AMD Radeon Navi RX 3080 with NVIDIA RTX 2070 Level Performance to Cost $330?

The flagship Navi GPU will be named the Radeon RX 3080 and will reportedly feature 56CUs, slightly less than the Radeon VII.

Interesting rumors... if true, Nvidia will counter with a new lower end GPU at 350 dollars and/r slash the 2070's price to 400 (or bellow).

That said if this "leak" is to be believed Navi is power hungry and runs hot(at 7nm no less) - not that ideal for consoles with tightly stacked hardware.

Not ideal no. But pcs have many more 'hot' parts to cool.. Namely a huge power supply and much faster / hotter cpu. Makes the whole thing run hot.

Consoles have those too.

You made speculations based on rumors to say the obvious thing,Consumers PC parts don't make any sense when it comes to consoles.

Seeing the same old GCN efficiency problems would be disappointing, albeit not surprising considering it's still based on GCN. Luckily for consoles GCN's efficiency tends to get much better at lower clocks and lower voltages, which is what you'd get in a console anyway.

I know Jim has legitemate sources but at this point there really isn't much of a reason to keep speculating about Navi any further. We'll hear the official version by the end of the month and get all the details a couple months down the line when Navi launches.

that's a good value. if only CUDA wasn't just on nVidia, most of my rendering software make use of CUDA...

Over a 5 minute Render its like 14 seconds Quicker, the last time I looked

if you want faster rendering you need a better cpu

[Malice-Flare]

i don't use my CPU for rendering 3D graphics...

[Bladesfist]

We heard the same low cost rumours about the Radeon VII and look how that ended up. I don't expect the first few 7nm chips to be cheap until yields improve and the process matures.

[Father__Merrin]

The fact that nvidia will be forced to slash is proof nvidia are greedy and rinsing the fanboys

[indysurfn]

Well Said!

If they can come out with an RX 3080 at the same performance level as an RTX 2070 for $330.00, then perhaps they can come out with a more affordable RTX 2080 competitor. Just for arguments sake, lets call the potential RTX 2080 competitor the RX 3090, and if it were to launch at least a year after the Radeon VII and cost a couple hundred dollars more than the RX 3080 ($530.00), I would be all over this like white on rice.

I think that having an RX 3090 launch at least a year after the Radeon VII, should be an adequate amount of time for those who have purchased the Radeon VII, as to not feel burned. People who bought the Radeon VII already knew that Navi was coming out anyway.

Edit:

Nevermind, it's even better than I thought. I just read that there is an RX 3090 being planned, and the launch price will be $430.00 :D - and this card is supposed to match Radeon VII levels of power. They are also planning the RX 3090 XT, which will launch at $500.00 and will be 10% more powerful than a Radeon VII. I'm pretty f***n hyped about this!
