    o Costs US$499

    o Performs "stronger than RTX 2070"

    No specialised raytracing hardware

    The cheapest RTX 2070 I found on Amazon.com can be picked up for $480. Although personally I'm not that bothered about Ray Tracing at this early stage, surely a card that has RTX hardware is going to seem more attractive to potential buyers. I don't imagine it'll out perform the 2070 by much.

    If this comes out and at least the 2060 comes down in price, I'll be fine with it - I'm just in the market for a new 1080p GPU. It'd be nice to go back to a Radeon again, it's been a while (HD 7850 was the last one).

    The Vega56 is close in performance to a 2060, beats it in some games, loses in others but can be had for £250 at Overclockers.

    That's a Sapphire Pulse as well which is one of the best ones.

    I brought one at 278 so will skip Navi and wait for Arcturus.

    It all seems too close to their current Vega price/performance.
    $400USD for a little more than 2060, when for ~$300USD you can get 2060-ish performance from Vega56?
    I thought Navi was supposed to be a good jump in price/performance?
    Benchmarks will be telling, but I'm pretty disappointed by the news above.

    Does not matter here, what matter is what runs best and fastests vs the coin spend... and nope 5-10 FPS is not really gonna be a game changer here as it is as most games as comes from consoles runs best at 60 FPS anyway ^^

    Looks like AMD might be following Nvidia's lead pricing wise. Hopefully this is just the highest RRP for fancier versions.

    Don't think these have any of the NV features, so price seems out of whack, but glad they are pricing higher these days as the gpu's make ZERO profits for them. Time to start making profits via higher ASP's. I really hope the 16 core $499 cpu pricing is wrong too, that won't make them much profit and will just cause a price war with Intel (does nothing). That chip should be 999 or something. INtel's 9960x 16 core is $1700. This is just stupid AMD, if true. If your 16 beats their 16, there is no reason to be below Intel's 9920x price of $1200 right? As long as there is NOTHING you lose in games or apps charge $1200 and down from there for other models. It is stupid to kill your own cash cows and they will only last for 18-24 months anyway most likely. Intel will be fixing fabs at some point I'd hope.
