AMD RDNA3 unveiling event

1300 odd euros for a XTX on the french rainforest. Reference card (Sapphire), AIB pricing. Nvidia do not have to worry about much really.

So wait, we now judge UK prices on pre-sale prices on the French version of the river site?

Here’s me doing stupid thing of taking US MSRP and converting to GBP at current exchange rate, then adding 20% for VAT, then finally adding a bit for UK retail tax. I mean I’ve only being doing this for the past 30 years for PC hardware prices and the numbers usually work out about right.

Let’s try it with some other GPU just for ***** and giggles.

4080 MSRP is $1199 which is about £980 at current exchange rates. Add 20% VAT and you get just under £1200, now add UK retailer tax and you get about £1300. Wow, just about what the 4080 released for in the UK. It seems the old methods work.

AIB 7900 XTX will be ~£1050 - £1100 as current exchange rate +VAT goes.

Nope, your interpretation is dumb. I merely suggested it will be expensive.

You need to add a ~10% "UK surcharge" on top of the US price. I've been buying retail including PC hardware tit for tat across US and UK for the last 10 years and still can't put my finger on the reason for this added cost, but it's invariably there for most consumer retail goods. I think it's due to a combination of smaller market (less reseller competition, worse negotiation power, more captive consumers), FX hedging, and added bulk import charges. It's why I normally try to buy when back in Homeland when I can help it.

So, it's more like... £1000/1.23 = £813 + 20% VAT + 10% UK surcharge = ~£1196.

They never added that with the last 4 generarions of AMD CPUs or two generations GPUs though.

It was straight up $ price conversion and VAT rounded to nearest like 799 or 399 or 249 or 279 etc once done so not weird penny amount.

I don't know about anything particular otherwise just I checked that on my last purchases. I think Nvidia on the 700 and 900 series were also similar though.

We already know it will be expensive. So No, you were suggesting it would be over MSRP and that NVidia have nothing to worry about on pricing. Totally flawed logic given your utterly worthless source for your conclusion.

Retape = redesign / hardware

Interesting to see if this rumour is true. I heard they were having issues with the cards hitting full clock speed but that was fixed with a driver update. It sounds unlikely they would need to do a big hardware change like this and it’s just unsubstantiated rumour.
 
If it’s a retape it’s a change to hardware. Just rumours though and to be fair this is perfectly normal for hardware refinements during the course of a GPU life cycle.

Equally it could be some misunderstood info and it’s actually a 7950xtx. That would make sense.
 
Sounds like the 7900xtx is not working as expected with a retape next year. this is when you will see the 7950 XTXH but will be to late for some and to long to wait. If true the 7900xtx will limited in overclock if its hardware linked.

Yeah, that was my point. Though the narrative being pushed is clearly that the 7900 has a design flaw. I wonder who would be pushing such rumours this close to launch.

I’ll give you one guess and it rhymes with Chlamydia ;)

Exactly the same thoughts as me. Seems like an opposing media campaign.

If (if) the 2.6GHz boost clocks of the XTX are true, then getting another 400MHz would give about 10% -15% uplift. Add some extra CUs etc and we could see a refresh that is 20% - 25% faster.

I have a feeling it is just BS rumours though.
