Rumor: AMD RX 5950XT, RX 5950, RX 5900 and RX 5800 XT submitted to EEC
- Thread starter Earvin Infinity
- Start date
And Sapphire submitted pretty much the same list to the EEC back in June. This doesn't necessarily mean those cards are coming, and it certainly doesn't mean they are coming Soon™.
How are AMDs drivers nowadays compared to Nvidia re: stability? I've been an Nvidia user since the TNT2 Ultra but the new AMD cards intrigue me, I just keep seeing horror stories about the drivers being very unstable.
reviews on cards are rife with driver issues, i'm too wary to try it myself but last time I asked on the PC build thread most seem to have said its ok/have found stable drivers

Issues were not specific drivers/suite, was microcode specifically for 5700 series. WHich were rushed from amd and board partners. Drivers for polaris, vega cards are and were solid.
Radeon Vii was rough but was corrected within first month or so of card's launch. Actually if reviewers had the drivers from March/April reviews would have looked a little different.
It's disappointing to hear about the continued software issues with AMD cards given the headway they've made on the price to performance on the hardware side. I'd be lying if I said that didn't give me major pause about switching from Nvidia (but man, I'd love to). I hope the next round of cards from them sorts it out!
Thanks for the answer, will check out the reviews if it is Big Navi that is coming. I have a 1080 Ti at the moment but I do want to upgrade at some point as I'm getting the itch.
The 7nm GPU war has begun. With Nvidia announcing their cards early in march being rumored these new products will be in direct competition. Hopefully AMD brings the heat so we have competitive pricing.
Wasn't the rumor that Nvidia's stuff is coming in August? It would be great if the GPU competition started early.
Yeah, I'd heard August as well. If AMD and Nvidia are moving plans up to get the Cyberpunk upgraders, great, but I've personally not heard anything to indicate that's going to happen. Especially in the light of AMD firing a blank in the form of the 5500XT.
The latest rumor is Ampere will be revealed at GTC in march.
After seeing those gaudy-ass numbers on the Threadripper 3990X, anything is possible.
If they manage that kind of improvement and keep it below $1000, let alone at the Radeon VII price point, they will have ended the game.
This is likely just a blanket declaration of possible trademarks / product names to the customs authorities. Doesn't mean anything regarding such products existence or the timeframe of their introduction. It just makes sense to cover all possible options in one sweep.
Doubt it. I think all these cards from AMD and Nvidia are coming second half. Its going to be a war.
Nvidia's pricing is going to be fascinating coming off the 20XX series.
It's never been more than a month or so between a new GPU announcement and it going on sale for NV during the last ten or so years. I don't see why it would change with Ampere, considering that Turing is still unbeatable in features and performance (and price).
That being said, GTC is a compute/AI focused event and it's highly likely that this Ampere which will be announced there will end up being GA100/AM100, a replacement for GV100 Volta. And it will likely become widely available at the end of the year, similar to how it was with GV100 and GP100 previously.
