how about some power consumption measurement?

and amd cards are best undervolted. please do this kind of test.
only german reviewers does this.

if you buy amd, you're suppose to manually tweak it. other wise get nvidia.

You got view the video properly or not? Power draw is highlighted.

Yes you can undervolt them, I do them too BUT review purpose - no.

Report is based on card as it is.

Will radeon 7 be available here looks like in newegg and Amazon it's out of stock

Yes, RM 3,299.

Limited stock.

For Rm3299 that is a pretty good price. My friend bought 2070 Strix for Rm3500. Can't cure a true fanboy.

reference card only, right ? No other third parties brands ?

i think i will wait for non reference model, 2070 for rm 2.5k also i feel wasted for 3.5k is insanely wasted

I have this feeling that aftermarket will be much more expensive and consume moar powah.

Yeah man, >RM3k for 2070 is a waste of money imo, considering you can get 2060 for under RM2k. Extra 2GB + 15% of performance does not worth >RM1k

RTX 2070 is OK. Your 8GB VRAM is good there.

Yesterday I just installed RX580 (Sapphire Nitro) in my system which I bought used and very cheap. I changed my GPU because my GTX1060 (Palit) had refused to work anymore - I sent it for RMA.
I tried playing several games which are Dragonage, Dragonage 2, Batman Arkham City and Tomb Raider (new trilogy). The first thing I notice the games look better with RX580.
All settings are the same. The textures look more detailed and the render distance is better. Watching movies also more pleasant with RX580 -default warmer color and more enjoyable.
I suspect nVidia implement some kind of aggressive compression to affect the frame rate thus sacrifice the texture quality. GTX1060 produced more washed out textures compared to RX580. Do you guys experience the same thing?
Before I used GTX1060, my older GPU was Radeon 7870. I did not notice the difference at the time because GTX1060 frame rate is miles ahead.

I noticed LOD, texture shimmering and render distance in GTA:V slightly worse when i switched from 290x to 980 Ti but that is all. Other game looks "normal".
Nvidia CP driver defaulted to limited dynamic range instead of full if u use HDMI and that makes the color less vibrance or washed out.

Could you compare again and post some screenshots when your 1060 back from RMA and rule out placebo?

We'll see.. I am planning to let go that GTX

if it wants moar powahhh we give it hahahaha

I don't know if we will see an aftermarket of this card though.

Btw you not interested in Vega 56? Saw a few for RM1k-RM1.3k in used market, still under factory warranty.
I'm too broke too even afford an RM1k card right now. Probably will retire from PCMR.

WHAT A MACHINEEEEEEE......... i also broke bought a 1080ti now wanna sell it and get radeon 7 because hand itchy. Was thinking about retiring PCMR also terus PS5

Damn, i got good offer on 1080 Ti too and i thought that could be my last GPU as PCMR but...


Meanwhile Radeon VII is pretty interesting, i wanna see the limit of this silicon. So far early adopter get pretty interesting overclock and undervolt results.

Mesa open source Radeon Linux driver RadeonSI received a patch to enable Primitive Culling with Async Compute and the result is huge performance boost for geometry heavy worloads. No result for games yet though, many games already have primitive culling baked in but not as efficient.

Yes radeon 7 is very interesting, its a compute monster

Radeon VII review by your favorite adorable AMD shill. (don't quote me on that)
He tested undervolting but not overclock. 3/5

The fan noise is scary loud especially at max speed.
10% increase for 10% core + 20% memory overclock.


Good thing this doesn't have 76 bajillions screws to open and replace the stock cooler.

I just bricked my power color rx580 red devil. Previous owner had mining bios on it and I tried to flash it using ati win flash with the driver at techpowerup.

Then my PC boot to no signal for monitor but everything else was working fine.

Recently I accidentally flashed my second bios and now the both bios is bricked....

Anyone can help? Thanks..
