AMD RDNA3 unveiling event

CAT-THE-FIFTH said:
I just had a quick look at the reviews. So the RTX7900XT is bit faster overall in rasterisation(but slower than the AMD slides implied) than an RTX4080,but the latter is about 15% to 20% faster in RT according to TPU. It seems the RT uplift is actually much larger than I expected since it seems to be slightly better than an RTX3090TI according to TPU:

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.

It seem's the uplift in RT is greater than the uplift in rasterised performance!Still overpriced like the rest of them! :cry:

Yeah, this is my take on it as well. It's not a bad GPU at all despite the usual suspects bleating. It is certainly a vaible alternative to the 4080 give the relative price/perf.

Just neither are priced remotely realistically IMHO and for what it's worth neither is the 4090.
 
Talking real numbers, I see the situation as such (throwing in a few "hypothetical" assumptions):
  • Cheapest AIB 4080 is £1270
  • Cheapest (AIB branded) reference 7900xtx is £1100 (and it will be, so get off that £1000 RRP daydream)
Ergo... If you find better RT performance and better consistancy across games (that will likely stabilize over time), is that worth £170 to you? Or is all of this academic because these prices, for these cards, is bat guano?

Don't forget 4080 also has these pros which may be important for some or not at all:

- better streaming/recording
- cuda
- lower power consumption and better efficiency (especially in RT)
- dlss IQ and uptake
- frame generation

Either way, both are still overpriced.

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 wonder what MLID will post about now? All his videos leading up to the launch were talking about how great the 7900XTX is, the AIB versions will get within the same performance tier as 4090. Turned out to be BS
 
Remember when paying £999 for the 2080ti was considered insane? 3080 FE for £649 was an absolute bargain, will be sitting on this for a few years until we see prices normalise.

Also for a card this expensive the 2 year warranty is a little low on the reference designs, I'd have thought 3 years would've been good to compete with nVidia Founder Edition warranty.

"better streaming/recording" - has that been proven?
"cuda" - well I would hope a proprietary nVidia technology is only on an nVidia GPU!
