AMD Radeon VII, the first 7 nm video card, officially available for sale

[Angrry.exe™]

AMD has announced the availability of the first 7-nm gaming video card, packed with the Raise The Game Fully Loaded with three cumulative PC games of $ 180. Successor of the Radeon RX Vega 64 series, the new Radeon VII more than doubles the bandwidth of video memory and substantially increases the processing power.

With code name VEGA20, the new 7nm GPU comes with increased operating frequencies and is helped with 16GB of HBM2 memory. Following the example given by Nvidia rival, AMD gave up the reference design of the Radeon VII accelerators to the turbine fan cooler, instead opting for a conventional three-fan solution that is more efficient in dissipating the heat.

By focusing on maximizing performance, AMD engineers have decided to keep a "budget" of about 300W for power consumption previously set for the Radeon Vega 64 series. Thus, the improved manufacturing process makes it possible to achieve operating frequencies of 1750-1800 MHz in boost mode, resulting in performance gains of up to 35% in Battlefield V and 42% in the Strange Brigade, compared to Radeon Vega 64.

Unfortunately, the power of up to 300W consumed during gaming sessions translates into an increased noise input from the cooling system.

Also recommended for PC gaming enthusiasts and professionals who want to take advantage of GPU Compute capabilities, the AMD Radeon VII series of accelerators is available for purchase at AMD's $ 699 website. Players who purchase a Radeon VII video card or Radeon VII system will receive the PC version of Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry 5 and The Division 2, for free.
