There seem to be a ton of bad rumours starting around the 7900's.

First AMD 7900 XTX leaked benchmark score is absolutely terrible vs Nvidia RTX 4090 & 4080

AMD's upcoming RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT are expected to compete favorably against the RTX 4080 at a cheaper price. However, the first benchmark for the XTX has leaked and it isn't looking good.

Looks better than a 4080 but worse than a 4090 but cheaper. About what I would expect.

I am not quite sure why some of the press are comparing it with the 4090 and declaring it's terrible, since it was never aimed at the 4090 anyway.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 launch could face supply issues, no reference cards for mainland China - VideoCardz.com

AMD Radeon RX 7900 launching next week Multiple reports claim that AMD Radeon RX 7900 launch may face supply issues. Igor’sLAB published an article about Radeon 7900 series based on information collected from multiple sources, including big board partners making Radeon GPUs. It is said that...

Look like UK will receive very few RX 7900 series cards.

Maybe not such a bad thing that stocks are low.

Igors lab also says the 7900xtx and 7900xt are still suffering from memory problems that are causing system crashes, so maybe it's better not to be an early adopter of new MCM tech until it's ironed out

top tier card vs top tier card, you cant expect them to do more research than that!

also got to get those click bait titles out based on a rumour before everyone else

 

[Gibbo]

Im in it for the fire sales! ala 6900xt for £650. Probably be over a year though!

You missed it!
Asrock deal been and gone I am afraid. Plus once 7900 series drops, any last scraps of 6800 and 6900 series will get eaten up fast due to how much cheaper they cost, solid performing cards in the £500-£700 are a rare thing now and what is coming gets not even remotely close to such a price bracket in the short term.

Because it's AMDs halo card

 

[Joxeon]

Prior to Brexit.

Considering brexit happened a few years ago now, if a big company like AMD can't find a way to do business in the UK then it's no supprise they keep losing marketshare to Nvidia.

It's the same reason we all compare Intel A770 to the RTX 4090, It's Intel's Halo card.

I'm sure they can if they felt it was worth it, but they don't. We're just not a big enough market to be worth it.

hard to be a market when you get 0 stock

 

[von Humboldt]

That's not the reason. They sell here to Ireland which is a tiny market compared to the UK.

Not disagreeing with you, but that’s when they gave up on the UK.

 

[Gibbo]

Just posted up another epic 6900 XT deal!

 

[SpudMaster]

hopefully not with the same markup compared to other uk competitors, can find 2 models of the 4090 on oc.uk for £150 cheaper on a big name uk retailer

Don't worry Gibbo will sell them to us for the same prices in a few months as an epic forum member deal....

 

[kalniel]

Ireland is part of EU market - low overheads to move internally within the market and AMD can't (and wouldn't want to) stop movement between market members.

That would make sense if they offered Direct Buy to all member states, but they don't.

The 6900XT had similar performance with the RTX 3090 (except RT)
Now the 7900XTX is slower than RTX 4090

Do we have a proper reference figure, to compare these numbers to?

It is reported that in about a month Nvidia sold/shipped around 130,000 cards in about a month or 35,500 cards per week. Assuming EAME is getting half of AMDs stock that puts them within a reasonable distance to what Nvidia achieved. It doesn't tell us if that is good or bad though.

Could someone who speaks German double check what Igors article says in german, because in english he reports

While some sources speculate with only 10,000 reference cards each for EMEA

Is this amongst AIBs? Is "each" a grammatical error or him misunderstanding his source?
