A few days ago the AMD RX 5500 graphics card, a 1080p gaming graphics card, was introduced. This new graphics card based on silicon Navi 14 is intended to replace the RX 5080 based on Polaris 20. The new AMD solution still has no official price but aims to be highly affordable. Now we have known that XFX will launch the RX 5500 THICC II graphics card. The XFX heatsink reminds of the grilles of US vehicles in the 60s and 70s. But this graphics card has a major cooling problem according to GamerNexus. This design seems to have been slightly modified and improved. The backside between the backplate and the frontplate has been modified and improved. The XFX RX 5500 THICC II is shown The graphics card has been filtered by Videocardz, who has obtained the stock images of it. The design is similar to that of the RX 5700 model, with a small modification. We see how this graphics card has an 8-pin PCIe connector. We see how this graphics card will carry two fans on this heatsink. The trim, as well as the fans, are black. Copper heatpipes are visible and the XFX logo on the center of the fans has a coppery touch. The backplate has a design that complements the front and, of course, is also black. AMD has endowed this silicon with 1 408 Stream Processors and a Boost frequency of 1 845MHz. We do not know if this graphics card will have overclocking, something possible since the AMD reference model only has a large central fan. We assume that in the next days or weeks we will see the full specifications as well as its price. -
AMD had some news to share yesterday regarding its enthusiast-grade Threadripper CPUs as well as the budget-focused Ryzen 3 at the other end of the spectrum. While we now know specs and pricing for their range topping CPUs, the company left out pricing details for Ryzen 3. If a recent leak is to be believed, however, the lineup is set to start at just $109 for the Ryzen 3 1200 and $129 for the 1300X. That’s incredibly good value considering that — at least on paper — the chips are in Core i5 territory in terms of compute performance. As a refresher, the lower end Ryzen 3 1200 features base and boost frequencies of 3.1GHz and 3.4GHz, while the 1300X features base and boost frequencies of 3.5GHz and 3.7GHz. They both pack four cores and four threads (no SMT support) and will fit into current AM4 motherboards. Moreover, unlike Intel’s counterparts, AMD’s entire lineup is overclockable, opening up the potential for even better value for budget builders — it remains to be seen how well they overclock, though. The leak came from a poster on reddit — first spotted by Wccftech and reported by Forbes — who claims to have obtained the information from a distributor in his country. We won’t have to wait much longer to see if the information check out as Ryzen 3 is slated to arrive on July 27. In the meantime look out for our Ryzen 3 preview next week. We'll tweak current Ryzen chips to match the specifications of the upcoming budget processors and simulate their performance so you can know what to expect ahead of release.

Manufacturers of custom graphics card models work to offer interesting solutions. There is a lot of offer and everyone is looking to offer something that differentiates them from the competition and invites the user to buy their product. XFX a few weeks ago introduced the RX 5700 XT THICC II. The company has taken another step and presented the XFX RX 5700 XT THICC III Ultra. This new graphics card differs from the previous model in that it has three fans. The THICC II as the name implies, has only two fans, while the THICC III has a third fan. The heatsink block in this graphic is also a bit thicker because the GPU has factory overclocking. XFX introduces the RX 5700 XT THICC III Ultra As with the THICC II, this model is completely without RGB and the aluminum fins cover is completely black. The backplate of this graphics card merges with the front bezel in an elegant way. The back has a rack that reminds us of the most classic American muscle cars. Regarding the characteristics of this graphics card, it will work at a frequency of 1 810MHz. The ‘Game’ mode will be in this case at 1 835MHz and the Boost mode has been taken to 2 025MHz. We talk about an important overclocking, hence the heatsink is bigger and the fan extra. The 8GB GDDR6 of this graphics card continue to operate at 14Gbps. These memories offer us a 256-bit memory interface and a bandwidth of 448GB / s. This THICC III Ultra model has a year of 2.7 PCIe slots (therefore 3 effective PCIe slots). The edge of the backplate and the front bezel has a silver border that is a pass. Two 90mm fans and a 100mm center fan have been integrated. This dissipation system has ZeroDB fan technology, so that the fans do not work if there is no temperature.

Graphics enthusiasts are salivating for news around AMD's pending Navi graphics cards, and new Credit: CompuBenchtest results from a mysterious AMD GPU listed in the CompuBenchdatabase have spurred a new round of speculation. Several media outlets have reported that the GPU is an AMD Navi engineering sample, but after closer inspection, it appears this sample likely isn't of the Navi variety. The new graphics card has poor compute results compared to Vega 64 and Vega 56, but its graphics performance isn't too far behind the Vega 64. It even beats the Vega 56 in some tests. As Navi is expected to be a low-end or mid-range GPU, on the surface, this seems like a good sign the GPU is indeed Navi. Eagle-eyed Redditors noticed that the Vega 56 fell far behind both the alleged Navi GPU and Vega 64 in CompuBench's ocean surface simulation benchmark. This ocean simulation benchmark, for example, is very memory bandwidth heavy; Vega 56 only has about 85 percent of the bandwidth of Vega 64, and not even half that of the Vega VII. The alleged Navi GPU's performance may come down to memory bandwidth and not graphical prowess, which is the first indication that this may not be a Navi GPU at all, but a Vega 20 GPU instead. The "66AF" GPU, thought to have been Navi, is actually registered under Linux AMD GPU drivers as "Vega 20," making the Navi conclusion even more suspect. Also, comparing this 66AF:F1 GPU to Radeon VII on CompuBench, nearly everything in the OpenGL information is identical. A notable difference is that Vega VII has an additional tag under "GL_EXTENSIONS" called "GL_AMD_gpu_shader_half_float2," which may be the tag that specifies Vega VII's reduced floating point performance compared to other Vega 20 GPUs, like the Radeon Instinct MI60. While it is hard to tell what exactly this GPU is, if Linux's driver IDs can be trusted, it doesn't appear to be Navi. Even if the GPU is from the Navi lineup, it's hard to glean useful performance data and GPU specifications due to the nature of the CompuBench benchmark. For now, it appears more likely this is just another Vega 20 GPU, perhaps even a new WX Pro series model. Article created by „tomshardware”.
