AMD to Slash Radeon RX 5700 "Navi" Series Prices Ahead of Launch: $399 & $349
NVIDIA attempted to torpedo the Radeon RX 5700 "Navi" series graphics card launch with the introduction of its $499 GeForce RTX 2070 Super and $399 RTX 2060 Super. AMD claimed that its upcoming Radeon RX 5700 XT outperformed the original RTX 2070, while its smaller sibling, the RX 5700 outperforms the original RTX 2060. In its E3-2019 reveal, AMD disclosed launch prices of the RX 5700 XT and the RX 5700 to be USD $449 and $379, respectively. The RTX Super launch jeopardizes this, and so, according to VideoCardz, AMD is revising its launch prices.
The Radeon RX 5700 XT now reportedly launches at just $399, while the Radeon RX 5700 is priced at $349. The RX 5700 XT is claimed to beat the original RTX 2070, while the $399 RTX 2060 Super is slower than the RTX 2070. On the other hand, the RX 5700, which was claimed to beat the $349 original RTX 2060, is now price-matched with it, unless NVIDIA comes up with price-cuts. Older reports suggested that with the advent of the RTX Super series, NVIDIA would retire the RTX 2060 and RTX 2070, after the market digests inventories left in the channel. AMD's latest move is sure to disturb that digestion.
Update Jul 6th: This has been confirmed officially by AMD here.

Dear AMD, please DO NOT drop prices on already reasonably priced 5700 and 5700XT.
Instead, make attractive bundles for users going all AMD.
What was not expected, is that it consumes less power.
Which article? Oh, carry on, never mind.
I'm still on the fence whether an XT will replace my ageing Fury X or if I'll hold off for a potential 5800-series - I suppse we'll see.
rtx milking family.
IF we can get a card, that is a only a bit below RTX 2070 Super, but priced 20% lower, that is a really good deal.
- If they would've kept the current pricing they would be DOA
- There is no reason for Vega owners to upgrade to Navi since they're basically the same performance wise, making Navi already a tough sell.
- Congrats to AMD for these cards tho, they further cannibalized into that abomination that is RVII
- the 5% less power is hardly an advantage seeing that it's 7nm vs nvidia's inferior node, it's still by all means a power-hog, It's still GCN no matter how much lipstick they put on that pig.
- I really hope they let AIB's put custom cooling solutions on NAVI, their reference cards while looking ok-ish are hot and loud
But alas at least there are options for mid-range.... oh wait that's how it was for the past 3 years now... AMD needs to start competing for the high-end asap, they are funneling potential customers to nvidia with each new gen even if they keep saying that the money is in the mid-range that didn't work out so well for RTG since the RX 480 was out, now that Freesync works with nvidia's line-up it's actually even harder for AMD to make a strong selling point. At the end of the day it's RTG's work at it's finest, release a card, the competition is trashing them, price cut.

I would like to see 5700 perform close to RTX 2070 or 5700XT perform close to Radeon VII, at the end of the days everyone is looking at price to performance first, bundle can come later.
what's going on ? don't do it man all the cards are suckx, you whant the 750mm navi the arcturus it the future

Before you spill any further garbage, my last Nvidia card was GTX 280, so don't bother accusing me of fanboyism. The only fanboy here is you.
The 7nm is just out. Give it a go bro, don't stamp on it just yet. Let AMD try at least. What's it to you if it fails if you won’t be buying it anyway.
Navi consumes less power than RTX equivalent cards, which means it will run cooler. 5% is not that low if you ask me. We been seeing Intel going year after year for 2-3% performance wise and likes of you would still call it great. Hypocritical from your side a bit.
It's not you.
It's nVidia.
You shouldn't feel pain in the butt when reading stuff about it.
Chill. Because?
It competes with 2060S/non-s, and should perform accordingly.
Yeah sure,
hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/131555-the-architecture-behind-amds-rdna-navi-gpus/
It's neither full CGN nor full RDNA (that would be interesting to look at when the new gen is out in 2020). Because they need market share and they don't have a product that can blow the competition out of the water. To put it short if it can't perform better, make sure it's cheaper.
