Among the enthusiasts yeah, not a head turner. But bulk of their market right now is from mid to low end.
But I really hope they finally have something at the top end.

Well I'm just thinking that 2080's are around $700-800, so if AMD's offering is similar price and performance, it doesn't give people a reason to pick Team Red over Team Green (especially with Nvidia choosing to now support FreeSync).

Do we know if there's anything resembling RTX or DLSS support from AMD's new lineup? Because if there isn't (even though these features are largely unavailable in games anyway), it's even less reason to pick AMD this go around.

Prices usually go down over time after announcement. Well unless mining becomes a thing again
There are 2080s in Amazon that go for mid $800 so AMD is still lower. But I'm sure Nvidia prices will also drop (a bit) once these cards are released as always.

I dont know about this. They really didn't elaborate on the specs and features of Radeon 7. Maybe when we get closer to February release.

You can spend mid $800s on a higher end 2080 but you can also get ones for 700 right now.

Yeah, you're right. I guess my point is, the announced price of $699 can go up or down at some point and so as Nvidia's prices. So we'll have to wait and see until these cards finally hit the shelves.

My guess is Radeon VII will edge the 2080 on Division 2 and DMC 5 but about the same on BFV. AMD is bundling 3 games too which may attract some folks who are rocking a 1060/580 looking to upgrade.

[jinda628]

I feel like AMD left us hanging again on their GPU announcement. I was expecting them to aanounce different variants.
Even the CPU feels like a tease only. Although it looks like an insult to Intel when AMD matched Intel's top i9 vs their 8c16t CPU which is probably just a Ryzen 5 which could cost $229 the most.

I wonder what will be Intel's answer to the higher Ryzen 7 and 9.

Sunny Cove supposedly.

im in that boat, rx480 looking to upgrade, but this card was $250 at launch.. same as the gtx1060. People in this boat normally are not looking at a $700 card, but the next "budget" card that amd failed to announce, but nvidia has already announced with support of freesync (rtx 2060, rumors of 1160) while amd still making people wait for navi announcement in the summer.

[jinda628]

Sunny Cove supposedly.

10nm vs 7nm.
Intel has always had more density on their cores so this will be interesting.

How long before reviewers can posts numbers for the AMD CPU?

This could take time as AMD said CPUs will come out middle of the year. Maybe sample leaks will be out April/May the earliest?

[dizzin9]

Oh, wtf.. I thought they were supposed to launch Feb/March?

No way I'm waiting till the summer, guess that settles my Ryzen3/9900K debate.

Yep, by that time Intel 10th gen/10nm will be out to compete with Ryzen 3

[InstantLoser]

Gives me time to put more money away I guess. I wonder if they'll launch the Threadripper chips at the same time, or if that'll be even later in the year. Maybe I should look for a deal on a 2920x.. has another 300Mhz boost over my 1920x...

Do we know how many PCI Express lanes will be offered by the Ryzen 9's? Probably still 16.. just seems like with that many cores, maybe they'd up it to 24 or something.

[Xinroth]

Seems moronic (for now) to have it priced at $700. They needed something special to get nvidia to fuk off

It’s already 24

[InstantLoser]

Well yeah but I mean you only get 16 I think for GPU's, and the rest are chipset for M.2 and SATA bandwidth, right?

[DualBandWiFi]

Poverty CES so far.

>$700 GPU
>1080ti performance 3 years later for same price
>Apparently huge power draw (7nm and triple fan 2x8pin power REFERENCE design just lol)
>16gb of HBMeme


>8k mainstream tv's, what a meme seriously.

[elterrible987]

ivy bridge crew checking in. lol at your new processors.

These came in today ^_^

got myself a lot of hard-tubing work ahead of me

Fukkk... mirin hard. Really excited to see the final product. Grats dude.

Nice! But is 1200W enough?

Thanks Bro! Much appreciated!

Should be. These cards pull 373watts each max. Evga makes really high end psu's and this one is platinum rated

[InstantLoser]

Also....

[dizzin9]

Also....

Yes on low settings

[EliteBrah]

Can't see chit captain, tiny pic is no good here, try imgur.

bout to join the master race tomorrow picking up a used PC from /hardwareswap
already got my gsync monitor ordered and Anne Pro 2 60% keyboard


wish me luck boyos!

Nice bro, I’m waiting on my Durgod TKL.

das it mane watercooling ftw

Feb is the GPU brah.
I'm also hoping its earlier so I can replace my jurrasic 4790K lol.

I decided to go with 2 large pumps/reservoirs with my build. Do i need them? No.. i can get away with 1 small single but it just looks so much better this way. Im gona separate the gpu's and cpu. 3 radiators in total. the cpu gets its own 360 while the gpus get a 480 and a 120. Space is getting tight o.O

As for colors, should i go with 2 colors or 1? Im thinking to go orange and green

What case did you go with? If you're doing 2 loops, might as well go with 2 colors.

If going dual pump then might as well go all out.
