AMD Navi release date, specs, rumours, and performance

The upcoming AMD Navi graphics cards are going to have to work some to challenge the latest Nvidia Turing cards, but the next-gen Radeon GPUs are most likely specced out to dominate the mid-range market rather than try and go toe-to-toe at the high end. Whatever the specs, we do at least know that they're going to be hitting the shelves sometime in 2019.

Our sources in the industry have suggest that it’s not too far-fetched to think that the red team will manage to get its long-awaited graphics architecture onto the shelves in time for an early 2019 launch. But with an RX 590 now on the cards, this launch might be later in the year that we'd initially hoped.

Why should you wait for the next Radeon GPU? The new AMD Navi GPU architecture will most likely be the direct successor to the current mid-range Polaris 500-series graphics cards, and not the more recent, more high-end RX Vega architecture. That seems to have become even more likely with Nvidia releasing its top-spec RTX 2080 Ti cards this year without waiting to see what AMD can do in response to the brand new Nvidia Turing cards.
