The price cuts of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 series were a well-calculated move. (Source: Anandtech)

AMD pulled off a 'double jebait' to trick NVIDIA into reducing prices of the RTX Super GPUs

AMD's VP of Radeon Scott Herkelman recently revealed in an interview that the company keenly observed NVIDIA's launch of the RTX 20 Super series and revised the pricing of the new RX 5700 series GPUs to undercut NVIDIA's RTX 2060 and 2070 Super GPUs. The initial pricing of the RX 5700 series was deliberately kept higher to trick NVIDIA into reducing its launch prices.

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Review: Known issues of the reference design

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Review: Known issues of the reference design

Navi vs. Turing. The 7-nm Navi 10 chip is more energy-efficient than Polaris and Vega chips. However, the cooling solution of the Radeon RX 5700 XT fails to impress in our review. The GPU performs as expected and is well-suited for 1440p gaming. In this review, we examine how the RX 5700 XT stacks up against Nvidia’s Turing-based GPUs.

AMD Radeon RX 5700 review: With 7 nm to success?

Competitive thanks to Navi! That AMD has 7-nm graphics cards on the market is no big secret since the Radeon VII was the pioneer in the matter of 7 nm with AMD. With the Navi graphics cards, AMD is also now bringing the small manufacturing process to the upper mid-range of desktop graphics cards. But it's not only the structural width that's received a makeover because the GPU itself is based on a new architecture called RDNA. You can find out how well the AMD Radeon RX 5700 performed in our review.
