Newegg has listed and sold all of their Radeon 7 cards. You missed it.Just got my order confirmation from AMD. Interesting that Newegg hasn't really put ordering out there yet. I've been stalking their page as well.

Had the same issue. I was auto-refreshing the XFX Radeon VII for $599 and never saw it come into stock at that price. But another forum member was able to snag one at that price. Guess it was just the luck of the draw.I saw them listbut never change from notify, except for the ASRock and Sapphrie card which I clicked immediately add to cart and it told me the product was removed from the cart. This is 3 seconds after it went live. I feel like I didn't miss something or a bunch of bots insta-bought things.

Yeah I had all ATI cards and then 2x 6950s but when it came time to upgrade only a used 980ti really fit with what I wanted. I've been waiting through the 1000 series and now the 2000 series for a 980ti replacement and so far have not seen one from AMD so I may just accept my fate and drop the money on a 2080 or 2080ti.I want to be an amd guy. I really do. but ive had my 1080ti for 2 years and this is the first card to compete, but its 2 years later and the same price and performance as my 2 year old card. I really dont understand. I guess I want to be an ATI guy. But that ship sailed.
Reviews are flowing. TPU pretty much gave it a T-PU review. Was pretty brutal on the numbers. Did not get any award from them at all.
Well, it is worse than an RTX 2080 by pretty much every possible measure, and for the same price and ~4.5 months later. That's pretty fail in my book.

It's also worse than a 1080 ti by most measures... 2 years later. It's a big, fat fail.
I upgrade nearly every generation. But neither the Radeon VII nor the RTX cards have been a worthy upgrade for my 1080 Ti.Yup, very content to be sticking with my 1080 Ti for now.
Please report back if that PowerColor card is shipped in cardboard box only with no foam, just folded cardboard packaging around the card. That's how powercolor shipped my reference Vega56. Talk about no frills packaging! Quite literally - no foam, and very little protection.Just nailed a PowerColor on Newegg
I think the 1080TI might go down as one of the best graphics cards of all time. It was a big jump, and held the crown for a long time, and even when supplanted by the 2080TI performance, its usefulness was not lost, or blown away, as the software/game engines haven't caught up yet.
I can play every game out today on max settings at 3440x1440 @ >60 FPS which is a much stiffer requirement than the most common 1080p or 1440p resolutions. The 1080ti is a card that was actually ahead of the software technology. I can't remember a graphics card through history that was so ahead of the software/game engine curve, and two years later there isn't even a dent in it's gaming capability. The idea that this Radeon VII is near 1080TI performance levels is nice for sure - and the same sufficiency observations apply -- but some of us have been at this level already for 1.5 or 2 years - for the same price of entry - as harmattan stated.
I would agree as well, but NDA. Wouldn't want a poor review to ruin the out of stock first day sales, while I like AMD more than nVidia, and I think you should let your numbers do your selling, it's still smart business sense to not allow numbers until the day of launch to get those "hype" sales.
It is funny people complain about the price of a 1080ti when released all those years later. It still comparable out AMD's best current gen hardware that is now $700. The 1080ti was a hell of a value if you bought it around launch.I think the 1080TI might go down as one of the best graphics cards of all time.

1080ti is a boss.
It's also nearly identical performance to the Nvidia 2080 and similar pricing (2 years after launch of 1080ti).
Got to love the GPU stagnation we are seeing (thanks to AMD focusing more on CPU than GPU)
Agree, and based on the larger size of the server cpu market vs GPU market I believe Lisa Su made the right decision.If they would have focused on GPU over CPU we'd be in the same situation, just with Intel instead of nVidia....
I don't think so. AMD is a smaller company then either Nvidia and Intel. AMD just don't have R&D funding as them. Intel fucked up and got complacent and milked it. Nvidia is now doing the same and giving AMD a chance to catch up. AMD needs to blow up the GPU divisions and built a new GPU from the ground up like they did with Ryzen.Agree, and based on the larger size of the server cpu market vs GPU market I believe Lisa Su made the right decision.
If the GPU total market is 4 Billion in revenue per year, the CPU total market is probably 40 Billion (10X).I don't think so. AMD is a smaller company then either Nvidia and Intel.

Make maximum use of dies that don't bine as high for MI50 datacenter cards for increased yield on this young process.. HBM is inserted later on the package.So what is the point to this new AMD card really?
Seems its doing ok to meMoral of the story is:
GCN needs to be put out to pasture.
In retrospect it's absolutely surprising that AMD has managed to make it last this long, but regardless of how noble GCN has fought, it's not today's architecture, it's yesterday's.
Brute forcing its way with higher power consumption and equal to 2080 performance.Seems its doing ok to me
