here is some chatter on the web whether or not AIB product will be available for the pending AMD NAVI series aka Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT. During the AMD tech days, we asked this question and got answers for you on it. 

So yes, there will be AIB (custom) cards for the new Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT, however, these will not be available during launch in a few weeks, but roughly one month later. The thing is that AMD does mind AIB product to be available in early July, it merely is a matter of logistics. The information and GPUs went out to the AIB partners, but simply takes them a little more time to finish up their designs. The board partners will release the reference products on that date. Of course, you might see an off review before actual AIB availability but the general consensus will be as described below.

So AIB Radeon 5700 and 5700 XT cards is a definite yes, and they will become available roughly one month after the reference launch on the 7th.

Small Tidbit of News on the 5700XT and 5700.

 

This should appease those worried about the blower config.

 

Ive been waiting 2 years to upgrade my 290x and I must say the lack of choice in the past 2 years has been awful. I'll wait another month to see what AMD and NVidia have to offer this year.

Darn it AMD again with the delay in AIB designs. NVIDIA can make this work, why can’t you?

Gives the reviews some time to bake and for the new RTX pricing to normalize as well.

 

I think mid August will be the time to for those of us looking to upgrade to do so.

What? not at all, anyone looking into buy a video card on this price range that's already waiting now having to wait yet another full month for the aftermarket cards will only get frustrated and angry.

 

The way I see it AMD shot themselves on the foot even more with this 5700 series, by the time the non crappy blower cards hits the market we will have RTX Super Edition aftermarket cards all over the place, who do you think is going to get the best out of this as always? nVidia obviously.

I don't get it why they haven't repeated the RX580 launch. AIB cards straight from the beginning. Sure these were just spiced up RX480's but still.

That's a valid point.

 

However, it should push the vanilla RTX cards into the bargain bin.

 

I think a vanilla RTX 2060 for under $300 will give us great value.

 

You can already find the EVGA variants for $320 USD.

and prices will be ajusted on both sides, that wont make much of a difference, though i agree the lack of aib cards is stupid, in my view they should drop the reference cards all together

trying to get product to market asap? idk

 

or maybe they make more $ with Reference designs since they sell to consumer directly?

I was referring to any non SUPER card as vanilla.

 

[pzspah]

AMD would probably do a bit better if they kept things under wraps until things could hit the shelves, the way they did it with vega and now navi just let nvidia lean back and respond before AMD even got started. I want to buy AMD, they just keep shooting themselves in the foot.

Why specify?

 

We dont have any real card names to go on....

 

Also you specified EVGA later and as such i assumed you meant founders instead of vanilla, so that is on me.

Can't wait to see launch day reviews full with effing loud or/and hot rants.

It's pretty much guaranteed to not be loud but it'll probably run a bit hot.

What did i missed? I thought the reference card still use blower?

It is but AMD has put a limit on RPM by default so it'll max out at 1800. AMD says it translates to 43 dB which is significantly less than previous solutions.

[Doobeedoo]

Yeah custom cards will be fun to see, not at initial launch but worth the wait. That said still yet to see ow the reference one is. 

[RejZoR]

I find it odd that no one managed to optimize blower design in any way...

i'm guessing they're either running against the laws of physics or the law of patents ._.

 

It's probably something like a static pressure problem with the type of fans required for blower coolers. If you go longer or denser fins they might not be able to push the air through. Even the server GPUs that are passive large heat sinks that use the case airflow don't use all that high fin density.

I dig the minimalistic design and color though.

This time AMD has enough supply and big enough margins to compete though. I don't mean to outsell Nvidia (obviously not) but they can cut prices if they need to and also keep the channel stocked.

 

With Vega it was too expensive to produce, and the limited HBM 2.0 supply meant that they could not keep up with demand.

IF waiting an extra month is going to get you frustrated and angry then you may well have bigger worries than what graphics card you are going to get.
