Vya Domus400$ still isn't cheap for a chip of this class.

Razrback16Question - I haven't ran AMD cards for probably 6-8 years, so I am curious - do all AMD cards support multi gpu these days? I haven't kept up on their architecture with regard to multi gpu support.

Thanks.

HenrySomeoneOnly the 9700 Pro was faster for a noteworthy amount of time, not even being beaten by the 5800 ultra 6 months later, all others were equal (X800Xt + lacking Shader model 3.0) or just released slightly ahead; 7970 was beaten bloody just 2 months later by the 680 and 290x wasn't even faster than the then almost year old 780 when both were OCed, not to even mention the Titan and the 780TI just 2 weeks later. AMD has been nothing but a follower for more than a decade now (a very poor one in the last 5 years)

medi01So, 5700 is faster than 2060 Super, consumes less power and costs 5% less, but still needs "price fixing" eh? Because of that DXR, that works in less than 1% of the titles and weven where it does, most users disable it on 2060?

Dear AMD, please DO NOT drop prices on already reasonably priced 5700 and 5700XT.
Instead, make attractive bundles for users going all AMD.

FluffmeisterA price drop BEFORE launch? Looks like the new super cards have worked their magic and done consumers a favour.

RaendorIndeed. Amd fanboys should thank NVIDIA for better priced navi, although it’s still carrying over the lackluster gcn legacy.

I NoBut 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.

B-RealYeah, the Super release wasn't because NV had about 49% decrease in GPU sales since RTX released.

Manu_PTI see too much bla bla bla here. AMD lowered the prices for one reason only. They aren´t as good as people think and will be inferior to Nvidia previously comparable offers. As simple as that. I´m on this industry for almost 2 decades. You can find the excuses you want. Slashing prices on a non released product is never good. See you in 2 days on the reviews.

Vayra86Got a source for that? Damn.

I don't see that. RX5700 seems to perform similar to the RTX 2060 Super.


45%, sorry.

FluffmeisterSounds more like a mining hangover to me, but both B-Real and medi01 tend to froth at the mouth when it comes to their beloved and their most hated.

FluffmeisterThey had an excess of Pascal stock, the link you read very quick says so.

God bless mining.

Vayra86Its a WCCFTech link. They just copy paste the news pieces leading up to this and make a story. But sure, it is also the official statement, so I guess that is true and RTX is a smash hit ;)

Vya DomusThey had an excess of Pascal cards so people didn't buy ... anything ?

:roll:

plonk420surprised nobody linked this yet (amd employee/higher up)

plonk420ah, seems i scrolled a bit too fast. was expecting more people to be quoting it

15th WarlockNo, the Titan came before the 290X, at almost double the price, I know this because I had a Titan SLI rig at the time.

Back then AMD kept Nvidia on its toes, even the 680 was a reactionary measured to counteract the 7970 for $50 less, I know too cuz I had a quad 680 setup at the time.

The point is, back then, both Nvidia and AMD kept going back a forth in both terms of pricing and performance through their whole product stack.

Now that AMD is not competitive at the high end, Nvidia can price their cards as they please and still hold the performance crown.

Competition is good for all costumers.

HenrySomeoneThey don't have a choice unless they want most of their cards to languish on the shelves for months and then be forced to discount them even more. That said, I still think prices will drop lower than this before the end of the year.
