AMD is confident there won't be availability issues with the RX 6000 series when it launches

[CTR640]

Yes, there won't be availability issues because AMD doesn't know how to driver

[RejZoR]

I don't have any issues with my Vega IGPU in Ryzen 5 2500U. My cousin has RX 580 and I don't recall him ever complaining about any issues. I wonder if it's exclusive to RDNA since it's so radical to their older stuff or not...

By making this claim people are just going to bot troll them more to ruin the launch, this was stupid thing to day.

It depends: if I had a weak product bound to receive mediocre reviews, that would turn my launch into an unexpected success...

AMD has lower priority for fabs and assembly than Nvidia / Intel.  They can't get higher volumes even if they wanted it, cause they can't afford it.  Money plays.  (I'd have to research it but I wouldn't be surprised if Intel gives TSMC more business from chipsets and random shit than AMD does)

 

So the only scenario where it's not a paper launch is if they gimped the shit out of any mining potential so no one wants the card.

Lol, this joke is dead, the drivers are fine now. My rx480 just really hates overclocking. But for a normal consumer, the drivers are fine.

on 7nm they are now on top. and AMD is likely increasing the amount given a few companies got banned from using TSMC. they got lots of large deployments of Milain right after launch for a few super computers

If AMD can scale their Navi card to be 2x faster than a 5700XT in benchmarks,it would be close enough to a 3080

The thing is, AMD only said their new design was "50% faster per watt".  While that could mean higher performance gains, it could also just mean lower power draw.  We'll have to wait and see what the end result it.  I'm rooting for them, but I prefer to keep my expectations reserved for now.

Yep currently AMD is one of their biggest customers, I was looking at the break down a few months ago and I really wasn't expecting them to be such a large share of production.

I'm having trouble justifying an RTX-3080ti in my head. If the 3090 is already pulling large amounts of power, I can't see AIBs or Nvidia wanting EVEN more power hungry cards in a higher clocked 3080ti. If we're looking at performance, there's quite a small gap for a potential RTX-3080ti to fit in between the 3080 and 3090 if you want gaming performance to slot in between the two and the VRAM picture doesn't look that good either. Theres going to be a 20gb 3080 sometime so I find it hard for Nvidia to justify a 3080ti between 20 and 24gb of vram (both are plenty). If Nvidia does release it, I feel like it'll be another case of extreme segmentation within their product line which tbh, I don't really see a large market for. 

Yea the power thing is a problem but there are a couple of possibilities. The first being those rumors of Nvidia moving back to TSMC when they can get fab allocation and do a refresh, but this also assumes moving to a TSMC node will improve power and performance over what they have. The second being a Samsung node revision reducing power draw and the third being a Hybrid Water Block design only card, but I don't think that is very likely but such cards have existed from AIB but only as a very high end option and not as standard.

iirc a lot of FuryX cards are dead now because the AIO dried up and they can't be refilled. If Nvidia went this route I would hope they would at least make it possible to refill the loop. But then it's still a pain in the rear, and someone capable of refilling an AIO would probably choose to go with a traditional loop anyway.

I was more thinking the design where it's got a normal heatsink and fan but is also a water block and you need to integrate it with a custom loop, I forget who did that before. Was kinda cool because you could use it with and without water.

that was 1080ti or 980ti days now which one I can't find.

ASUS had such cards in Poseidon series. Basically air cooled, but it had ports fro water cooling loop to be hooked up directly.

But does it rly matter? I love amd and everything they do, but they’ll sell enough of their new bikes so it doesn’t matter if they don’t profit from this rdna2 launch

[RejZoR]

Technically, it is helping AMD a bit. But mostly from XBox side coz it essentially runs Windows and it's very similar. Not so much from PS5 side I think. And also optimizing things for AMD's execution units means games will run better on AMD cards. Unless porting involves total rewrite and optimization for NVIDIA more.
