Information onAMD Navigraphics cardskeeps leaking out, and this time the specs for theAMDRX 3080 have been spotted online ahead ofComputex 2019.
This leak comes via renowned leaker KOMACHI, and while thetweet was deleted, it was spotted byWccftech. Despite the remarkably similar name, it doesn’t look like the AMD Navi RX 3080 will go up against something like theNvidia GeForce RTX 2080.
Instead, with its rumored 2,560 stream processors and 8GB of VRAM on a 256-bit bus, it looks like it will take onRTX 2070instead – something that recent leaks back up. We’ve heard for a while now that the first round of AMD Navi graphics cards – known simply as ‘Navi 10’ – would occupy the mid-range, rather than competing withNvidia’s flagshipRTX 2080 Ti.
It’s all coming together, now
Because Computex 2019 is right around the corner, there’s been a wave of speculation and leaks about AMD Navi, and it’s all starting to come together.
We already know that the next-generation mid-range graphics cards from Team Red are coming in Q3 2019, and it’s rumored thatNvidia is gearing up to compete.It hasn’t been confirmed to appear at Computex, but just a couple days ago we heard a rumor that these new GPUs would beon sale by July 7.
Add that to all theleaked benchmarks, and we’re pretty confident that at leastsomeof the rumors are true. And, if Nvidia’srecent ‘Super’ teaseis any indication, Team Green is getting ready for something big to drop.
It’s going to be interesting to see if these rumored new AMD Navi GPUs are going to be able to compete in the mid-range, as that’s where the realAMD vs Nvidiasmackdown typically occurs. The flagships of the world get the headlines, but the mid-range is where people usually spend their cash.

We just want to see if AMD can provide better value for the money at that $499 price tag with the Navi RX 3080 than Nvidia offers with the RTX 2070. But at least we don’t have to wait too much longer until Computex 2019 to learn fact from fiction.
