It's the latter scenario nV and AMD are banking on. Both companies benefit from an adjusted pricing scale, and have been trying to push they envelope for years. Both are sitting on heaps of capital to keep prices high until the market adjusts -- they're playing the long game. The only possible saving grace is shareholders start getting antsy if sales are low over several quarters.

With inflation like it is across the world I doubt we will ever see pricing like that again. Not until the next gen arrives and they need to clear the stock. The real downside of the recession are the layoffs and that means less people developing the cards so we won’t see any major developments of the cards for a while either.

When you ramp up production you hire people to build cards and ship them / process orders etc., not design them. When sales slump you sack the people you hired to build cards, not the designers.

I was trying hard not to laugh so much. "8% gap between the XT 2nd X, and XT none 2nd X but one first X". Also that graph with the number of Xs.Greedy, greedy AMD (with their 7800XT)
Tech’s going through a big rut at the moment so devs and designers are getting hit too. I’m in the industry and see the writing’s on the wall for them as well.
It's been less than a day and people have gotten very high clocks on the 7900xtx
So at stock it runs around 2500mhz, up to 2700mhz with some tweaks, but one reviewers did push 3200mhz and one person has gotten 3700mhz. The only issue is that you can't game at over 2700mhz.
The 7900xtx can do 2700mhz without touching the clockspeed slider, just changing voltage and power limit; as soon as you touch the slider, games will not run and immediately crash, but 3700mhz is possible just to show that it can run at idle
My theory: While I have no evidence of this, I believe the reason the 7900xtx crashes after changing its clockspeed is because you are only changing one of the two clockspeeds that control the GPU due to AMD decoupling them in RDNA3 and there is some sort of ratio that needs to be maintained and by changing one of the clocks you break the ratio and it can no longer operate. Therefore the AIB cards will have the same issue and not offer any better overclocking other than temps from better cooling until there is a way to control both the core and front end clocks

Callisto Protocol is a terribly optimised game. You can't use that as an indication for anything. Game stutters so badly due to shader compilation DF didn't even Want to cover it
AMD created the hype. Their slides showed up to 1.5x performance gains over the 6950XT. Then they were specifically asked whether that "upto" meant maximum fps by Digital Foundry to which they said it was meant to account for CPU bottlenecks.
That led to people extrapolating benchmarks which showed it competing with 4090. AMD have no one to blame but themselves. Had they claimed 1.35x the performance for $800 the card would have been much bigger received.

make way for the xfx rx Radeon 7900 XTX..
Frank Azor must be thinking abt changing the Radeon brand to xxxxxxx.. in his bubblexxx i.e.

Thats like me buying a 240 hz 4k monitor and being told it will be fine in desktop mode at that speed but no games will run at above 60hz.....

That's a big possibility, designers are fixed costs that needs to be brought down if the revenue outlook doesn't recover
Custom Models Tiers. Clock speed boosts over reference.
Tier 1 = +12% over reference (OC Formula, Toxic, Strix OC LC, Liquid-Devil (TBC))
Tier 2 = +8% over reference (Nitro+, Aurous)
Tier 3 = +4% over reference (Pulse, HellHound)
Tier 4 = Reference.

Actually tier one H20 cards always run same boost clocks as their air cooled counterparts.
So a Nitro and Toxic have same clocks.
As do a Devil and water cooled devil.
The advantage comes from lower temps allowing the higher boost clocks to be held longer.
Max out of box clocks seem to be 2510MHz Game clock and 2680MHz Boost clock which so far I’ve seen on Nitro and Aorus cards.

I was gonna comment if it's looking like that, they might as well go all the way and put a anime waifu on it...Best looking 7900xtx on the market
But then I looked again more closely and realised...they did

still amusing as can see made right choice with 4080 considering extremely short availability for these new cards in europe and because all the upcoming games I want will be playable just with RT at 4k at console lvl fps maybe higher at times depending on optimization with DLSS enabled so should last me until the next gen at which point can probably still get most of the money back from what I spent towards the new card
Finally. A card that matches the colour of my case!Best looking 7900xtx on the market

Even the Red Devil seems to only run slightly higher clocks and only just faster than the reference card. Temps and noise a hell of a lot better than reference though so there is that.
Glad to see reviewers and most of the amd fanbase also calling out amd for their dodgy marketing PR show with misleading performance figures, being the best in efficiency ended up a load of bs, upping their tiers and charging more as a result.
Now we just need people to vote with their wallet and not buy any of these gpus by amd or nvidia.
