My country does not import any AMD Pro or Vega-based cards at all, with the cheapest 16GB NVidia option being the equivalent of ~2200$ (with a Radeon VII, or a used Vega Frontier on Amazon, including shipping from the US, being the equivalent of ~900$). Also, given the issues outlined here with GCN/CRDN, would they still be a recommendation for video editing, or does that suffer the same way as gaming (my sister does not game)?
If so, the next best option would be a 11GB GTX 1080 Ti for the equivalent of ~750$).

Radeon Pro VII: 26.0 Gflops/W, 3.42 Gflops/USD
Titan V (GV100): 27.6 Gflops/W, 2.30 Gflops/USD
Ryzen 9 3900X: 6.95 Gflops/W, 0.91 Gflops/USD (at launch, now it is cheaper, so better performance per dollar)
Tesla V100S : 32.8 Gflops/W, 0.82 Gflops/USD (pathetic performance per dollar)
Xeon W-2295 (AVX-512) 8.7 Gflops/W, 0.81 Gflops /USD
Threadripper 3990X: 10.6 Gflops/W, 0.65 Gflops/USD

Speaking of which, is that the only difference between this and the Radeon VII? Also... wasn't the Radeon VII basically just a binned workstation GPU? If so, does that mean this is a bin of a bin?
The most important differences are that this Pro version has almost a double speed for 64-bit floating-point computations and that it may use ECC error management for the memory.
The double speed is very significant, it brings the total performance and also the performance per watt at almost the same values as for the NVIDIA Titan V with Volta GV100.
However, that NVIDIA card is no longer available, it was much more expensive and it was reputed as unreliable.
The professional NVIDIA Volta card have only slightly better performance than this Radeon Pro, but their price is many times higher, making their performance per dollar much lower than for AMD Epyc or Intel Xeon.
Therefore, for 64-bit computations, it makes sense to use NVIDIA cards only if the price does not matter, but a low power consumption is essential.
On the other hand, this Radeon Pro Vega has the best performance per dollar of anything you can buy now and its performance per watt is much better than of anything that can be bought at a non-huge price.

My guess is that yield on Vega 20 is low enough that supplying Apple with the 64 CU chips eats up too much of the top binned chips, simply leaving too few for the rest of the market. But, guess what? Apple is charging like $1k more for Radeon Pro Vega II than the list price of this card, so for paying top dollar, Apple gets the top chips.
Originally posted by Qaridarium View Posti maybe can understand if you do not allow the 4096 on a radeon7 700€ desktop card. but limit your 1900 dollar VII / 7 PRO to 3840 shader cores is pure madness
Do you know what Nvidia charges for comparable Qudaro cards? Heck, do you know what they charge for the Titan V, which has 1/4 of its memory + bandwidth lopped off?
Some folks on here are just ready to scream "bloody murder" about the smallest things...

Originally posted by pipe13 View PostCPU's are considerably easier to program, and I might be better off investing in more CPU cores.
You could instead look at ThreadRipper 3990X, which is only about $4k, but then your memory bandwidth drops by another factor of 2.

Originally posted by wizard69 View PostKinda looks like a transitional product to eventually become CDNA. I'm actually surprised that they have included I/O ports.
So, the whole point of this card is to be a workstation graphics card. That's the product that was missing in their stack.
According to Michael's coverage of Arcturus, future GCN chips will lack graphics blocks, meaning this is probably the last AMD card you can buy that both has full fp64 and full 3D acceleration.
