AMD's new Radeon flagship graphics card, the Radeon VII is a worthwhile if power-hungrier alternative to the GeForce RTX 2080 for 4K gaming, but it generally isn't as fast at 1080p or 1440p resolutions.

While the Radeon VII doesn’t feature any new fangled ray tracing or AI technology, AMD’s focus on power and vast amounts of video memory make it one of the best graphics cards for gaming.

On the one hand it's frustrating to wait so long for a GPU that delivers the same performance we've had access to with Nvidia GPUs for almost two years now. On the other hand, it's good to see AMD deliver a great GPU for 4K and 1440p gaming after such a long wait. Most people won't need or even fully use its 16GB of memory, but at least it's future proof, and the three-game bundle makes it a pretty great value. Just be sure to adjust that fan curve.
