Navi is confirmed for the launch of the third quarter of 2019, but AMD has not yet revealed the GPU. But, a lot of new information about the next AMD Navi GPU has been revealed, such as its release date, and there are two versions of it.
The information comes from the Product Manager of Sapphire Technology Leo and the Director of Public Relations, Jenny. They talked about the next AMD Navi GPU at AMD 50 Gathering in Chengdu, China.
According to Sapphire, there are two versions of AMD Navi GPU. One will be available for $ 499 while the other for $ 399. Obviously, both versions differ in performance and, reportedly, the $ 499 version easily exceeds the Nvidia RTX 2070.
Since Navi is often compared to RTX 2070 in leaks and rumors, many assume that the AMD Navi GPU will have support for Ray Tracing in real time.
According to Sapphire, players may have to wait until the next AMD GPU architecture, but it is not yet final.
In addition, the company confirmed the launch date of the AMD Navi GPU. According to Sapphire, Navi will be revealed on May 27 at Computex 2019 and will be released on July 7, 2019.
This coincides with the previous leak that the launch date of the Navi GPU is July 7 and the performance is somewhere between the RX Vega 56 and the Nvidia GTX 1080.
