AMD Radeon VII vs Nvidia RTX 2080 - Benchmarks & Comparisons

AMD’s new Radeon VII graphics card is finally here coming in at $699 USD, the same price you get an RTX 2080 from Nvidia, so let’s compare the two in a number of games at 4K, 1440p and 1080p to see what the differences in performance are.

Nice work mate, quality review as always 👍

Clean, straight to the point.That's what the tech videos need today. This is a perfect video!!!

I like how you highlighted the 1% lows over top of the averages frames. I think it's a somewhat more important measurement, and since your eye is drawn to that measurement first, you get a better overall view of the cards capabilities. Nice touch.
Excellent review Jarrod. (I did have to watch Steve² first though!)

Thank god for your review. I don’t have to watch all the other BS reviews.

Man, I was rooting so much for Radeon 7, I'm somewhat of an AMD fanboy and I wanted this to be the card that stomped the RTX series. 2080 is still the way to go for enthusiasts.

No frills no BS review. This is why your channel is one of my go to channels when it comes to reviews. Cheers from the Philippines!

So a bit slower, consump a bit more power, have the same price, both are shit at 4k so 16Gb is useless, they should have cut 4Gb to reduce the price by $80 to be more competitive, for gaming no way anyone would choose this over 2080

Man I really hope that you grow as much as you deserve. But try not to forget about us when you'll be big :)

Wow, you are the first one in my feed who got this brand new Radeon graphics card and have done a great, meaningful comparison. So nice!

[OWNORDISOWN]

Nice job Jarrod ! Along with Ray Tracing and the AI I think the 2080 certainly has the edge.

Quality, clean and straight to the point reviews, just wait till you collaborate with Linus

When people tell me to buy the Radeon VII instead of the RTX 2080 LUL

[redeyes]

Would have been better of they priced this at 599$. But that's just me :p

I hit the like button, watched the review, was not disappointed. Great well presented review as always.

Yours is the first R7 benchmark video I’m watching. Please get your 1080Ti vs R7 up ASAP! Thanks man

[sebs]

Great video again! When’s the Aero 15 arriving? 😉

[ScoryYT]

Can you benchmark the Ryzen 7 2700X pairing with the Rtx 2070? If possible.
I want to see how many frames will this combo give to games like Gta V, Fortnite, Battlefield V, PUBG and many more.

[Decat]

Thank you for your time and effort you put into making this video. Why do you have to use high settings compared to ultra?

Hi Jarrod, in a laptop rtx 2070, do we need 32 GB of RAM for playing the last gen. Big games like battlefield or assassin screed and others games like that or 16 GB is enough ? Juste 1 game at the time, no streaming, maybe youtube open in the same time for some music. And maybe photoshop and/or illustrator softwares when no gaming. What do you think please ? Thank you for your help 😍

I know this is an old review but I question whether it would make any difference with CPU change to AMD
