Anything looks like progress when compared to probably the worse price performance GPU in any generation ever, compared to a £650 3080 or £600 6800XT the 7900XT offers no better performance per cost infact its probably a regression.Considering people here were smashing 1,899 down for a 3090ti 12 (ish) months ago, 999inc for a 7900XTX reference is what progress looks like.
This card is DOA already. For someone spending £1000 on a card with no real RT perf and sub-par upscaling, why would anyone choose the 7900XTX over 4080 or even the 4090 for that matter.
- inferior RT
- inferior upscaling
- inferior driver
- inferior tech (other than gaming graphics)
- next to useless for render perf in comparison to Nvidia
- next to useless for AI in comparison to Nvidia
7900XTX finds itself in a strange position where it’s ONLY advantage is pricing against its competition. It’s technologically an inferior product by almost every metric.
So if it is not DOA already I don’t know what is.
AMD fan boys are going to be having a good time spinning this one around the corner.
i dont think its gonna happen.. nvidia is too deep into feature differentiation nowwe might see some price battle going on shame its starting so high up lol
For anyone not in for fighting for either side like some obscure pointless willy battle.
- Performance is actually quite good
- Beats / matches 4080 for the most part
- Occasionally beats 4090
- Loses in ray tracing tests (if you actually care)
- Points to some potential driver issues with reviews (Linus said they had delays getting drivers - so probably not the best drivers they could shift)
Overall seems decent, although pricing is going to make it a hard sell in UK when we see them list at god knows what tomorrow. Think I'd be going for one, if the prices are right, if they're not my 1070 is getting another year of love.
Gibbo already gave pricing for MBA version (£899 and £1049 - pretty much MSRP). Also, over 1k of them in stock confirmed.For anyone not in for fighting for either side like some obscure pointless willy battle.

Probably based on AMDs claims that it's c50% quicker than last gen which does not seem to be the case in a lot of titles.I remember watching the product launch thing a month or so ago. It had prices at $999 and it pitched performance figures around them of a 4080. Now the release is here. The product is around $999 and the performance is around a 4080...
Im confused by everyone acting somehow disappointed.

yes its insane but true, so 4090 might get a price hike, asus is already leading the trend
i already got one founders edition, i was waiting for this to decide what i need for my 2nd pc
Same question to you as @harmattan do you think AMD just deliberately tried to pull the wool over our eyes? Genuine question.
--snipSomething from Asus... the biggest one they make.
