Big Navi is Coming Soon
There is a storm brewing in the computing world, and that is the next generation of computing performance. Graphical performance between high end computers and consoles have always been different. Architecture and other differences have meant manufacturers have had to tailor their releases over the years when working with consoles and PC’s separately. When it comes to graphical performance, one can be particularly impressed by how much can be churned out of smaller lower cost consoles. AMD are set to make some waves with the incoming storm with their Big Navi line of GPU’s that are due to land later this year.
I have been floating between NVIDIA and AMD over the years. Advanced Micro Devices have definitely won me over for the next few years with their CPUs and I am very intrigued to see just how much oomph this new line packs. RDNA 2 will be present in the new release and promises a 50% increase in performance over the previous RDNA cards. It’s worth highlighting that both next generation console gaming and PC graphics will feature common architecture. I expect performance and value to be exceptional in this upcoming release and it may also mean that developers will have a better time too.
There hasn’t been close competition for the high end RTX cards for a while and I feel that AMD have been gearing up for their upcoming market slugfest to give customers an alternative. With competition on the menu, we may expect further innovation or value offerings to gain market share. It’s an exciting time to be a PC enthusiast and I’ve put off building my next rig in anticipation for a new wave of releases. With common architecture between consoles and PC, developers may choose to follow suit with cross platform production. AMD stand to gain from both Microsoft and Sony’s latest consoles and I will be watching closely to see how general consensus of high end PC GPU choices shifts in the coming year.
Big Navi is coming and RDNA 2 is exciting for everyone that is keeping an eye out on the next jump on beastly computing power. I will be holding off an immediate purchase however, as new cards can be troublesome at times. Software support is very important and I have no doubt that a number of driver updates will be rolling in rapidly. Things normally settle after a short period and my excitement for these new cards to hit the market remains high.
