AMD RDNA3 unveiling event

[harmattan]

I ain't paying £1000, much less £1200 for this.

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.

only if you dont want ray tracing

WIth ray tracing its **** poor

Because they've been reading bull **** rumours and believing them

 

[humbug]

CoD players gonna love this ****!!

Mate sent me the pic, don't judge

Brand new architecture, much better performance for games that are optimised for it, in time the performance will grow.

We have seen this before, fine wine is back!

 

[Gibbo]

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

Been hinting at this for past month.

Incredible value for money in current climate.

Think the XTX raster performance is a little underwhelming, i expected a tad more tbh.

buy a card and have to wait 12 months for it to perform? no thanks

in what world is that sensible purchasing? you wouldnt buy any other product and wait for it to perform

 

[humbug]

WIth ray tracing its **** poor

Its equal to a 3090Ti, was that always **** poor?

 

[RavenXXX2]

4080 sales about to get a boost as well as 6900xt.

You should buy at the performance you see at the time, its a 4080 $200 cheaper, if you don't like that buy the 4080.

 

[Dontrocktheboat]

Its not awful, but 7900xtx needed to be $900 dollars.

Looks like we will have to wait for 7950xtxx to go for the AMD.

TBF, AMDs very own show had the 4080 being placed quite far ahead of the 4080 but falling short of the 4090, according to some here, amd wouldn't do such a thing and they hold more weight than what nvidia did..... But as HUB said, amd got no one to blame but themselves here, nvidia ada show was bad but this just proves amd took the **** even further with deceiving slides, key words of "up to" and so on.

I dont think the 4080 will shift still, it needs to be cheaper.

its not a 4080 though is it

it cant perform in ray tracing

Very game dependant.

It barely outpaces my old 3080 in some RT heavy games.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Looks like we will have to wait for 7950xtxx to go for the AMD.

Problem is, nVidia can just drop a 4080ti that closes the huge gap between the 4080 and 4090.

Ah okay, yeah that makes sense. I'm running a 3070 but have never really used ray tracing so I guess it's not something I think about. So this card would still beat my 3070 in ray tracing?

Ray tracing aside this AMD card looks on par with RTX 4080, beats RTX 3090 Ti and costs less than the Nvidia alternatives in same performance ballpark. I wouldn't call it a failure.

I may just wait for a refresh, prices across the board are too high imho.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Embarrassing, ada more efficient.

 

[Nexus18]

Small text time:

*with considerably slower RT, even compared to ampere in some cases, worse power efficiency and consumes more power, doesn't have the same streaming/recording capabilities, doesn't have dlss, doesn't have cuda and so on

 

[Hedge]

I watched a few reviews and it seems decent enough. Not sure why people are acting like it was meant to be comparable to a 4090 mind.
