Latest rumor about big navi. Sounds like AMD is scrambling hard to get it out of the door in time. Nvidia will launch ampere first.

AMD Radeon RX 'Big Navi' Enthusiast RDNA 2 Graphics Card Rumored To Feature 16 GB VRAM - Final Design Not Yet Finished, Expected Launch in Q4 2020 In Reference Only Flavors

The latest rumors on AMD's enthusiast Radeon RX 'Big Navi' graphics card featuring the RDNA 2 GPU point to 16 GB VRAM & Q4 2020 launch.

i lost hope in RDNA 2 anyways

 

[GreatnessRD]

Looks like the next few months are about to be fun times. I really hope AMD can deliver and send a chill up nVidia's spine. Consumers would win big if that happened. Got a cool $600 saved so far for my future ampere or Big Navi GPU.

Let's go!

For fucks sake AMD - why limit yourself like this....Your reference cards are nothing special! Unless they've done something i'm unaware off?

 

[Cutty Flam]

100% thought we were going to be discussing something relating to Ocarina of Time, came in here not understanding a single post as well lol

Remember! reference =/= blower

The 16 GB vram is a big deal for me compared to Nvidia's puny 11 GB but I have no patience to wait an extra 2 months.

It is spelled time.

 

[DGrayson]

Waiting for real concrete info from AMD and NVIDIA re performance and pricing of these cards is ridiculous. Its worse that PS5/XBSeX info at this point.

I of course am leaning to NVIDIA but if AMD came out with some real info I may change my mind. Anyways time will tell but its just annoying.

I think they've confirmed it won't be blower and will be dual fan set up like Nvidias reference cards.

16GB is low for nextgen GPUs. Nvidia is reportedly releasing cards with 20 or even 24GB.

Low? Nah. Will be plenty, esp. with SFS leading to better utilization. The 24 GB is the Titan, for workstations not gaming. Unless you play at 8K.

 

[kraspkibble]

Is this the card that will finally compete with the 2018 card that is the RTX 2080 Ti? Lol.

It's gonna take a lot to convince me to go back to AMD gpus. Driver support is ridiculous and they get so damn hot.

Lack of DLSS makes it DOA.

 

[LOLCats]

feels like both are trying to rush shit out the door. id prefer they wait and release polished products. ... ya thats not gonna happen.

 

[Rikkori]

FTFY. There's indeed a lack of DLSS in general.

It will be whatever nvidia releases as 3060. If htey launch it with 8gb games will be builded around it.

Titans only.

Also the delays are because Engineers can't travel to site due to this global pandemic. To be expected.

I've read that NVIDIA's next-gen Ampere DLSS 3.0 could work on ANY game that uses TAA

 

[Knitted Knight]

Does it ship with the complete feature set?

 

[Knightime_X]

After the horrific shitshow rx 5700 xt was it's very hard to be even micro interested in any amd gpu.

I even returned it and they said it wasn't defective which was sooo much the final nail.

Fucking shit keeps crashing.
Games are literally unplayable for longer than 5ish minutes.

Sorry. I'm just ranting with heavy amd gpu remorse.

Rumor has it that big navi is 40% faster than the 2080TI.

That's just fan-fiction written by a certain youtuber for clicks, and even he walked it back. Should've been obvious anyway after Nvidia explained implementation. But even other niche gameworks features in the past always required Nvidia engineers to actively work on game dev, so it's nothing new. Sadly ignorance & clickbait spreads easier than knowledge.

Nothing in that article (whatever we think of wccftech) even hints at AMD being behind schedule on RDNA2.

I wouldn't know, thx for clarification. Too bad.
