• AMD did not release a high end card in the 5000 series.
• A high end card is naturally going to have more video memory to handle higher resolutions.
• AMD released a 7nm 16GB HMB2 card on February 7th, 2019.
• AMD has had more money for R&D to justify investments in lower margin products such as Radeon video cards.
• AMD releasing a 16GB card with GDDR6 is not an unreasonable assumption.

It is possible that AMD could separate the two variants like NVIDIA done with GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and Titan RTX, so the 16 GB variant is a bit faster, possibly featuring a higher number of streaming processors.

The Quim ReaperI'll be interested to see just how good AMD's first hardware ray tracing solution is, compared to Nvidia's second generation iteration in Ampere.

If it only performs at say current Turing levels, that will be a big disadvantage for someone like me to even consider swapping over from Nvidia, saving $50-$100 on the purchase price is nice but it wouldn't be enough to make me go AMD if the future of graphics rendering performs considerably worse on Navi 2, and then there is the matter of traditional 3D raster performance, which needs to be within 5-10% of Ampere's.

Chrispy_I honestly think that Nvidia has a ~20% architectural advantage over AMD but it doesn't matter if TSMC's advantage over Samsung is greater than that.

bonehead123And since the current crop of 11GB cards are really, really expensive as compared to the 8/6GB models, so if you want one of the above, perhaps you should shore up your finances, then put your banker and HIS gold cards on retainer, hehehe ..:roll:..:eek:...:fear:..

arbiterLets be real when was their last legit high end card? They have had nothing that compete with current line up that wasn't like 2 years late.

Xex360I wonder what will the new consoles do, their 16gb seemed low when they were announced only 4gb more than the One X, was expecting at least 24gb.

gridracedriverif full chip rdna2 are 16GB it means that the bus is 512bit, nVidia's Killer?
