At first I got really excited for the new Radeon VII GPU when watching live AMD Keynote at CES (besides the stupid name), but when the comparison to the RTX 2080 turned out to be pretty much equal I looked at my awesome 1080Ti and cried a little that the latest & greatest, first 7nm GPU from AMD is pretty much just as fast as this. And it's last gen 
Also, Lisa Su said "25% more performance at the same power" so it's still power consumption of a Vega 64, the difference is that it doesn't' perform like a 1080, but like a 1080Ti/2080... Not that impressive for 7nm...
EDIT: Also, it's going to be available on February 7th and it's going to cost $699...

yeah....no ray tracing...25% slower than 2080ti...industry leading they say?!
They litteraly deliver a GTX 1080ti contender.

yeah...and it doesnt look like we are getting the Zen 2 CPU's either the keynote is almost over and for some reason they talking esports now...
8 core Zen 2 for esports...highly doubt it

@Spotty No, I don't think there was any price information or any release date.

@i_build_nanosuits $849 MSRP doesn't seem realistic. That's Asus ROG STRIX & EVGA FTW3 Ultra RTX 2080 territory.

@i_build_nanosuits Maybe at least it'll be an excellent overclocker or something thanks to that 7nm process, Vega 56 for instance was an excellent overclocker once you tweaked it a bit, it did draw a lot of power though
Doesn't look promising so far though, it should have been AT LEAST $599 IMO.

@Morgan MLGman Agreed. $699 is the same MSRP as the RTX 2080. If it only matches it in rasterisation performance and doesn't offer RayTracing (as useless as that is right now), then $699 is definitely too much for it. $599 would have been the sweet spot to really put pressure on Nvidia.
I missed most of the presentation. Did they say what memory they were using in it? Is AMD still using HBM2? -
