![]() AMD was showing that 35% performance gains with Radeon VII over Radeon RX Vega 64 in Battlefield V and 25% more in Fortnite. Lisa Su’s 2019 CES keynote though and we will leave you with that. AMD showed off a glimpse of performance during Dr. Our review will be up in a few days when Radeon VII launches on February 7th for $699 and we’ll be able to talk about performance then. Lastly, the back of the card has a silver full coverage backplate to help add rigidity to the cards black PCB, protect the components on the back and keep it looking good. When it comes to video outputs there are three full sized DisplayPort connectors and one standard sized HDMI port. The AMD Radeon VII has two 8-pin PCIe Power Connectors located at the end of the top edge of the graphics card to feed the beast. AMD says that the Radeon VII has 1 TB/sec of memory bandwidth. Each stack of memory has 4GB of HMB2 memory and make up the cards 16GB frame buffer. Here you can see the Vega GPU that is built on the 7nm process in the middle surrounded by four stacks of Samsung HMB2 memory. AMD has kept the ‘R’ for Radeon lighted cube on the corner of the card. The card has a silver fan shroud, three axial fans and cooling fins that run across the top of the card. One of the cool features with the GPU stand base is that AMD placed the new chip that powers this beast into the stand itself. This just happens to be the same exact stand that was on display at CES 2019, so it was a little weird to us that AMD embargoed unboxings despite this already being shown off. Inside the box we discovered the Radeon VII graphics card and a stand for it with RGB lighting. The AMD Radeon VII has 60 compute units running at up to 1.8GHz and promises to have 25% more performance at the same power. ![]() This shrink has allowed AMD to get higher clock speeds and better power efficiency and that is what makes Radeon VII such an exciting release as it should easily out perform the first generation AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 cards. Radeon VII was named Radeon Seven since the Vega GPU was shrunk down to 7nm. With 16GB of HBM2 memory, up to 1TB/second of memory. We’ve been pounding on AMD’s Radeon VII and while we can’t talk about performance just yet, we can give you a glimpse of the card and the special press kit that was sent to reviewers.Īll reviewers got the card in a special black box that said AMD Radeon VII on the front with a modified Vega GPU logo on the upper left hand logo that is fitting for this card. AMD Radeon VII packs mega memory muscle and great graphics performance enabling hyper-realistic visuals. Still, these improvements weren’t nearly as stark as the jump from the Nvidia GTX 1080 to the RTX 2080.The AMD Radeon VII has been something that we’ve been benchmarking and gaming on for a number of days here at Legit Reviews. Across our synthetic testing, we saw dramatically higher scores while games ran five to 15 frames per second (fps) faster. We hope AMD will improve capability with the DirectX 12 with upcoming driver updates, as it’s the latest suite of tools used by most game developers.ĭespite these hangups, the Radeon VII represents a major generational leap over the Radeon Vega 64. It runs neck-and-neck with its green-tinted rival on the Fire Strike (Ultra) DirectX 11-based benchmarks but falters on the DirectX 12-based TimeSpy (Extreme) scores.įor these reasons, the Radeon VII didn’t wow us with amazing frame rates in our gaming benchmarks, which we all run in DirectX 12 mode. ![]() Storage: 512GB Samsung 960 Pro M.2 SSD (NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4)Ĭooling: Thermaltake Floe Riing 360 TT Premium EditionĪs we hoped, the Radeon VII is an impressive graphics card that beats the Nvidia RTX 2080 – though, only in some areas without outright destroying its competitor. Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming The Radeon VII also features 3,840 of AMD’s Graphics Core Next (GCN) cores and a maximum boost clock of 1,800MHz – about 300MHz faster than the Vega 64 – matching the factory overclock Nvidia applies to the Founders Edition version of the GeForce RTX 2080.ĬPU: 3.7Ghz Intel Core i7-8700K (hexa-core, 12MB cache, up to 4.7GHz) All of that HBM2 memory is also going to appeal to creative and professional users who use applications like Adobe Lightroom and Sony Vegas. That might sound like an absurd amount of VRAM, but high-res games already often require more than 8GB of memory. The only other graphics card to feature more video memory than that is the $2,499 (£2,399, AU$3,999) Nvidia Titan RTX. This GPU also touts twice as much video memory as the previous model with a whopping 16GB of HBM2 VRAM. According to AMD, its new 7nm process allows this GPU to increase performance by 25% overall over last year’s model without requiring any more power. Comparatively, the Nvidia’s Turing architecture just managed to hit 12nm. The Radeon VII was the first graphics card to be built on AMD’s – or anyone’s, really – 7nm architecture. ![]()
