AMD RDNA3 unveiling event

But it's fun though it gets the Nvidia fanatics worked up

just shows how childish people are over something that makes 0 difference, or how gullible they are to marketing

You mean like Ray Tracing?

 

[skullkid]

do we know how the 7900 XTX stacks up with blender and other productivity yet!?

 

[Chuk_Chuk]

people are making a huge deal out of it but neither card is powerful enough to take advantage of a dp2.1 port anyway and I'm guessing 99% of users won't have a monitor that does uber high refresh either.

DP 1.4 caps out at 120Hz at 4k

Here is the 4090 running at a 190 fps at 4k

It also means it also means it is partially pointless to use DLSS3 if your frame rates are higher than 60FPS, at 4k. Though that is a different discussion all together.

I use hdmi 2.1 double bandwidth of dp 1.4

 

[Grim5]

Plus DSC exists, which AMD is aware of, which is why they claim the 7900XTX supports 900hz refresh rates

Does make you wonder if panels have been held back a little by the connection technology rather than vice-versa. Guess we're gonna find out soon enough!

He does mention it's a 4080 competitor

They partnered with OBS (smart access video?) and they demo'd some guy who made a CGI film, not really sure if anything else was shared.

The guys from PCWorld,Tom's Hardware and Level1Techs think AMD has clocked the reference cards for optimal performance/watt but the AIB cards might see much higher clockspeeds,but the power limits will be much higher.

2 x 8pin connectors, clearly as much performance as possible, but limited by the available power. Even the cooler looks reasonable.
But as soon some AIB uses a 3 x 8pin, some bigger cooler, I would expect the performance gap to be noticeably bigger than we normally see from reference to mid/high AIB. Performance won't increase proportionally to power used, as never does, but I don't expect to see some wimpy 2 to 5%. If that happens, will be very disappointing.

It will be interesting to see if indeed the reference design is power limited.

Doubt it because panels are already behind what's currently possible.

With DP2.1 and DSC AMD in their notes says RDNA 3 can do 1440p 900hz. The thing is 1440p 480hz is already possible and we don't have any screens for that.

 

[Drefsab]

thing is there’s a lot of older titles that if you ran them on one of these cards some of those higher frame rates are possible, plus I’m not gaming anytime soon at 8k my monitor is 1440p at @165 so I’m really interested on how close these cards get to that… if these cards can get close to that in AAA titles then sign me up.

Do we know if OCUK will be getting preorders up? Knowing that I tried to preorder an evga 3080 ftw3 before they launched never got ahold of one… the whole series’s of cards was superseded and I still wasn’t able to get one. Sure I could have bought another and could now but instead I’d like to get in the line for one of these asap.

So with AMD saying that the 7900XTX is a 4080 competitor, does that therefore mean the lower stack isn't going to be as cheap as people hoped it would be? Ironically, the RDNA3 rumours thread has become overrun with nVidia fans arguing with themselves

Isn't it obvious when Nvidia tried to price the RTX4060 12GB as a £900 RTX4080 12GB and the RTX4070 16GB as the nearly £1300 RTX4080 16GB??

Reading some comments on here apparently JHH stated they didn't want to discount Ampere cards. So basically this Turing MK2,but even worse!

That comment about being a 4080 competitor is interesting, if we are talking about a price competitor it is cheaper than the 4070 4080 16GB.
If we are talking about performance then raster wise, i believe they 7900XTX wipes the floor with the 4080 16GB, if we are talking about RT, then early figures say it is a tie.

Could AMD be referring to the "real" 4080, so a cut down a 4090?

Went in the sapphire Facebook page and they mentioned they will have cards available on the 13th of December

I wouldn't even be tempted if the AIB OC only gave that boost, at that point the premium price they charge probably wouldn't be worth it. A stock reference design would likely be better.
