Amd prepares a graphics card rx 680 based on navi 10

According to reliable sources from the Tweaktown site, the Radeon RX 680 graphics card will be powered by the new Navi GPU and will feature 8GB of GDDR6 memory, with performance that would fall between a GTX 1080 and GTX 1080 Ti.

We know that the next step for AMD and its Radeon graphics cards is going to be the launch of the Navi- based GPUs, which would arrive next year. Rumors are starting to come out about the RX 680, which should be priced in the range of $ 299-399, in a fierce fight that starred against the GTX 1080 Ti, especially with faster GDDR6 memory. The RX 680 card would use the Navi 10 chip.

After the launch of Navi (and derivatives) AMD would counterattack with Navi 20 at 7nm as a high-end GPU in the periods 2020-2021, but in the meantime it would have to settle for struggling with a really good mid-range graphics card that ranks below $ 400 (or well below) to be able to hurt Nvidia, which should already have Turing graphics cards at the time.

Navi 10 at 7nm would allow AMD to get closer to the Nvidia variants but with lower costs thanks to the use of GDDR6 memory instead of HBM2. On the Nvidia side, GTX 11 is already on the horizon and possible names are already heard, GTX 1160 or GTX 1165, and with graphics cards that will lead the performance, GTX 1185 or GTX 1190, two names that are handled according to sources.

The picture seems complex for AMD in the graphics card sector, quite the contrary with the CPU market, where they fight on equal terms with Intel.
