AMD Announces Radeon Pro W5700 Professional Graphics Card Based on "Navi"
AMD today announced the AMD Radeon Pro W5700, the world's first 7 nm professional PC workstation graphics card. It delivers new levels of performance and advanced features that enable 3D designers, architects and engineers to visualize, review and interact with their designs in real time, dramatically accelerating decision-making processes and product development cycles.
The AMD Radeon Pro W5700 workstation graphics card features the high-performance, energy-efficient AMD RDNA architecture and state-of-the-art GDDR6 memory to handle large models and datasets, and is the first PC workstation graphics card to support high-bandwidth PCIe 4.0 technology. It is ideal for professionals who push performance beyond traditional 3D design by generating photorealistic renders of their concepts and reviewing virtual prototypes of their designs in virtual reality (VR) environments.
"Today's professionals need high-performance professional graphics hardware to better interact with their product concepts and make more informed decisions sooner in the design process," said Scott Herkelman, corporate vice president and general manager, Radeon Technologies Group at AMD. "We designed the AMD Radeon Pro W5700 to deliver significant performance gains in top design and manufacturing applications. Architects, designers and engineers now have the horsepower to drive demanding real-time and VR experiences, enabling a better and faster design creation process."
Key capabilities and features of the AMD Radeon Pro W5700 graphics card include:

I'll hold my breath till AMD puts out a GPU more powerful than the 2080Ti... Then I'll purchase the Nvidia successor instead.
Perhaps you could use your time thread crapping and play a game on your 2080Ti instead? Nah, better make sure everyone knows how much you love Nvidia and hate AMD for.......reasons..... Perhaps its the taste, or the texture.
On topic, where is the SSD slot on these new pro grade GPU's? It felt like AMD had something going with the ability to access huge amounts of storage for HD rendering and processing.
All RTX Quadro cards have a USB-C connector.
Also AMD doesn't explicitly call this VirtualLink, which smells fishy...It's a Radeon Pro SSG from 2017.But what's the point with PCIe 5.0 around the corner?
Who would waste money on developing such a pointless solution?
So yeah... we may see a Navi SSG replacement... ;)
Also, there's a great review of this card at techgage. Goes toe to toe with the RTX 4000. Depending on your workload, looks like a good buy. Definitely a better gamer/workstation combo card than the RTX 4000.
