AMD RX 5700 Series Reportedly Enter EOL - No Longer Manufactured
Update, October 7th 2020: AMD has confirmed it has ceased production for the RX 5700, but that RX 5700 XT manufacturing will be ongoing at least until 1Q2021. It's unclear what this means for the company's RDNA2 launch plans; it could be speculated the company will be releasing halo products first, with lower tiers being launched at a later time, in line with NVIDIA's usual launch cadence. This would justify the RX 5700 being kept in fabrication, since with a substantial price cut, it could become a mainstream AMD product).
A report originated from Cowcotland paints AMD as having ceased production on the Navi 10-powered RX 5700 XT and RX 5700. No reference or custom designs are currently being manufactured for either of these GPUs. AMD having ceased production on these cards makes sense, considering the upcoming announcement for the RX 6000 series scheduled for October 28th. This serves as a way for the supply channel to keep draining its supply of RX 5700 cards ahead of the upcoming RDNA 2 solutions. Them being discontinued means that AMD is looking to replace them - at least price-wise - on their product stack.
Interestingly, it appears that the RX 5600 XT is still being manufactured - it's likely AMD reduced manufacturing of Navi 10 so as to feed only this GPU, which should, as such, remain in the market for a little while until AMD launches an RDNA 2 equivalent - if those are the company's plans. TSMC capacity is freed for additional wafers for other AMD product requirements - which, with both Zen 3, next-gen consoles, and RDNA 2 all launching between the same time frame - should tend towards infinity.

If you look at the market share they barely exists, so what they release now is the GPU from consoles pushed to the limits with probably very shaky drivers.
It might be a good architecture but for AMD it's a cash grab, a quick way to make some money but no real intention to actually compete with Nvidia.
They mimic some competition but they really don't care, i have a Polaris GPU ( sapphire rx480), bought it 4 years ago and they still didn't fix the fan problem, after some time you hear the fans spinning 100% and then 0, you reset the fans in the drivers and problem pops again after a day or two, it waits for the gpu to hit an absurd temperature, ramps up the fans to 100% then it goes to 0 and waits again.
The fix is custom fan curve but it resets after a day or two.
4 years and still no fix, this is really annoying and i rarely play games, who knows what problems they have in new titles and how much time passes before they fix the bugs.
This is a fake rumour thread about 5700 going Eol which it isn't.
I'm off to play squadrons on my vega64 without issues while you have a think, is it me? , Perhaps it is, perhaps I should have been on topic at least once.
You are on about the right company at least,.
Oh and news flash Companies are built to make money, and tech companies do that by releasing tech to sell(Cash grab my ass).

If you do some light gaming and work like video editing you quickly discover there is better support for Cuda in most plugins and editing programs, even the big ones like Adobe favor Cuda.
The reason you play Star wars squadrons without issues is because it's made by a giant company that has the money to troubleshoot everything, good luck with titles from smaller developers.
Now your points about Cuda being supported better on Nvidia and Adobe supported superiority?
Your all over the place bro , still not on topic.
Are we bothered about pro uses which AMD goes with Open standards or game's which I have tried vast amounts of without issues who knows, start a, I hate AMD butthurt thread and stop shit posting here.
None of which is on topic.
Every AMD card I had did Folding @home simulation work on non cuda code without issues for two to three years non stop too so done right open source is fine.
Now try a comment on the 5700 going Eol but not because it isn't.
Your name should have been opaqueifier.
Apple actually took the job to properly optimize for Amd cards but unfortunately they do it exclusively for Mac, they now have Metal Api for Adobe suite.
So windows users are stuck with opencl and poor support from Amd.
It's not enough to have a lot of raw power if you can't use it.
Do you want to talk about Nvenc vs VCE ? another thing Nvidia does better.Do a google search on the fan problem on AMD cards and then talk about it, genius.
We also saw recent and past issues with Nvidia and AMD, but none of that shits relevant to this thread.
As I said this is not an AMD butthurt thread, try starting your own moan thread instead of just shit posting irrelevant stuff to a random thread and you will find many to agree or debate with.
Now it's video playback issue thing wtaf, anything else?
So go back to post one , have a read , what's the title say!?.
Is your next post about that?
I'm off to carry on the!Raw power! Use without issues ,chat to yourself if you like, only you know what your point is Anyway.
Though tbh I doubt you do.
Fast, cool-running, reliable.
Best bang-for-buck, bar none.
Seems Navi was another design that was maybe pushed a little too far. With the way the cards try to max their clocks on their own, maybe they were doing so a little too aggressively. I hope the 6000 series refines that technology.
ikr?
Sure, you can find factory overclocked 300W monster 5700XT examples, just as you can find equally stupid power-hungry variants of RTX cards, but stock-vs-stock the 5700 is more power efficient and dumps out less heat than either the 2060 or 2060S it competes with. The XT is pushed harder so suffers a bit but it's still within 10% of the 2070 it handily beats in most situations.
Like me, you can be disappointed that AMD chose to crank TSMC's 7nm process towards peformance rather than efficiency by default, but at least the AMD driver gives you extremely fine control of the voltage curve, clocks, power target, fan speed curve. I can't say I'm particularly happy about Nvidia's complete lack of of official tuning support, nor do I like that the FE cards have awful fan control and sub-par idle noise levels.
I ditched my FE for a AIB RTX card and I'm still not that impressed by the limited control over voltage and fan speed I have using third party utilities. My supposedly 'awful' 5700XT reference card in the HTPC is both faster and quieter than the RTX that I'm typing this on, under any and all situations, which is exactly why I put that card in the cramped HTPC case and connected it to the more demanding 4K TV.
The 5700-series is simply a way better product for the high-resolution, quiet and efficient gaming than either my FE or 3rd-party RTX 2060/2070S and after the insane power draw, stability issues, and unmet expectations of the 3080, I'm really looking forward to see what Big Navi can do at 4K....I've been wholly underwelmed by every RTX experience I've tried at home. GI (SotTR and ME) has generally been something you only notice in side-by-side screenshots, it's pretty subtle. Reflections in Control and BFV were perhaps the most striking visual difference but the performance hit on my 2060 and 2070S were too much to ask for the graphical improvement. Faked non-RTX reflections and shadows are fine, and I get to run them at 4K60 which is far bigger improvement than some subtle effect tweaks.
Perhaps if I had a 2080Ti I'd have changed my mind but that's literally 3x the price for a feature that isn't in that many games and RTX-ON at $1200 is still barely the performance of a $400 solution with RTX-OFF. I'm sure people who spent big on 2080Ti cards are defensive of their purchasing decisions but I'm telling you that the mainstream RTX experience was a damp squib. You missed out on nothing important, unless you've found a game-changing RTX title that I haven't tried yet....
