It isn't even competing with the 4080 really.LOL at people who thought that 7900 was a 4090 competitor when AMD said it was a 4080 competitor.

Looks like it currently trades blows with the RTX 4080 for less money, more vram and driver improvements could make this a decent buy. Maybe I'll just wait until a refresh, prices might come down..

Power consumption is not great.
High whilst playing videos, high on multi monitor and on full chat it sucks as much power as 3090.
50W more than 4080.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Review - Disrupting the GeForce RTX 4080
Navi 31 is here! The new $999 Radeon RX 7900 XTX in this review is AMD's new flagship card based on the wonderful chiplet technology that made the Ryzen Effect possible. In our testing we can confirm that the new RX 7900 XTX is indeed faster than the GeForce RTX 4080, but only with RT disabled.

Its about 10% slower than i thought it might be, but not bad, that's ok, its a solid competitor to the 4080.
RT is equal to a 3090Ti, i think that's pretty good.

Not if you take RT into account, but we knew that. It's the mediocre rasterization numbers I'm surprised by: I was certain they be above 4080 in a notable sense.
Prices will be staying where they are now. Pathetic.
You could say that is the premium for RT and DLSS. All Nvidia has to do is slash prices by £100 and they are back in the game.

That is the thing in all but maybe a handfull of games it is a lot slower or only just about matching the 4080. I was expecting with the bluster given about 10% of 4090 in Rsta. It is really not good.

How are people calling this a failure? Must be watching different sources I guess.
It mostly beats the RTX 4080 and costs less, has more vram and AMD are known for improving performance with drivers.

This is my feeling too, no mention of any hardware advances in RDNA3 bar RT improvement, seems they focussed just on getting the hardware/chiplets right.

Hmmm looks like buying 6000 cards on offer while they're still around could be the way to go.

7900 XT and XTX has high gaming power consumption and awful video playback power consumption.RTX 4080 is king.
Nvidia need to cut RTX 4080 price now.
