![]() AMD claims this not only makes the card more future proof but also allows it to be more effective in GPU compute scenarios since it can handle larger data sets. Indeed, the fat 16GB memory buffer is easily the Radeon VII's biggest selling point, as it's really the only thing not offered by its competition at this time (software and other sundries excluded). Double the memory, higher clock speeds is the sales pitch this time around. ![]() As you can see in the chart AMD pulled no punches with this GPU, stacking an outlandish 16GB of High Bandwidth Memory right onto the PCB next to the die, and clocking the GPU ten percent higher than the previous Vega GPU. Let's take a look at the spec chart to see how they stack up. AMD is claiming performance similar to Nvidia's RTX 2080 GPU, but for less money, with the added benefit of it being more future proof and better for rendering and video editing thanks to its 16GB of HBM memory. In addition to the die shrink from 14nm FinFET in the previous generation down to 7nm for this GPU, the company says it's added a ton of optimizations to boost clock speeds, reduce latency, and increase memory bandwidth along with a host of optimizations for workstation tasks. How does it stack up against the best graphics cards on the market? Let's take a look.ĪMD Radeon VII – Design and FeaturesThe Radeon VII is a lot like the previous Vega GPUs in that it's a GCN card that uses what AMD calls its "second generation Vega" architecture. I'm not sure if the game bundle is just for the AMD branded card or if it applies to partner cards, so be sure to check that before you pull the trigger. AMD is sweetening the deal even further by offering three AAA games: Resident Evil 2, The Division 2, and Devil May Cry 5, which are effectively worth $180. At $699 it's looking to cut the RTX 2080's legs off, and promises to excel at both 4K gaming as well as GPU compute tasks thanks to its massive 16GB of memory. It's the successor to the Radeon Vega GPUs from 2017 with twice as much High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and a die shrink all the way down to 7nm, making it the world's first GPU manufactured on this node. ![]() AMD has finally responded to Nvidia's Turing architecture launch by throwing down a 7nm gauntlet named the Radeon VII.
