AMD 7900 xtx out of stock.

That's increased sales. But does AMD still making them? And if so what volumes?
They going out of stock UK wide.
 
5xxx has been such a disappointing launch that buyers who had cash ready are now hoovering up certain 4xxx and 7xxx cards. Also looks like the margins are poor for 5xxx cards which is why they are going into pre-builts systems for better profit. We are long past the point where a new graphics card looks value for money.

Im wondering, and slightly puzzled about new amd 9070 increased power draw. Any ideas what benefits can this card get from extra power draw if its not supose to be better than 7900xtx

Let's be honest, we're long past the point where a new graphics card is even required.

lol this is kinda true.. I am gaming on my RX570... at like low-ish settings 1440p at around 50-80fps depending on the game. You can dial down the graphic settings and it wont take anything away from enjoying the actual game. I've also been gaming a lot more on my rog ally portable handheld - again, everything running mostly on low settings to get a minimum of 60fps and games aren't any less fun. *contemplates the pc gamer ultra quality settings life* :cry:

I agree, unless you’re chasing high fps 4k, honestly even a 3080 Ti (for the 12GB vs 10GB on the 3080) will suffice… back when I got into computers during the GTX 400 series they just didn’t last as long before games brought them down to their knees

There hasn't been any concrete information about what the real power consumption of the new cards will be, so it's not worth thinking too much about yet.

I had asked in the other thread if there was anything I could move to from my current 7900XT for under £1,000. The answer is no, and that's mental considering the 7900XT cost me £699 in August '23. I could buy the exact same card from OcUK right now for £720... If it was in stock (which was the point the OP was making) :p

As for performance, it's still pushing everything I need at 4k, and FSR seems to evolve with new releases to keep up the pace. I'm just about to buy Kingdom Come 2, and from what I've read so far I'll be getting 60fps+ with FSR and even better if I dial some of the unnecessary settings down a bit.

It's no surprise that last gen cards are in high demand. I understand why enthusiasts will pursue the latest and greatest, but it really is just vanity purchases now.

Yep same here. I’m only really playing CS2 lately but the amount of fps im getting is absurd.

It will certainly put out some FPS on that! I have been playing Fortnite and COD on mine at 1440p with all the bells and whistles on. Maxes out my monitors refresh rate of 165 no problem.

Unless I've missed something, we don't know how much power the cards pull yet?

There are photos showing that the 9070 XT Red Devil comes with a 900W PSU recommendation, and the Reaper a 750W recommendation. The 7900 XTX Red Devil also carries a 900W recommendation. And while there's no 7900 XTX Reaper, Powercolor recommend 800W for both the Hellhound and reference cards.
