Looks to sit between the RTX 2070 and the RTX 2080/GTX 1080 Ti. Closer to the 2080 than the 2070 though.Looking like 5-10% slower than the 2080 overall which is disappointing, I was expecting it to trade blows.
Newegg sapphire card is up.

It'll be interesting to see what happens after today. I think AMD was leading us to believe that they'd have stock to go around. Judging by the difficulties people are having ordering, that seems not to be the case.
We'll have to see if that's just a launch day thing or not.
Now who wants to buy a platinum V56 and a 64? both with EK blocks :-P
They will go in FS/FT as soon as I get shipping notification.
How much are you going to sell the 64 for?
Yes...I think pretty much everyone in this thread who got one other than myself is planning on ebaying them.AMD.com still has them. NE dribbled them out..Do you have any ideas how many of these are heading to Ebay as we speak?
On second thoughts, not really.Call me impressed.
Performance was what I expected, but it is all over the place. On average its slower than the RTX 2080/GTX 1080 Ti, but it has quite a few random outliers where it outperforms the 2080 and others where it is equal to a RTX 2070. I find that odd. The very loud fans under load is disappointing though.Already feeling like a disappointing launch:
* Same price as a RTX 2080, slower average perf vs. RTX 2080
* Loud AF according to multiple websites
* Massively unstable press drivers and crappy to no OC-ability so far

I wonder how long until they release one with less memory at a significant price cut.
lmaoIf the XFX Radeon VII actually goes up for sale for $599 on Newegg then I'll try to snag one for a second build.
EDIT: Price was changed to $699. RIP.
When did it go up for $599? I had the page auto refreshing every 5 seconds and I never saw it go up for that price.well.. newegg fucked up and the 599.99 came back in stock and was able to procure the xfx version at that price.... now I see its out of stock and back at 699.99... sucks now I have a saphhire version AND the one from AMD coming now.. I can't cancel either now.. lol..

Well, damn. Still not sure how it never showed up as live at that price on my end.
Kinda disappointing. I'd buy it if it were cheaper or if the gaming numbers weren't so erratic but I imagine it will sell out before a price drop or driver improvements happen. I guess I will wait for the RTX cards to drop in price or for high end Navi in 2020.... That sounds so far away though.

After completing all testing and photos, I reassembled my card and wondered if I could bring down Junction Temperature below the 110°C I've been seeing on the stock card. Changing the thermal paste didn't make much of a difference (barely 1-2°C better). My trick for such situations is increasing mounting pressure by adding little metal washers. Pictured above you see two of the washers: one to get a better look and a second one below one of the mounting screws, to indicate the location I placed it in. Of course you want to use a total of four washers — one for each screw.
With the washers installed, my Radeon VII Junction Temperature dropped by around 10°C to 100°C, which is a significant improvement.
