The 3 pin AIB cards actually gain a lot when OC ing.

The 4090 also gains a nice chunk when overclocking as will the 4080 and 7900XT also :D

Digital Foundry and other news outlets specifically asked AMD about the use of the word "upto" in the slides and got a response that the GPU is so fast that the CPU may bottleneck it. They didn't say it was on a specific spot but rather due to bottlenecking.

Believe me, those numbers are taken from specific areas in games where the framerate is higher than usual, that's how these things are always portrayed. Basically a very specific scenario that people play through the game numerous times to find.

I guess they changed their tags/flair to show that they have amd gpus too? :D

Why are the goalposts on wheels? You made a query as to whether Nvidia owners are in the AMD subreddit and I'm assuring you that yes, Nvidia owners do post in the AMD subreddit.

Most people in there don't have any tag or flair so what is this "most" you're claiming.

Is just a little shy of 15%, I wouldn't call that a lot. A lot was back in in 7950/7970 era where you'd gain a bit over 20% (about 23% for my 7950) through overclocking. Not to mention the power consumption, heat and noise will skyrocket as well.
 
It's pretty simple really, if potential customers (who aren't amd/nvidia fans) truly don't care for RT then they really will buy a 7900xtx over a 4080..... Bit silly imo (buying a 4080 for £1+k is also silly too) but each to their own and all that. Having said that, there are plenty of other reasons to go for a 4080 over a 7900xtx (if both are similarly priced) unless people enjoy paying similar price and get less for their money but I digress...

Most? It’s not even sold out. I suspect it’s an exaggeration.

Reading comments on review videos and amds reddit suggest most are very disappointed with the 7800xtx, I suspect this is more down to amd hyping everyone up with their false information/show though tbf.

A claim was made that RT to be only important to nvidia owners but when going by amd specific threads/forums where you have people who aren't as loyal to amd as some folks on here, it appears to not to be a case of "only nvidia fans caring", hence the comments from some amd fans/owners, might as well grab a 4080 thus indicating RT must be of some value.

And see above post.

Some RT benchmarks from TPU review of the 7900 XTX TUF.

Seems to be similar performance to the 3090 TI in RT.

Picked one up at £999 and got a freebie coming too.

The TUF OC gets a further 5%-8% performance boost which brings it very close to 4080 in RT. The 7900XTX is starting to look very good after yesterday's 'disappointment' narrative spread by many on here. I wasn't expecting RT to be better than a 3090TI but AMD seems to have made some decent improvements without even adding dedicated tensor cores.

AMD fine wine driver improvements will close the gap further imo.

TBF, cooling seems decent although is 3rd party so to be expected:

Efficiency seems ada is still king here but looks like that is no longer an important metric despite being all the rage over the past couple of years, I wonder why ;)

It varies from game to game, but on average its 3090/3090 TI RT performance. So is that good enough or not?

I think for most it probably is. It depends on the use case and as you can see here from 'certain users', how rabid that user is.

2nd gen RT vs 2nd gen RT, it's interesting that performance is so close when you look at it from that perspective. Although no doubt about it, Nvidia have a gen advantage atm. It is what it is. :)

The RT is no surprise at all as amd did show us it matching a 3090/ti so they have done well here for 2nd gen, amd customers will now be able to at least turn on and use RT compared to RDNA 2, especially with fsr 2+ getting added more often now, like I always said from day 1, RDNA 3 is a great upgrade for RDNA 2 owners and <=turing owners. Sadly us ampere owners who aren't willing to spend 1+k still have no real upgrade path.

TPU delivering the goods today, another AIB review this time the Merc. Also shows good overclock potential past 3Ghz.

While the AMD reference RX 7900 XTX was 8% faster than the RTX 4080, the stock XFX Merc 310 is 12.5% faster, if you add OC+UV on top, you're getting 19.9%—this looks much closer now to what AMD has promised us.

XFX Radeon RX 7900 XTX Merc 310 OC Review - 3x 8-pin FTW

With the Speedster Merc 310, XFX has engineered an excellent custom-design Radeon RX 7900 XTX. Thanks to an upgraded cooler, the card can easily handle the additional heat output from the three 8-pin power inputs. The additional power is put to good use, to extend the performance lead against...

I wish XFX had kept the Merc RX Red RGB logo from the 69xx series, they looked ace.
