It's now been several days since AMD launched its Radeon VII graphics card to retail, and while it's too early to conclude there are supply problems, the lack of availability so far runs counter to what AMD was saying prior to the launch.

The Radeon VII represents the first consumer graphics card with a 7-nanometer GPU inside, specifically Vega 20. It doesn't quite match Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2080 in most games that we tested, and that's before flipping the switch on real time ray-tracing and DLSS (in the few spots those features are available). However, it gives AMD a competitive gaming solution at the higher end (check out our review for benchmarks and a full analysis), and could find an audience among gamers who don't want an Nvidia card for whatever reason.
