When do the next generation GPUs drop?

Yep!

Advanced Micro Devices | First twelve years

Advanced Micro Devices was formally incorporated on May 1, 1969, by Jerry Sanders, along with seven of his colleagues from Fairchild Semiconductor. Sanders, an electrical engineer who was the director of marketing at Fairchild, had, like many Fairchild executives, grown frustrated with the increasing lack of support, opportunity, and flexibility within the company, and decided to leave to start his own semiconductor company. The previous year Robert Noyce, who had developed the first sil In Septe...

Nesrie:

God, the naming schemes for these cards is just ridiculous. Ugh.

Especially when there was an Nvidia GPU called the 5700. Now AMD has a 5700. We’ve come full circle.

stusser · 2019-07-06T01:31:37.117Z

AMD should have priced the 5700XT at $379 at the absolute most. With the current pricing, it offers equivalent performance to the 2060S at the exact same price, but it doesn’t have ray tracing. Now you could argue that ray tracing isn’t very useful, but I’d rather have it than not. So why in the world would you buy one?

LMN8R · 2019-07-06T01:37:02.844Z

To me it’s not a mater of confusing naming, it’s a matter of over-saturation of models. Why does anyone need a proliferation of models which span every single $50-increment price point? Sometimes simplifying the lineup and extending the differentiation between each model is beneficial.

Yes, they do that on purpose. Here’s a full chart including EOL products.

And here with EOL removed.

If you didn’t fallow tech news or GPUs specifically, would you think FE or Super is the faster model, ignore price for the moment and just look at the name, now throw in FE TI. It just seems like they abandoned GT and GTX for whatever the hell it is we have now.

Alistair · 2019-07-06T02:57:46.945Z

RTX is just one more thing to worry about. I’d be turning it on and off, thinking is this better, is that? Better to skip until it’s matured a bit, say with the next console gen.

Edit: And specifically, that 1660 Ti looks plenty smart.

Rock8man · 2019-07-06T03:00:46.134Z

I thought there was a 2060 S coming too? But that’s not on that chart, so I guess not. As it is, the 5700XT seems the best value for performance. I think a 2060 S could be the answer to that.

stusser · 2019-07-06T03:28:23.416Z

Why yes there is, I missed it. Pretty complex! It’s basically a 2070 / 1080 at $399.

Jason_Becker · 2019-07-06T06:36:37.995Z

Its just one benchmark, but if legit the FarCry one listed shows the 5700XT is almost matching the 2070S not the 2060S. That’s more compelling with the Ray tracing as the wildcard.

Here’s a full chart including EOL products.

Shouldn’t Vega 56 be at the 1070/5700 level, not 1080/2070 level?

HighPlainsDrifter · 2019-07-06T13:02:19.015Z

If desperate for benches and you can’t wait one more day then check out weirdo Dark Helmet here:

At 1:45 5700 XT vs 2070 graphs shows Navi mostly winning at 1440p. At 11:00 it shows 5700xt trading blows with 2070 Super depending on game and this is in spite of costing $100 less.

I don’t understand Spanish so don’t know if he talks about test methods or system specs.

But if the numbers are reliable then Navi will be price/performance leader.

stusser · 2019-07-06T14:04:34.469Z

Yes, I fixed the chart, and moved the Vega56 to 1070-tier also.

rei · 2019-07-06T15:01:05.156Z

Thanks for compiling the info, @stusser.

fdsaion · 2019-07-06T15:56:34.866Z

lmao 3 years later the best you can do at the 1070 price point is a 1080-equivalent.

lordkosc · 2019-07-06T17:19:15.219Z

It offers DLSS and RTX features also!

;)

rei · 2019-07-06T17:37:45.694Z

What’s the verdict on DLSS for 1440p?

Nesrie · 2019-07-06T20:58:28.797Z

The chart isn’t messy enough; what about the 1070ti?

fdsaion · 2019-07-06T22:12:38.845Z

That easily slots in as ~1080

stusser · 2019-07-06T22:16:58.939Z

Yeah, it’s a 1080 minus a smidge.
