  Re: display controller remaining a little ~2018
  
  Do you think the display controller might get an update for hdmi 2.1 / VRR for low end Navi later this year?
  
  Later release, so more time to introduce improvements, and more necessary for a part that will be attractive to the home theatre market...

  HDMI 2.1 hardware is still really expensive and power hungry. Given the dearth of HDMI 2.1 displays and the fact that these cards wouldn't even do 30 fps at 8K I don't see the lack fo HDMI 2.1 being a big deal. DP 1.4 is far more useful for these mid range cards.

  Sure, but it would be nice to get the bandwidth necessary to do:
  4:4:4 chroma / 10bit colour / /HDR / 4k at 60Hz.
  
  Or even use VRR to let the framerate roll between 40 and 80 fps.
  
  hdmi 2.1 will be normal on midrange 4k (+fald) TV's next year, shame for small Navi to miss the marketing boat.

  If AMD is going back to suffixes, it should have at least gone for something more interesting like a palindrome. RX 5775 XR would have been quite cool.

  You're more creative than they are.

  That GPU looks like someone took it to the gym in a gym bag, and accidentally dropped a 45 LB plate on it...; the dented look is horrible, IMO... Fire the entire aesthetics team!

  Ryan, can I request you to include UW(3440.1440, 3840.1600) resolutions in the review of GPUs, starting with Navi reviews??

  Well, I was letdown by a lot of this, given the pricing. I suspect after launch though we'll see a pricing way between AMD and Nvidia like the days of old, and these may wind up at a better price.

  Unfortunately, I think nvidia has the better graphics offerings by a wide margin and got there first.
