AMD to Unveil Radeon RX 5500 on October 7

[Vayra86]

makes sense, but I am leaning towards a rtx 2070 super when it comes in stock on nvidias site, since i can oc it hard to net me 10 fps more across the board than stock... making it 20 fps faster than xt across the board since xt doesn't OC well. I just can't wait around forever. I finally nabbed my dream monitor, but my gtx 1070 just can't handle it

Just get the 2070S man, there's nothing on the near horizon that will perform like it and its a well balanced card. There is no reason to believe a bigger Navi will behave much different from what we've seen. I mean even if its 10% faster stock vs stock, is that a gap you'd wait for?

I wonder if we might get a low-profile product from AMD this generation? It seems possible on paper, 7nm being a great enabler, but...

There were(/are) LP RX 550s and RX 560s, so no doubt we'll see a new LP card once a suitable die is released.

This 5500 XT might be a sneak peak of what goes into Xbox Scarlett's lower tier console, if Microsoft is actually going through with their plan to release two of them to mirror One S/X. It's great news to hear 8 GB is on the table, hopefully the whole market can plan on that amount of VRAM. 6 GB would be fine too but would probably require a weird controller interface like 96 or 192 bit. If they get the 16 GHz chips for a 128 bit bus, we should still see acceptable memory bandwidth (~ 256 GB/s) to support the lower number of stream processors.

22 RDNA compute units should work out to be about 50% faster than a 570, or within spitting distance within a 1660 ti. AMD shouldn't need a 5600 series to round out their mid-range.

I think you mean people just don't know how to OC Navi. Also...across the board...as in Nvidia shills hiding framerates on YouTube when it runs away lol

AsRock 5700xt was 376 USD last night, too.

Do these people include reviewers like Wizzard? because nobody has been able to get much OC performance out of navi. It is hitting the clock wall at 2150, and it stops scaling performance wise long before that.

Professional reviewers, youtube reviewers, normal customers, nobody has been able to squeeze more performance out of these things. They are max OCed from AMD, there isnt any headroom left. See also all the AIB cards that push power draw up 60-70 watts with 2-3% more performance at most.

Sorry, but the pricing mentioned in the news post is completely nonsensical. The successor to Polaris and the RX 5xx series is supposed to stay at the same price as their 3-year-old MSRPs - or even increase - for the same performance? Given that RX 570s have been selling for $120-140 and 580s for $140-170 this is pure nonsense. Or if true a massive mistake by AMD.

That is because the GTX 1660ti is $270, released at $280 and the GTX 1660 is $220. The RX 580 4GB is about 15% slower and sells at $150-170, with the 8GB version selling for $170-200.

I think those GPUs will have 580-590 lvl of performance for $150. RX5600 will get at Vegas' lvl of performance for $250 and RX5800 will target 2080 and 2080S for $500-600 (non-XT and XT).

nope doesn't beat the RX580 in GFXBench unless drivers are incoming that do some good perf optimisation if not then you'll be looking at RX570 perf

Let's see in a few days but me thinks that we will be surprised by Navi efficiency once more. If you remember, even AMD fans didn't expect 5700 to surpass Vega64 and 5700XT to reach Radeon VII performance being so small chips.

Not that an estimate based on specs should be given too much weight, but Igor Wallossek does tend to know what he's doing, and he estimates the 5500XT to be significantly faster than even the 590. No word on the vanilla 5500 though.

I hope it gets up there and costs $150 while consuming less than 100W. It will be THE bargain for cheap 1080P gaming PCs imho. BTW I fully agree with his estimation about 5600XT reaching Vegas but for 5500XT I think efficiency will lead to constrain the clocks a bit more. Maybe the custom AIB OCed models will reach close to what the graph shows but let's wait for a few more days.

Is this paper launch only? Today is the 7th and I don't see it in online stores.

... there hasn't even been an announcement yet.

 

[jabbadap]

Yeah today should be the announcement day not the actual product release.

22CU navi has compubench entry and videocardz have released AMD marketing numbers.

 

[Valantar]

So, in case anyone missed it or needs clarification, this is an OEM-only launch, with retail cards of the same name (but likely slightly different specs) arriving some time later in Q4.
