A Sapphire product manager and PR director, speaking to the Chinese press spilled the beans on AMD's upcoming Radeon Navi graphics card lineup. It looks like with Navi, AMD is targeting the meat of the serious gamer market, at two specific price points, USD $399 with a "Pro" (cut-down) product, and $499 with an "XT" (fully-fledged) product. AMD has two NVIDIA products in its crosshairs, the GeForce RTX 2070, and the RTX 2060. In the interview, the Sapphire rep mentioned "stronger than 2070", when talking about performance numbers, which we assume is for the Navi XT variant - definitely promising. The $399 Navi "Pro" is probably being designed with a performance target somewhere between the RTX 2060 and RTX 2070, so you typically pay $50 more than you would for an RTX 2060, for noticeably higher performance. 
 
Many people have speculated that AMD will unveil Navi at its Computex keynote address on May 27. Sapphire confirmed that date, and also added that the launch will be on 7th of July, 2019. We'll soon see if this information is accurate with Computex 2019 coming soon.

    Navi won’t have specialised hardware on-board to accelerate raytracing, which means that Nvidia will continue to have an advantage on that front. However, rumour has it that AMD is working on another GPU architecture for 2020, which will have raytracing-specific hardware.

    $500 for around 2070 comparable results just won't cut it for Navi.   I think Nvidia can easily drop the 2070 line to at or below that to match ... 
     
    We better hope Navi does better than 2070  or comes in less $  , to make some kind of competition .

    It will matter at E3 when we see the next generation consoles. We know that Sony has already said they will support ray tracing and it's likely we would see it from Microsoft since it's part of DirectX supported features. If the show confirms that Microsoft will have it then it will clearly become the future of gaming and it's hard for me to want to invest $500 in a card that doesn't support where the industry is heading over the next year and a half.
