Radeon VII has comparable memory bandwidth to an RTX 3090 (or V100) and 7x the double precision performance of RTX 3090 for a quarter the cost. It has almost double the memory bandwidth of RX 6800 and 3x the double precision performance at half the price. It would be a compelling card today if it hadn't been EOL'd almost two years ago.
- dragontamer 5y agoRadeon VII isn't really EOL'd. Its now called Radeon VII Pro and worth $2000. Or (EDIT: MI50: the MI25 is Vega64 IIRC). As long as AMD is selling those cards out at the higher price, there's no reason for the $700 price point to come back...
- my123 5y agoIt was a stopgap product that wasn't really profitable to reduce the gaming performance gap between NV and AMD. Its marketing wasn't that much targeted towards compute either. And as soon as they had cards with better gaming perf out, it outlived its usefulness in the AMD product matrix. Nvidia has the Titan V as a prosumer card with HBM2, 1/2 FP64 and all for $3k, but that seems to be out of stock nowadays too...
- jedbrown 5y agoAgreed that it was EOL'd because it was priced too low, though the Pro also lifted the double precision throttle (3.5 TF to 6.5 TF) and added Infinity Fabric.
