay the extra $50 for an exclusive product design, higher clock speeds, and likely some AMD goodies, such as an AMD|50 t-shirt.

With Polaris and Vega, the custom models took almost two months to arrive. I'm already watching the picture, the Navi cards that people will actually want to buy, probably only in the middle of August and September!
I start to think that it's just their business plan all along.
When custom Navi cards arrive, Nvidia already have saturated the market. Nowadays, almost anyone wants these cards with blower cooler.
As I said, nowadays few people want a card with a blower cooler and if in the meantime the competition releases new cards (RTX Super) with better cooling and identical performance, it is more likely that people buy these.
But still, buying at launch has seldom been a good idea. You have to let the prices settle first. When you do that, it doesn't really matter whether custom designs were available on day 1. That said, what Nvidia is doing, working with 3rd parties so they have the needed knowledge in time for a product launch is brilliant.
You are talking as if Nvidia was making non-blower reference designs for ages and always had AIBs available from day one, they usually don't. As far as AMD partners not having cards for months after they are released that only ever happened with Vega which funnily enough no one wanted according to many, but somehow that was still an issue.

The issue with VEGA was because the height difference between the core and the HBM modules, as I recalled VEGA AIB came out as late as 6 months.
