Verdict
Our verdict on the VII
AMD's Radeon VII is a 7nm GCN relic that crams 16GB of HBM2 memory into a hot, power-hungry package.
Get it if you need loads of fast video memory for creative work and don't mind a hot, power-hungry card. Skip it if you're gaming—newer, cheaper cards beat it easily and run cooler.
Buy it if…
- Buy it if you need lots of VRAM for creative work.
- Buy it if you collect rare, high-end older hardware.
- Buy it if you're building a period-correct 2019 high-end rig.
