AMD in a Facebook post late Friday confirmed that its Radeon RX 5700 series graphics cards will launch at reduced prices compared to what it announced at its E3-2019 product announcement. The Radeon RX 5700 XT will have a reduced MSRP of USD $399, which puts it on par with that of the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. The Radeon RX 5700 will cost $50 less, at $349, which puts its price on par with the original RTX 2060. The commemorative limited-edition RX 5700 XT AMD 50th Anniversary Edition is now reduced to $449. AMD didn't announce any changes to the two cards' launch bundle that include a 3-month Xbox Game Pass for PC.

Commenting on the development, AMD said "We embrace competition, which drives innovation to the benefit of gamers. In that spirit, we are updating the pricing of our Radeon RX 5700 Series graphics cards, launching July 7." The company added "We know that gamers will be thrilled once they have the opportunity to experience the amazing performance, stunning visual fidelity and highly responsive gameplay these new graphics cards provide. Making history on 7/7 as the first company to launch gaming CPUs and GPUs together - the first in 7nm and PCIe 4.0 - is all about pushing the ultimate gaming experience forward for as many gamers as possible."

EarthDogWhat's the over/under on the number of times this gets posted in the forums? :p

Were at 3 so far...!


As I said, they need to focus on their products, not marketing tricky and reindeer games.
One does not exclude the other, although one might get that impression from time to time... I kinda welcome an AMD that gets a bit more vicious and smart in business like that. They really got screwed over for not doing so in the past, many times.

Also, inb4 Nvidia game bundles to restore the balance. :p I doubt they'll cut price again.

Very stupid marketing by AMD, why did they release the prices way before launching the cards? The only winner of the release of the 5700 uttershit series is Nvidia.

Our only hope now is Stadia, or RIP PC gaming.
lexluthermiesterThat would have to happen on a day I have to work and have no internet access..
Don even bother mate, bad cards, bad f/p, nothing really worth.

That's a pretty narrow view on things, I'd say. Stadia, of all things, lol. Better off buying that overpriced GPU after all then.

Said it before and will say again: good things come to those who wait. And PC gaming will manage don't you worry, its never been better actually.

350 USD for x5700T
279 USD for x5700

Those are for me normal prices and we are not there yet.Nvdia should as well bring prices to these levels plus or minus 10 USD.

Oh yeah sure, game developers already favour consoles and mobiles for less development costs-efforts. Now after more domination, Nvidia will make it further harder with enforcing unnecessary stuff like RT RT and probably charge them for that as well and with making graphics card more expensive you will sure live the best years of PC gaming in next years

As I said, that is a narrow view of the market. The amount and variety of games getting a PC release is staggering these days and higher than ever before, and the quality and originality of games is at a pretty high level.

There are segments in each market and gaming is no different. Yes, mobile gaming is the biggest growth market, but PC gaming has also shown growth YoY for quite some time now - despite a decline in overall PC sales. That says a whole lot more than the price of a new GPU gen.

Another important thing is backwards compatibility. Old games are still very popular, and any time there is a lack of new interesting content, PC gamers can and will fall back to (heavily modded) older games very easily. The tank is simply never empty and commerce can suck on it. Why else do you think they want us to go about Stadia/streaming and always online? :p

But anyway - there IS interesting new content, and its more varied than it ever was, so yes, if you open your eyes and look outside your filterbubble for a bit, there are many gems to be had. And most of those run very well on relatively weak GPUs too.

Quite notmal for TPU to make basic typos and errors in their articles now. Its dissappointing.

470 mainboards work just fine.

Renting can be cheaper than buying, that is why most companies rent from other companies.

In PC world in particular, the cost of PC that idles for the most part of the day, instead of being run 24/7, can add up quickly.
Provided, of course, internet connection speed/lag issues are resolved.

Stadia could potentially give you high end PC experience for a fraction of hardware costs.

For software no, for this case yes, it is much cheaper and actually better, highest streaming quality at 4K/60fps/HDR as Google claims with many games over 5 years duration may still be half cheaper than buying a gtx 2080 ti.

springs113I honestly believed this and reiterated this to one of my friends the whole time. As far as I can recall, AMD usually don't reveal their prices so early, in fact no company I can think of does this without looking for a reaction from its competitor. I think it was all too get nVidia to show its hand and it worked like a charm(if you're looking from this perspective of course). I still think these cards would be great at $300 and$350 price segment.
At 7nm, AMD knew they could beat NVIDIA on price, so it was really just to get them to play their hand. Basically, they made NVIDIA work harder for less money, as this may not be the end of the battle for mid-range.

FourstaffRTX 2060 Super is at the $400 mark, we should expect 5700XT to either equal or just beat it?
My money's on slightly faster than the 2060 Super. Of course with less features and higher power draw.
AMD's hand picked titles show the 5700XT roughly on par with the plain 2070 and now we know 2060 Super is within 4% of that.

I'm guessing overall it's a bit (couple-few %) slower, but wins in "hand picked titles"....as well as the rest of what was said... more power and noise.

unikinNavi should cost $299/349/399 and even these prices are pushing profit margin higher than Polaris.
What insider information did you receive that allows you to make that claim? How do you know Navi cards cost the same, and not more, than Polaris to produce?

That what HE thinks it should cost.

Look at the size of the die and make silicon calculation. Even doubling the cost of 251 mm2 die gives $194 production costs and I highly doubt 7nm production costs are double. You don't have to be a genius to see AMD is rising margins over Polaris just like NVidia did with RTX. It's 2008 all over again AMD and NVIDIA holding hands in price fixing scheme again. They did it then and they're most probably doing it now. For god sake xx60/Polaris MID RANGE GPUs successors costing $350-450. What's wrong with consumers and reviewers today? 10 years ago they'd rip NAVI and RTX apart and they did it so back then with lawsuits accusing them of price fixing, now they're praising $+300 LOWER MID RANGE GPUS price tags. I'm getting too old for this shit. It's one of the worst if not the worst GPU market in last 25 years.

I may agree on everything else but the "less features" thing and not mentioning the bundles offered by AMD just made you look as an Nvidia spokesman or simply a fanboy

But its true, you can still decide what feature set appeals to you more. But its not just RTX. AMD is always a bit later with added features and broad support for them. Notable exception being Freesync; though even that was touched on recently.

These things do have weight for potential buyers, like it or not.

Bundles also have weight. But they arent GPU brand related features that you are 'stuck with'.

fair enough but it is easier said than done when your competitor is soo aggressive, that finger of disappointment should be aimed at them both, they need to stop effing about trying to do each other over with marketing snides and as you say concentrate on getting consumers a better deal, 4k, 8k, and 120Hz plus are only getting more popular as will adequate hardware to run it.

at vayra86 aside from cuda physx and RTX Nvidia brought nothing to the ecosystem and they only do so to profit more. ..

X64 ,tesselation, 1Ghz a few times, integrated memory controllers ,pciex4 ,dual cores ,quads, octos, the fastest processor(x86/64consumer) ,useful APU's, first to5Ghz, first quad Soc, many firsts in consumer max and multi cores, fisrt 7nm consumer gpu cpu ,vulkan and dx12 some would argue, HBM ,RPM ,primary shaders first 2d/3d Gpu and many more.
