there we go

Let's see when they will go on sale.

Interesting, will look foward to reviews.

For non-water cooling, Sapphire, Asrock, XFX, and even Power Color get first look for me in that order. Only if none of these are optimal would I begin to consider multi-vendor brands.

Nice but... they give it a backplate, and then you see that ugly underside of the shroud when you look at the card.

Was it too much effort to extend it? What is the use of short PCB and plate if the shroud protrudes? Or is that where they moved 'the bulge'...

Better cooling I think. Fan blows straight through is better then hot air inside the plastic shroud of the card.

 

[B-Real]

The first ASRock GPUs were hotter than Sapphire or ASUS models, so this may the case this too. But hey, when I built my first rig, ASRock was the first-to-avoid motherboard manufacturer. Now, they are the one of (if not) the best.

 

[Lorec]

It smelled to good to be true eh?
They needed that hint of a rx 570/580 rank on the back of Your nose, now did they?

Function follows form. Extending the shroud would have the air shooting out the side more so than it already is potentially getting sucked right into the intake. Also, an inconsequential tough valid point: no restriction is better than some restriction right?

I wonder what the clocks on these cards are. I imagine a manufacturer will use "Igor's" power play settings and release a card with 3 fans and like 6 heat pipes (here's looking at you Asus and Sapphire).

5700XT

• Clock: GPU / Memory
  Boost Clock: 1905 MHz / 14 Gbps
  Game Clock: 1795 MHz / 14 Gbps
  Base Clock: 1650 MHz / 14 Gbps

5700

• Clock: GPU / Memory
  Boost Clock: 1725 MHz / 14 Gbps
  Game Clock: 1675 MHz / 14 Gbps
  Base Clock: 1515 MHz / 14 Gbps

So I may indeed be right that we will see factory OCs over 2000 MHZ from the big players.

 

[CheapMeat]

Dang, I really like the styling. It matches their old school Z77/X79 boards.

Sapphire products are solid, but the last few generation I've been going with the Aorus and Red Devil variants and I can only say good things about them. If ridiculous air cooling is your thing, these are as good as any.

 

[Throbb]

Probably not, I think all the overclocks will only be on the base and game clocks and the boost clock won't be touched or if it is it'll be minor.

problems with reading ?

[Dristun]

Backplate is super pretty, and they were so close on the front. If only it was made out of smooth aluminum or something like that instead of molded plastic with these weird indents. Just the livery and fans. Oh well.

Same here. Those Red Devils are solid cards, had sapphire and powercolor both ran amazing, cool and overclocked nicely but Red Devil was more quiet!

Pretty sad that after all this time AMD finally able to compete with the 1080 TI.

Fair point... on the other hand not I am confident that not a lot of people on the market missed 800USD GPUs from AMD.

 

[droopyRO]

Let's see when they will go on sale.

I was wondering about this, mid-August is kind of vague. Will all of them launch on a specific date, like 7/7 was ? or is it by manufacturer's schedule ?

 

[r.h.p]

looks good for 700 aus dollars

 

[spnidel]

$400 for 1080 ti performance? sounds good

 

[droopyRO]

Poor performance in Total War Warhamer 2 and Three Kingdoms. In other games it equals or is near 1080 Ti performance. Maybe the custom cards with overclock will perform better. But for 440 Euros with that crap cooler, it is not worth it. Custom cards would probably be >450 Euros and that in RTX 2070S territory.

 

[Sir Alex Ice]

How did they take the lead? Everybody else already announced RX 5700 series, right?
