AMD RDNA2 Graphics Architecture Detailed, Offers +50% Perf-per-Watt over RDNA

Yeah, wccftech seems to take the exact "translation" from https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/PC_Shopping/M.1588075782.A.C1E.html

AMD will also be like NVIDIA's strategy at Turnig, supporting hardware ray tracing only in higher-order products, lower-order: products that cancel ray tracing but take high efficiency RDNA 2 The architecture design, whose effectiveness or licensing is expected to compete with the NVIDIA: the previously available GTX 16 Series

:confused:

Navi 23 with its 52 CUs at https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/amd-navi-23.g926 exactly matches the specs of the iGPU of the new Xbox.

50% performance improvement per watt would directly position it somewhere between RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti.

Only Navi 10 and Navi 14 will be left to compete with non-RTX Nvidia cards - Navi 10 would beat GTX 1660 series, while Navi 14 will continue to compete with GTX 1650 series and below.
 
Rumour/leak has it:

im ok with 400w as long it beats a 2080 ti by 15-20% and costs around $799

400W? No thanks, regardless on who releases such a thing.
 
I have a gfx that reaches 300w and I have a hard time keeping it below 80c.
I would not want a 400w card. I just wouldn't.

I mean the only way I would want it is if they invested heavily in a stock cooler that keeps it at 70 celsius in most situation, but yeah I agree with you otherwise

this 2 fan vaporchamber leaked design of the rtx 3080 looks very interesting for example, i bet it could cool 400 watts. all those fins :D

For new modern technology, that's too much wattage. Which tells me if true, Nvidia has nothing new and are taking a slightly revamped Turing and pumping up the juice then renaming it 3080.
 
400W can't be cooled effectively in a PCIe form factor in >99% of cases on the market. It simply isn't feasible. Water cooling with a 240mm radiator as stock might work, but that still limits compatibility to a) cases that can fit one, and b) users who don't already have that space taken by their CPU cooling. If a 360mm rad is needed, it is DOA.

So no, this is BS. 400W isn't happening.
 
It had been done previously.

No technical problem or difficulty. Price and performance will be the decisive factors.

AMD Radeon R9 295X2 8 GB Review

Today, AMD is launching their Radeon R9 295X2, a dual-GPU card based on two fully unlocked, fully clocked Hawaii graphics processors. As a result, the card delivers impressive numbers in 4K and EyeFinity. But with a price of $1500, it is certainly not cheap, no matter how you look at it.

Those were dual GPUs, you should know better than to spread such egregious rumors. Slow rumor day for you?

And so what ? The power delivery circuitry obviously doesn't care how many chips you got on the PCB :laugh:

It better double the performance for nearly double the watts and 2 years later.

Frankly, likely bullshit GPU rumors are still better than real news and reality this year.

Double as compared to what exactly?

See quoted post.

Really ? It will be great if double the performance of the RX 5700 XT at 1080p.
Click to expand...

How would that be impressive? It would basically be two 5700XT, complete with double the power draw. That is not impressive. 400W is a disappointment with any metric unless it has double the performance of 2080 Ti.

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Review

The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT is based on AMD's all-new Navi 10 GPU featuring the RDNA architecture. We thoroughly test the card's gaming performance and look at power, heat, noise, overclocking, and clock frequency stability, too, sometimes with surprising results.

Yes.

If you give me double the wattage then at a minimum I am expecting double the performance. To be impressed, you have to give me double the performance at significantly less than double the wattage or double the wattage and significantly more than double the performance. Besides, if they (AMD) achieve double performance of a 5700XT, then they will be at roughly the expected performance of Ampere...but.....at significantly more power usage. I, for one, don't want to dump 400watts of heat into my office that is already 28C because it is summer. I don't care about the power draw itself, I care about working/gaming in a sauna.

RTX 2080 Ti is a 300-watt part. So, you expect 33% higher performance, not double the performance up to 400-watt.

In Germany it so hot in summer, that you need air condition anyway. In winter the i9-9900K and the Radeon Vega 64 Lquid Cooling help heating the room :)
In which country do you live?
