In 3DMark Fire Strike the results were impressive for both cards, but noticeably more so for the Radeon VII. AMD’s new card was expected to perform better against Nvidia’s GPUs at higher resolutions, but in the base Fire Strike test it not only beat out the RTX 2080, but performed comparatively well to the RTX 2080 Ti, a much more expensive GPU. In gaming benchmarks we saw similar results at 1080P, with the Radeon VII delivering frame rates in Battlefield V at both medium and Ultra settings well above 100 FPS, beating out not only the RTX 2080 but the 2080 Ti as well. The always-taxing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided proved more challenging, but the Radeon VII still pulled ahead of the 2080 and 2080 Ti with an average FPS of 90 when on High, and 86 on Ultra settings.
 
At 1440p, the 2080 Ti takes its rightful place at the head of the pack, but Radeon VII takes an even greater lead over the 2080 and makes its predecessor, the Vega 64, look very much like the last-generation card it is.
 
When we increase resolutions to 4K, all of the cards struggle to maintain 60+ FPS in Battlefield V. Only the 2080 Ti manages it in Deus: Ex at Medium settings, but the Radeon VII remains out in front of the 2080 in all cases.
 
Although AMD does have functioning ray tracing in the form of Radeon Rays using the Vulkan API, that’s not a technology that is implemented in any games at this time, and AMD hasn’t made it viable with the Radeon VII. Nor is DLSS available, although AMD has suggested that its cards’ general compute units are capable of something similar. Furthermore, it may even implement it in the future using Microsoft’s open standard, DirectML.
 
The Radeon VII isn’t quite strong enough to be a direct competitor for the likes of the RTX 2080 Ti, especially at higher resolutions, but it’s not far off that. At a $700 asking price it’s costed competitively enough with the RTX 2080 that Nvidia may need to raise its game in turn to stay ahead.

All I can say is look at multiple reviews to get the full picture. The card is a disappointment again to amd fans.

After the demise of my GTX 1060 I am now bidding on Radeon cards.
 
Bit of offer counter offer with me at $75 vs $93 so I am wondering if I will get a bite for a RX 570 4GB
 
 

I'm still waiting for mature drivers for the 2080Ti..no, I don't think they're there yet.
 
At any rate...as I've said before, I like the competition, but I'll always buy Nvidia...always.
 

I'm interested to see what Navi will have to offer if the VII is close to 2080 performance.

I read about 10 reviews and it seems to be sitting right about what you would expect for $699 .  
 Cheaper in price & performance to it's competitor brother the 2080 , which costs $100+ more .
 
Disappointing for some people who wanted a miracle & more competition to drive Nvidia card prices down even more ... but I wouldn't say a fail .

EVGA has two different RTX 2080 cards on their site for the same price right now with free shipping.

I myself would choose the 2080 Black card over the Radeon Vii - but I hope continued competition drives pricing back to less than insane levels on the next series of cards... 

Test here are only done at 1440p and again Battlefield V was not ran in DX12 mode with no explanation why, but he did address the power usage.
 
 

JayzTwoCents review...
 

Bitwit seemed to have a better experience or he just wanted to be more kind to AMD even though the RTX 2080 was still the better gaming card.
 

Saw that it might be a great compute card with as much as 50% better performance than the 2080 depending on the task.  I feel like they should have gone with GDDR6 so that they could offer it a couple hundred less than the 2080.

looks like a solid beta release can't wait to see the final product

Well it's a step in the right direction for AMD for sure. Having not owned a Radeon card for an extremely long time, I can't judge driver development, but I'd assume to expect some driver optimization that could really make this card more compelling in the coming months. At least we know it does indeed keep up with RTX 2080 performance, and if history of AMD these past few years has taught us anything, they aren't afraid to drop prices significantly to push product sales. 

I'm going to keep my 1080 Ti/s can't believe it I've never been 2 years behind the times. This has put a kink in my rinse and repeat process too. ;)

I'd like to also point out that without a competitor NVIDIA can just keep hiking video card prices as high as they want to. 
 
Next week I'll be getting a Radeon 7 to play around with and I'll let all of you know what I think of it.

Every other reviewer had no issues but him. He probably botched the PC setup. 

Clearly you didn't watch JayzTwoCents review.
