I've usually had sapphire pulse versions but tempted by a higher wattage version when I jump in. Not to keen on the nitro at the minute, especially with that connector even thought it should be safe.
I don't have an interest in upgrading. Never have as the performance was never going to be there to interest me hence why i mentioned my card still doing the business.
It looks like the Powercolor Reaper is 4999 Yuan, so expected to be around $599.
Because it's the 7800xt replacement... The 7900xt was to compete with the 4080, and the 7900xtx was meant to compete with the 4090. AMD have stated multiple times they're not doing high end gpu's this time, so that rules out the 7900xt and 7900xtx replacement... In their launch event they even showed slide saying 85% of gamers purchased a card under $700, so that's their target audience this time round...they're trying to increase mkt share, and that's not by going high end. hopefully frees up production for more 9700xt's. Even though they've had time to build up inventory and are meant to be producing more compared to last gen, it may not be enough...Remember most buyer skip a generation before buying a new card, so they'll be coming from the 6000 series amd or 3000 series nvidia. This was also lockdown when demand went through the roof (not lack of supply..they actually increase supply at time, it was just demand was more than double)..that and the paper launch of nvidia means that not only are the catering for their own AMD upgraders, they may have to cater for a lot of nvidia buyers also, as they have nothing worthwile in this price bracket at the moment...now seeing as nvidia have 85% market share, even if 10% move to amd, that might double the demand...in which case you'll see amd run out of stock fairly quickly also. Gibbo saying he has a fair few thousand though, so not expecting a nvidia launch where it went from 'coming soon' to refresh and 'out of stock'Personally I think they'll see well..looking around at other platform threads, a fair few people waiting for the 9070xt now....all depends if they have msrp cards though..shove up at £800, and they'll sit on the shelf
nitro+ too expensive for the list?
