There's been a lot of talk lately about AMD's Big Navi graphics cards . This graphics card is reportedly aimed at the high-end market and is expected to compete with NVIDIA's high-end RTX Turing cards. The company has emphasized its goal of competing at 4K resolutions. Mithun Chandrasekhar, Head of Product Management for AMD Radeon, spoke with PCGamesN about this upcoming graphics card.
As highlighted by Chandrasekhar, this graphic would be "similar to Ryzen". It does not mean that it is a solution based on several DIE or similar, it speaks of performance / price. AMD Ryzen processors offer an excellent quality / price ratio and AMD wants to replicate it in graphics. It should be noted that this year NVIDIA will launch the Ampere graphics.

For AMD to launch an RDNA graphics card that rivals NVIDIA's high-end graphics card, this is undoubtedly great news. We have seen how the RX 5600 has caused AMD to downgrade the RTX 2060 Founders Edition. The counterweight that AMD exerts in the market is the regulation of prices and making the graphics somewhat more affordable.
With the Radeon RX 5000 series we are essentially covering 90 and slightly more of all PC gamers today.
And that's why there is no 4K right now, because the vast majority of them are playing at 2K / 1440p and Full HD / 1080p resolutions.
That doesn't mean a 4K-capable GPU isn't coming, it's coming, but here and now we want to focus on the vast majority of gamers.
All of us need a thriving Radeon GPU ecosystem. So are we going to go after 4K, and are we going to alter the 4K market in a similar way? Absolutely, you can count on that. But that's all I can say right now.
