Factory overclocked AMD Navi GPUs will launch over a month after reference cards
AMD has officially announced the existence of its AMD Navi graphics cards over at Computex in Taipei, and we won’t have to wait all that long to get our hands on these next-gen GPUs with a launch date set for sometime in July - with overclocked cards following shortly after.
And it looks like AMD will be sticking to its usual MO and controlling the launch for its upcoming 5000-series GPUs at first. The company did the same with Vega, after all. A Sapphire rep told us at the tech show that the company will be releasing its own factory overclocked graphics cards roughly eight weeks after AMD’s official launch.
But at least there's a whole heap of cards on the way it seems. A stark comparison to the RX Vega launch, which didn’t see any third-party factory overclocked cards for a long while after launch and few at that. Sapphire has told us that it will be bringing back its Toxic brand card, the uber-spec, high-performance SKU in its lineup that has been left by the wayside this last generation.
