Whoa. Navi to come next year?? Based on rumors, I assumed it would be delayed until 2019. If 2018 true (i.e. backed up by more substantiated rumor), I may just wait all year for a new GPU (I'm currently planning on a 12nm RX Vega next Spring). Navi has been rumored/speculated to be the "Threadripper" of GPUs -- potentially many many shaders at a good "bang per buck". We'll see,.
