Oooooo are the NDAs/embargos being lifted today?

9am EST, same as it ever was.

Three hours and 5 minute to go then.

Shame they weren't priced at 700 and 900US, think they would have sold well at those prices.

RT performance will be the key for me.

If the top 7900 XTX can outperform 3090 & TI, at 4K - 1440P with RT on. That would be a good start, and worth shelling out some £££?

We won't see the Tier 1 7900 XTX cards until April, given previous launches.

All the current announcements are for the Tier 2 and 3 cards.

I have a lot of stock, my tip to everyone is order Sapphire MBA cards, got lots of them.
Custom cards are like 10-20 units max or zero stock, volume in January.

I shall put custom up for pre-order but expect a 4-12 week wait!

The Nitro cards are absolutely stunning though and have serious power design and coolers.

These are the ones with 3x8 pin power connectors? Will definitely pick one up if that’s the case. Would love to get a sapphire card again!

Will we get information on the prices of the cards before the release tomorrow?

When can we find out how much these cards will cost, will it be before the release?

We should start a support group there's plenty in the same boat :cry:

@Gibbo any sign of liquid devils from powercolor or expect them in a few months?

dave28 · 12 Dec 2022 at 11:22

if the youtube vids comparing the cards are real ( or are they fakes made by trolls ) then i have no idea why there is only $100 between the xt and xtx. The xtx looks to be considerably stronger

cainer · 12 Dec 2022 at 11:31

Which reviewer are you guys going to hit up first?

GN for me, that's my goto place, not looking at buying one though as i'm a ~£200 GPU kinda guy

Yes!
Pulse 7900 XT = 2x 8 Pin with 331W TDP
Pulse 7900 XTX = 3x 8 Pin with 370W TDP
Nitro 7900 XT = 3x 8 Pin with 368W TDP
Nitro 7900 XTX = 3x 8 Pin with 420W TDP

Nice to see Sapphire kept Pulse 7900 XT at 2x 8 Pin though, means it will no doubt run fine on a 650W PSU upwards.

MSRP you all know, we won't have any cards at the MSRP, but some will be close as within 5-10%

They will come but I wont make those available until we get some, no doubt February onwards due to the always crazy limited numbers and they won't be cheap.

Darujhistan · 12 Dec 2022 at 11:34

Not buying, waiting for 7800xt at most. But this will be interesting all the same.

Amazing. I will attempt to get a nitro. That was top of my list from the start. What time will they go up for order?

That’s seems like a large spread in power figures. Could someone please add reference figures for compariosn

Will be interesting to see how much extra performance it comes with.

Thanks Gibbo. Do you know what the Red Devil TDP rating is and will you have any stock tomorrow?
