AMD RDNA3 unveiling event

Again, will look at the price OCUK offers for the XTX tomorrow. If viable (since the 4080 is outside my power envelope budget), then the XTX wukk be got despite the performance. Since I'm jumping from a RX580.

However, if the price is not right (it needs to offer the performance but at an acceptable cost compared to previous gen), then a lower gen card will be sought instead. Since then I can upgrade the PSU and the GPU to a newer one a few more years down the line as well. Key thing here is; Options. :)

Right now, just waiting on tomorrow to see what choice is made for me. :)

lol the 4080 is more power efficient.

black screen during testing, crazy power spikes

at least if it sets on fire the screen will have some colour :p

A lot of Stockholm syndrome in this thread.

Its about where we expected it, its a very solid competitor to the 4080 and some people in here are behaving like the 4080 is too cheap in comparison.

dont get an xtx if you dont have the power for a 4080

the xtx power spikes higher and a 4080 lol

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.

Strange as CB got very good multi-monitor results:

although their youtube test was equally bad.

Radeon RX 7900 XTX & XT im Test: Lautstärke, Temperatur, Leistungsaufnahme / Lautstärke & Kühlung
www.computerbase.de www.computerbase.de

my preliminary verdict: almost as bad value as the 4080, perf/watt only 18% better than the 6900 XT.

Not a bad product, just a bad price see how soon AMD's "we are a premier brand" nonsense lasts when stock sits on the shelves. Raising prices in a recession is a bad idea in general, but when you have way less than 20% marketshare it must be suicide. If AMD don't want give up on GPUs, they have compete on price. I am personally not that bothered with RT (at least this decade) and certainly don't care a flying-whatever for Fake Frames (which marketing want us to call Frame Generation rather than Fake Frames) however: when you have something like 85:15 or so marketshare, you have to do better than undercutting the competition by 5%.

in conclusion from Hardware Unboxed: Same performance in raster as 4080 (even though he chose some favor games for AMD like MW2 that are horribly unoptimized for Nvidia), way slower in Ray Tracing across the board, no DLSS, worse power efficiency, and overall a worse product than the 4080 in every single metric, and should've cost 200 less. The fact that he can't even recommend it over the grossly overpriced 4080 speak volume how terrible a flagship product AMD has

Well with the showing so far from both sides I'll just sit on my 3060Ti and wait it out. By next gen everyone will be skint so they'll have to sell at sensible prices...or will they? :cry:
 
Pretty much in line with my expectations for both cards performance wise. My worries is more about the noise and coil whine highlighted by many reviews and so I'm wondering if it would not be better to wait for an AIB model instead :confused:
 
Lets face it, if Nvidia drop the price of the 4080 $100 it will out sell the 7900xtx for sure. RT alone its much better, lower power also. AMD need to forget AIB model's costing £1300+ for a start, as the performance is just not there, even the 3090ti beats it in RT if thats your thing.
I have to say i expected much better from RDNA3 its not even the 2nd best card to be fair.

People are just disappointed that AMDs offering won't be strong enough to force nvidia to drop prices by 30%.

People with no intention of buying an AMD card pretending they care how good or bad they perform.

This, so much this!
That's why they are saying they are disappointed. They weren't buying the card to begin with.
Now they are stuck with 4080 prices.
Lets see how many jump on 4080's now!
:cry:

Not getting the association here with Stockholm syndrome... I'm not sure that means what you think it means. Who's being held hostage?

People are upset, not only because they want AMD to take market share so there's more lively competition, but also and acutely, they want to see prices (all prices) come down to something less than off-the-wall bananas i.e. where we're at now. And there's no price dropping coming with this performance.

I suppose one takeaway is we can revert to throwing AMD's official performance numbers out with the rubbish. Nowhere do I see the up to 60% performance improvement over 6950xt they were purporting.

Edit: to put it in perspective, I was looking to upgrade to 7900xtx had it met the performance (or near it) that AMD was suggesting. A bit nope now.
