A new report for Big Navi is teasing some truly big performance, with YouTuber Moores Law Is Dead stating that AMDs flagship RDNA 2-based graphics card will be 40-50% faster than NVIDIAs existing flagship GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card.
Big Navi being 40-50% faster than the RTX 2080 Ti is a huge, huge offer.
The spotlight has actually been on NVIDIAs next-gen Ampere GPU architecture and the approaching GeForce RTX 3000 series graphics cards for a while now … so its now time for AMDs next-gen RDNA 2 architecture to enjoy that light.

Big Navi being this fast methods AMD has actually captured up to NVIDIA in a huge, big freaking method. It also means that the previous leaks of NVIDIAs approaching GeForce RTX 3060 being about as quick as the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti that a lot more real.
Itll be the most significant shake up in the GPU industry in practically forever if Big Navi is undoubtedly this quickly.
Lisa Su and the re-focused team at AMD and Radeon are prepared to take this fight right to NVIDIAs door it seems, however do not believe NVIDIA is going to take this resting.
But its likewise not the very first time weve heard that Big Navi would be twice as quick as the Navi 10-powered Radeon RX 5700 XT. In those rumors, we became aware of 80 calculate systems, 5120 stream processors, and 17.5 TFLOPs of calculate efficiency.
The leakage says that AMD will be utilizing 72 SMs with “two clusters of 36 CUs in each”, with an unidentified quantity of GDDR6 on a 384-bit memory bus. The GPU has a game clock of 2.05 GHz and boost clock of 2.15 GHz in its existing form.
Whatever NVIDIA has cooking with Ampere is going to be huge, but from what Im seeing were going to see a big shock at the sub $600 variety. If I can buy a next-gen PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X console with a 16-thread AMD processor, RDNA 2-based GPU, and super-fast GDDR6 for less than $600– a graphics card on its own for $600 much better be freaking excellent.
This implies the present flagship GeForce RTX 2080 Ti– which released beginning at $999, will be dethroned by cards that are sold for half as much.
If youve got a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, then its worth is going to decrease quite rapidly if these new rumors hold true (and I actually think were getting really near to what were going to see) then were in for a wild trip at sub $600 graphics cards.
What about above $600 and as much as the $1000-$ 1200 mark where the existing RTX 2080 Ti falls now? Well, perhaps thats what all the fuss about the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, GeForce RTX 3090, GeForce RTX 3090 ULTRA or whatever-the-hell it ends up getting called is what NVIDIA has waiting in the wings.
Perhaps well see a restricted launch of some of the finest cards weve ever seen, while NVIDIA prepares an even higher-end GeForce RTX 3000 series card with the return of the ULTRA moniker– something Im trying to develop into a thing. Send me your favorable vibes, peeps.
Moores Law Is Deads new video also suggests that AMD naming Navi 2X and Navi 3X was no mistake, as Lisa is promoting a 2X upgrade in performance over the Navi 10-based Radeon RX 5700 XT. Navi 3X indicates well be seeing 3X the efficiency of Navi 10 which would be rather teh lofty goal for AMD.
If you look at how theyve been going from stride to stride with Zen and their phenomenally successful (game-changing and Intel crushing) Ryzen 3000 series processors … then picture that type of success and pin down of whatever Radeon, with the next-gen RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 architectures.
Seriously, Im nerding out at how excellent the next few years are going to be for the graphics card market. Literally the most amazing time in graphics card history is right in front of us.
