Look again I said 7900xt
The 7900XTX starts at £890, the cheapest 4080 is £1100, that make the 4080 24% more expensive.
Which is 19% cheaper, funny how statistics work. Anyway you can find a slightly cheaper 4080 and you don't have to search hard which brings it down to 18% cheaper.
I agree the 7900XT is really a 7800XT but i don't see why it should be cheaper than its name sake replacement.

What 80% more?
AMD can't offer equivalentperformance/experience as Nvidia. Is that simple. Eg: They can't even run RT in Ratchet and Clank at launch...
If product A is £80 with product B £100 that does not make products B 20% more expensive, that's not how maths work, its as a percentage of product A given that's your starting point, +20% of product A is £16, that only brings it up to £96, the correct answer is 100 / 80 = 1.25, that's + 25%, to confirm add 25% to 80 and you get 100.

Weird that given actually it does.
£210 isn't aggressive enough when both are over priced in the first place, AMD followed suit and they decided to call it 7900xtx to make you feel like you getting something more when basically it's competing with the 4080

7900 XTX MSRP for the MBA card was $999, which was exactly the same as the 6900 XT before it.
What were were the 3080/4080 MSRPs again?
That was a bug which was fixed in the updated driver released on Monday. https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/the-amd-driver-thread.18643923/post-36554377

Right, it could "only" crash the driver, otherwise it was fine
Clearly not and with that we are back at the beginning of this, how much is enough?
You do realise that it costs AMD money to make this sale for whatever it ends up being, its not free, just checking.....
But it's competing with the 4080 ? For around £210 less ?
Gen on gen Nvidia increase the MSRP by near 70%, AMD keep theirs the same, but its AMD who are too expensive and need to reduce the price.
That's the bat #### crazy we are dealing with.

Go on give me the exact profit margins per card for both companies
The 4080 should really be no more than £800 though, personally I wouldn't buy one for a penny more than that and the same with a 7900XTX at £750.
AMD selling a 7900XTX for £900 is a better deal than a 4080 at £1100 but that does't make it a good deal, Nvidia and AMD can set whatever prices they want but it doesn't mean I'm going to buy them.
But it's replacing the 6900 XT, which was the same price and is 45-50% slower.
What about the 3080/4080?

If you want to be that pedantic about it isn't that your job? you're making the suggestion, its why i asked.
7900xtx competitor is the 4080 it's £210 more
Why isn't it much higher when 3080 to 4080 is such ridiculous hike
Don't get fooled by the naming scheme

Profit margins have been steadily growing for both companies. However one of two is also constantly losing marketshare.
