The 16GB of ultra-fast HBM2 are an advantage when compared to Nvidia, and that’s one asset AMD will want to explore now that, with Nvidia’s introduction of FreeSync support in their graphics cards, AMD has lost one advantage: it’s own FreeSync. Yes, gamers will want this card, to run 4K and 1440p games, but content creators will also want it to edit 4K video and create VR and other type of content. Nvidia went for tensor cores and ray tracing, features that may be used by content creators in the future, but AMD decided to go in another direction: its new card does not introduce ray tracing, but it does have one unique feature it’s the first 7nm GPU, and its other specifications make the Radeon VII an appealing solution for content creators. The new AMD Radeon VII is now available, for a price of $699, similar to the Nvidia RTX 2080 with which it will compete. According to the first tests published, the Radeon VII is not the fastest card available, but 16GB of ultra-fast HBM2 memory make it an interesting solution for content creation and video editing, VR and more.
