AMD’s highly anticipated CES 2019 conference delivered the reveal of the new Radeon VII GPU. The first 7nm gaming GPU comes with 60 Compute Units, 3840 Stream Processors, 128 Raster Operators, 240 Texture Mapping Units, 16GB of HBM2 memory, a max clock speed of 1800 MHz and a theoretical output of 13.8 teraflops.

According to the slides shared by AMD, the Radeon VII can go toe to toe with NVIDIA’s RTX 2080 GPU (currently priced $100 higher) in games like DICE’s Battlefield V and Ubisoft’s Far Cry 5. In Strange Brigade, using the Vulkan API, the upcoming AMD GPU apparently has a significant advantage of 14 frames per second at 4K resolution and max settings, though it should be noted that Strange Brigade has been specifically optimized for AMD hardware as part of a larger partnership with developer Rebellion.
