AMD RX 5700 Series Selling Like Hot Cakes, AIB Sales Up 100%+

"AMD's latest Radeon RX 5700 series are selling like hot cakes, latest AIB financial reports show. With TUL Corporation, an exclusive AMD add-in-board partner and owner of subsidiary PowerColor, growing its revenue by 103% in Q3 2019.

And while AMD is not scheduled to announce its quarterly financial results until the end of the month, TUL's enormous financial success - because it's an exclusive AMD AIB -- is a direct indicator of what we should expect to see in AMD's GPU sales numbers come Q3 earnings.


AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT & RX 5700 Lead Graphics Card Sales in Europe & Asia

TUL's financial boon is the direct result of AMD's latest Radeon RX 5700 series products which were introduced earlier in the summer. It took quite a while before custom cooled AIB versions of AMD's reference Radeon RX 5700 & Radeon RX 5700 XT designs came out. However, ever since they did they have been selling well across the globe.

They're doing especially well in Europe and Asia. Computerbase.de reports that the top 3 most popular graphics cards that readers were looking at on the site have all been Navi graphics cards, with PowerColor's custom Red Devil and Red Dragon cards doing particularly well.

Additionally, the latest Mindfactory.de data shows that the site sold over 8,000 AMD Radeon RX 5700 series graphics cards in recent weeks alone, the vast majority of which were custom AIB solutions. Custom AIB variants of the Radeon RX 5700 series have only been on the market for a short while, many in fact haven't been on the market for more than a couple of months. So what we're seeing with TUL's revenues doubling is only the tip of the iceberg.

With inventories of custom Radeon RX 5700 series graphics cards finally showing serious growth in the channel ahead of the holiday season, both AMD and its AIB partners clearly expect to a sell a whole lot of Navi GPUs in the holidays. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if AIBs managed to add another triple digit growth figure on top of their already doubled revenues."

-------------------------------
The Powercolor cards are probably the best AIB Navi cards out there, cool and quiet, triple fan design and a great performer........The last report we heard on AMD GPU sales were from older Polaris and Vega cards which people were buying out of stock, as those were reasonably priced recently.......,,,,As for the newer AMD GPU's, it's apparent that people were just waiting on AIB Navi's, because as soon as those custom cards started rolling in, sales of Navi GPU's soared.......It's just like I suggested, that AMD should release the RX 5500 and 5600 series before the holidays, even a wider gamut of their CPU lineup too ( Ryzen 3500. 3950 etc.....) and it looks like it's exactly what they're doing.........I wish AMD would also launch the RX 5800 series for the holidays too, though 5500 and 5600 would get the most sales, people do tend to have a knack of spending a bit more at the holidays, so a $700-800 5800XT won't be a bad call at all...


So before, we had this report.....
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-nvidia-gpu-market-share-report,40266.html

And now that Navi is selling like hotcakes even ahead of the holidays is really good news........It bodes well too, because rumors has it that the new adrenaline update for December is going to be huge, with potentially giving AMD GPU's major performance uplifts in many games, whilst unlocking raytracing support via DXR...…So it would be possible to play BFV, Metro etc with raytracing on with AMD GPU's......…Vega and RDNA1 GPU's should be a lock......

Good news - they deserve it.
They definitely do........ It bodes well too, because these gpu's will continue to sell like hotcakes for the holidays and next year and by the time consoles release the PC installbase will be ripe with AMD gaming systems......

AMD'S plan was brilliant if you ask me, they have been shipping gpu's and cpu's to devs since the first Ryzen, so devs should be pretty adept with such kit by now.......By November 2020, pretty much every dev will be using AMD cpu's and gpu's as a base, with many released titles by then too...

DX12 and Vulkan should be the other of the day in 2020 which AMD gpu's excel in, and finally perhaps we will begin to see even more widespread use of FP 16 and compute.....

Not surprised with Powercolor the Red Devil is a awesome card and imo the card to get if you want a XT. Although saying that the Sapphire dynamic resolution thingy they do is pretty hype.

For all the naysayers AMD put out a very solid mid range card.

One guess which graphics card was labeled the best of the year....


Best Overall and Best Enthusiast Card goes to the 5700XT and the 5700 respectively.....

Nvidia just clutched best budget card from AMD's 570+580, but that is soon to change in two weeks when AIB's launch their custom 5500 cards on the 12th of December...…..

I wish AMD would have launched the 5600 series to obliterate the mid range as well...…..Yet, they should make bank with the 5500 cards for the holidays nonetheless....

Got a Saphire Pulse 5700 XT for a damn fine price (340€) on Black Friday. Sold my 970 for 115€. All in all 225€ for the Upgrade is really absolutely stellar result for me.

Realistically, I don't think anyone said AMD was going to overtake NV in the GPU space overnight...….Yet, people said NAVi was dead in the water and had no chance in the market, because it didn't have raytracing...... and of course that was an outright lie and proved untrue. As a matter of fact, the 5700 AIB's are selling like hotcakes, but NV has a huge monopolistic percentage of the market which will take some time to overcome overall.....

AMD only has 5700 in the market right now on RDNA...….NV has a million cards on Turing covering all categories, of course they are going to sell more, but apart from the established marketshare, how much more did they really sell vs the sole 5700 series?

1650, 1650Super, 1660, 1660ti, 2060, 2060S, 2070, 2070S, 2080, 2080S, 2080Ti, Titan RTX on (TURING) vs 5700, 5700XT on (RDNA)…………...I wonder who will sell more cards overall when NV floods the market like that and AMD has not launched 5500, 5600, 5800, 5900 series yet...….Yet RDNA was good enough to get NV to launch a bunch of Super cards and re-introduce the RTX 2070 to their lineup, because they need a million cards to compete with two cards form AMD....

Seriously everyone that says 5700 xt is great is a idiot. I listened to people and they said Power color red dragon was one of the top. Mine gets to 83c in CoD MW in one game. And fans keep kicking up at a higher rpm where it sounds like a jet fighter in my game room. 83c is normal and AMD says 90c is perfectly fine for the card.

I put fans on a curve, undervolted, swapped okay case fans with top 4x NoC fans, nothing can keep this thing cool air wise.

I had a Vega 56 in a previous PC and that card crashed so bad and maybe the worst video card I ever bought. Before that a 580 which was fine. I am done with AMD GPU's.

Thanks to AMD sucking a 2070 super does not even go under $500 on black friday.

It is great. It's currently the best bang for buck GPU at $400 you can buy. It beats the $400 RTX 2060 Super in most benchmarks and is competitive with the 2070 Super in most benchmarks too.

The only argument that might be had is the black friday 2070s that could be had for $400.

Maybe you (or the ones who gave you advise) confused the Red Devil with the Red Dragon... Not that the Red Dragon is bad.

Mine gets to 83c in CoD MW in one game. And fans keep kicking up at a higher rpm where it sounds like a jet fighter in my game room. 83c is normal and AMD says 90c is perfectly fine for the card.

There are two cards that have great cooling. The Sapphire Nitro+ and the Powercolor Red Devil. Also, 83°C is not going to damage any card nowadays. But if you really have that much issues with cooling, you might have to look at your fan setup. More fans don't necessarily help if they are not installed in the right configuration.

I had a Vega 56 in a previous PC and that card crashed so bad and maybe the worst video card I ever bought.
Which Vega 56? There's a big difference between a reference one and a good AIB one... Let me guess... It was probably a Gigabyte Vega 56, wasn't it?

Before that a 580 which was fine. I am done with AMD GPU's.
Sure. Go nVidia. The day one of their drivers kills your graphics card, who will you turn to? Maybe it's a good idea to start doing your own research instead of going after what people are saying and getting the cheapest of the cheapest. And that "research" can be as little as a 20-30 minute on Gamers Nexus' YouTube channel. The 5700XT might be great, but I definitely wouldn't recommend anyone to go with the Asrock 5700XT Challenger for example... You can't judge AMD's GPUs solely on what budget AIB cards provide.

That has nothing to do with AMD sucking. It has everything to do with people being willing to pay more than what cards are really worth. And why would AMD bother lowering prices if everyone would take advantage of that to buy nVidia cards instead of theirs?
