AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Beats GeForce RTX 2070 in a Spectrum of Games

[ratirt]

For Vega 64 owners like me I see this card as being better than the Vega VII at lower resolutions but should not be able to beat it at 4K but time will tell.

I think same. If this NAVI is that good as it is shown I will go for one. I still think AMD will release something at least touching the high end. If that happens I will get this.

My RX590 was in the need for a replacement.

Really? I think I will still wait a bit longer. I'd rather get Custom AIB solution. On the other hand maybe it is better to get it as soon as possible and wait for water block. I just need to know if it will be worth it. If water gives not much then there's no point for spending cash on a water.

I have a waterblock designed for a AM3+ socket planted on my RX590 with just a bunch of tiewraps and a bunch of napkins to hold the stuff together. Works outstanding, keeping the GPU at a stressed 60 degrees and running Furmark with a load of over 230W easily. Waiting for a AIB is'nt really needed here.

These aren't really 4K (60 FPS+/Ultra) capable cards in the first place. That said, I doubt its scaling will be much different. GDDR6 vs HBM2, there isnt a huge difference. Its not like the first gen against ddr4 where AMD cards with hbm REALLY caught up at 4k. The difference wasn't much if you look at existing reviews.

Wait... these have gddr6... so why would it scale better at a higher res?

The improvements to the architecture focused on gaming (Vega are at their heart compute cards) and (grain of salt) the benchmarks that they are showing. I give the Vega VII the nod at 4K because of the 16GB of HBM2 VRAM.

For any titles that can use more than 8GB, sure. Otherwise, HBM doesn't matter as much as it did the first time around going up against GDDR5.

Not bad, W1zz found the Radeon VII to be an average of just 6% faster than a RTX 2070, so good news for competition... bad news for Radeon VII owners.

Seems like the Radeon VII is becoming what Nvidia Titan was when it first came out

It's not "becoming", it's been created as such

a 750mm Navi will stomp the 2080 Ti

Cool, when is that out?

 

[Manoa]

lel xD
but you know mybe it will out in the end of the year
but the true is, in the way that it's going, preaty soon you will run graphics on the CPU soon it will mutch more faster than the (AMD) video cards

Half the die size for plenty of price. Su said she wants to increase margins.

Let's hope we don't get into $999 stand territory.

edit: As for stop-start fans. The concept seems to be useful for people who don't stress their GPUs all that often, as a dust-reduction measure. When fans aren't moving, they're not sucking in dust.

VII is limited by the cooler.And you can find most sites show that VII is faster than 1080 ti. Maybe TPU's test isn't really based on real performance.Most importantly, you can push VII to 2000mhz+ ,which beats 2080 easily.

So if you do an extreme overclock, use an expensive water cooler, make it even hotter than it already is, void the warranty and probably cut the lifespan down to a 1/3, risk stability issues, then it can match RTX 2080 at stock, which costs the same as Radeon VII.

If you're going to compare an overclocked Radeon VII, then you need to compare it to overclocked competitors.

There is no question about it; no matter how you angle it, Radeon VII is an inferior gaming choice both to RTX 2070 and RTX 2080.

If you choice a cheap water block(gpu xpm) and aluminum 240mm radiator，all the cooler system will cost under $100 . Moreover,with lower temperature, you should have longer life span. 2080 reference runs at 1.9g and you can only get 2.1g. Though VII has the same MAX frequency as 2080,but its stock frequency is just 1.7g ( throttleed by cooler). So both with MAX oc, VII is slightly faster than 2080.

You should provide a link.

I found one... though it agrees with TPU more or less...

The Radeon VII was 2% slower than the GTX 1080 Ti with our 12-game sample, now it’s 5% slower. No major changes, but for the most part the much older GTX 1080 Ti was faster. Moreover, it was faster by a 10% margin or greater in 10 of the 33 games whereas the Radeon VII was faster by a 10% margin or greater in only 2 of the 33 games.

Just keep digging yourself deeper and deeper.
Silicon quality varies a lot, and you can't expect to reliably overclock that much without giving it a lot of extra voltage, which in turns shortens lifespan significantly. Arguing about getting water cooling and doing extreme overclocking to keep up with the competition is just ridiculous. The competitor's alternative is cheaper, cooler, silent and reliable, there is no rational reason to prefer Radeon VII for gaming purposes.

The bolded one is something what a seller says.

An enthusiast knows what he's doing and that doesn't mean anything.

People buying cards in under $500 range should not care

7% diff is pretty much "on par" in my book.
Lol at two "world of tanks" games at the bottom of the chart.

 

[EarthDog]

7% is on par? Wow. Side note.. techspot's 2080 review shows it 1% faster than a 1080ti on average. So let's say 8%....not that will suddenly change your mind about it being on par.

Did you miss the passage I cut out from my link.... where ~1/3 games they tested are 10%+ faster vs VII was 2 of 31? There is a clear difference here overall. Clearly it isnt a huge difference but can be the difference between ultra and high/medium.

Thanks again for supporting my assesrtion!

AMD presented RX 5700XT performance in 10 games (no reviews), where on average it is ~6% ahead of RTX 2070 and you brag about AMD being faster!

Now the Radeon VII is 7% behind the RTX 2080 in more than 30 games (in reviews, not presentation) and suddenly that value is "on par".

Funny how the criteria change, depending on people preferences. Who cares about coherence, right?

Obviously Nvidia's 7% lead is made up of "bad/greedy" %, whereas AMD's 6% lead is "good/pixie dust" %
