AMD RDNA3 unveiling event
- Thread starter CAT-THE-FIFTH
- Start date
time to increase msrp $100Pound is creeping up against the dollar. Come on pound get your skates on.
Time for retailers to increase prices despite getting these cheaper. (FTFY)
OCUK and other retailers have 4080s increased ~£100 since yesterday, despite them not selling. You can literally watch live as they increase the prices after an F5 refresh.

yeah if its not scalped enough before it gets to the warehouse its going to be by the time its sold

Tbf they often order thesein advance not on the day the currency changes to they probably ordered them a few weeks ago when the pound was weaker.
Now for AMD it "Should" be different as they probably haven't ordered their supplies yet so "Should" get better rates.

it was at $1.19 yesterday, its now at $1.18, its needs to be at $1.20+ for the cost of a GPU to be a 1:1 $ ratio or less after VAT, unless Jeremy _unt puts VAT up, which is likely, 22.5% minimum, might be 25%.

lol if he put vat up, there will be riots.
They are probably putting them up so they can drop them to what they originally were on black friday and call it a deal.
That is true but not in realtime with items that are still in stock.

Ah yes, the rabid, hyperbolic optimism for Polaris was hilarious. I'd go back to those threads for a good laugh if I didn't have better things to do.
Your VAT is already quite high compared to sales taxes in other countries.
VAT and sales taxes in general are also a poor way to gather tax because they punish poor people and reward rich people

Ooooh I see Overclockers has the EK waterblock for the 7900 xtx on pre-order
AMD has removed references to power efficiency comparisons to nvidia.
Also notes from slides that got pulled from the announcement event show AMD was planning to show the 7900xtx vs an rtx4090 in performance per watt to show how the 7900xtx was more efficient - the notes show the problem though, AMD was using Nvidia stated 450w TDP and believed the 4090 would run at that like previous cards had (such as the 3090ti)
You can understand why, only later after making the slides they found that for RTX4000 Nvidia changed how its GPUs use TDP and they had become theoretical limits not targets. And the 7900XTX perf/watt slide no longer painted the picture that AMD wanted to show when using the 4090's actual power draw in games vs the 7900xtx so they were pulled.

Radeon RX 7900 XT(X): AMD legt sich die RTX 4080 als ersten RDNA-3-Gegner zurecht
In einer Präsentation zur RX-7900-Serie rückt AMD die Vorzüge gegenüber der am Mittwoch startenden RTX 4080 von Nvidia ins Rampenlicht.

I don't see how CPU bottlenecked PPW comparisons are relevant here, no one would ever do that, oh wait... they cited they did
Well no one in their right mind would do that.The total board power is the total board power, if you were to do a PPW comparison you would simply use a example that isn't CPU bottlenecked.

All these problems Nvidia caused by not letting AMD test the 4000 series before doing their own launch
Completely scuffed AMD's powerpoint presentation.
The 4090 went on sale more than 2 weeks before the RDNA3 launch. AMD had time to test them.
Frankly in my experience the max power draw should be measured when these top tier GPUs are being pushed to do, what they are designed to do. Run graphically intensive games at 4K, with max details and max FPS. So using older games and lower resolutions that hit CPU limits and using the results as "gaming power", is pure BS.
I'll just leave this from the TPU 4090 CP2077 max details test.
Tomhshardware pretty much confirmed this as well, that only when pushed to 4K max details does the 4090 TDP hit near the limits. Here is Metro Exodus at 4K max details with RT.

And they pulled the slide but didn't remove all traces.
They had nothing for the 4080 which is the major reason people were complaining that AMD wasn't doing competitor comparisons.
