Radeon VII Priced 739€ in the EU, France and Spain Only Have Dozens of Cards

[btarunr]

Hot on the heels of our earlier report of there being just 100 Radeon VII graphics cards in stock to sell in the UK, we're hearing from French tech publication Cowcotland of an even worse situation in the Old Continent. Apparently, there are only 20 cards allocated to France and Spain, each. The price Cowcotland reports for the card is 739€ (including VAT), although paucity of cards could allow retailers to price the card just about anything, if there is demand for them. AMD has not given retailers in Europe inventory replenishment dates. Factories in China are down for the Lunar New Year holiday there, and depending on demand, another production run could be underway only by mid-thru-Late February, with fresh stocks reaching Europe only a month after.

It's practically vaporware.

If it has 2080ish performance, 70 EUR less for twice the amount of VRAM is pretty nice and it will sell out quick.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Hey, no fear of it not selling out.

You should get real. Definitely they will sell 140 cards in 150 millions market

Cheapest with crap coolers , no thanks

At this point they should number them...like on limited edition cars.

That's the thing, i honestly don't see this card actually beating the 2080. It's going to use more power, put more heat into your case (and subsequently into your room) and give 5-10% less performance in most games. Barring the few outliers where GCN has historically done really well in, obviously. 16GB is nice to have but not an absolute deal breaker on the 2080 only having 8. Oh and the 2080 also gives you RTX.

I am being harsh on the VII but I honestly don't see the value. I am almost certain they will sell out with just this few cards, because there's AT LEAST that many enthusiasts who only need it to be the fastest Radeon on the planet to have an excuse to buy it (Like me, if i wasn't broke xD)

It will be priced 759€ here(24% VAT) and 729€ in Germany(19% VAT). So you can't really say what it will cost in EU, because of different VAT between independent countries. Non-VAT price for it will be somewhere 610-613€.

Sound a bit expensive shop, try Mindfactory.

I'm thinking the same, RT Is the future in some form, but RTX2xxx is not what gonna bring it.
RTX cards are great for game devs for sure!

What are they going to mine with it? Coal? There is no GPU mining market right now.

you obviously missed this

No I didn't. You obviously missed the profitability of mining right now.

Edit: Add to that, the amount of VRAM doesn't matter (mostly), its the speed. So that 570 is rather useless.

 

[Joss]

Is it only me that find these numbers absurd?
Only a few hundred cards for the whole of Europe surely there's something wrong.

 

[15th Warlock]

The way this card was launched is starting to make it look like the literal definition of a halo product... A knee jerk reaction and stopgap measure until Navi.

 

[HTC]

Still beats a paper launch, no?

Not that it's that much better, but still ...

If you think more VRAM won't increase performance of mining , then you're completely wrong. in Opencl Driver , Max memory allocation Must be 1/2 Total Vram ( Just run clinfo in windows ) , now with 16GB , Max memory allocation will be 8GB , in some algorithm , It can boost performance by a decent margin like NIM , XMR , hell even with my RX480 , I can't increase memory allocation to more than 4040 mb ( 56mb is reserved ).

Keyword, mostly.

The Ventus has excellent coolers, almost inaudible.

Anyone putting MSI and "cheap coolers" in the same sentence is probably high or drunk

 

[kastriot]

Well Europe is not USA

 

[king of swag187]

So is this the RTX 2080 competition I have been hearing about?

 

[kings]

And people say RTX availability is bad...

It's a PR stunt card, just to say they're alive in this segment, nothing more.
