More news coming in on AMD’s upcoming high-end graphics card, the Radeon VII, with Chinese media reporting that AMD’s initial production run for the card is set to ship just 5,000 pieces worldwide.

It looks like RTX technology won’t make it to sub-$250 market segments as the GPUs aren’t fast enough to handle real-time raytracing, and it makes little economic sense for NVIDIA to add billions of additional transistors for RT cores and tensor cores. The company is hence carving out a sub-class of “Turing” GPUs under the TU11x ASIC series, which will power new GeForce GTX family SKUs, such as the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, and other GTX 1000-series SKUs.
