Any news on 7800 xt?

I'm in the same boat. I'm considering 6950xt 7900xt because I need a card capable of 5120x1440 @240Hz I'm taking it that 7800xt would need upscaling to do this in most games though.

At that res, definitely get the best GPU you can afford as it's almost 4K.

My friend was running that res on a 3090 comfortably and I run 4K on a 6900 XT with settings on mostly high/ultra depending on the title so I'd want at least the 6950 XT for any longevity. If you can stretch to the 7900 XT when they go on sale for £699 then that's a great buy for the extra grunt and VRAM.

Thank you yes I will take your advice, i was tempted by the 6950XT as it can be had for £609 but Ive plenty time to wait it out and as you say i'll grab a 7900XT hopefully at 699 nearer to christmas. 7900XT does look a great card certainly worth the extra in my opinion. Giving the 7800XT is closer to the older 6800XT its no longer an option. Cheers :)

Am I right in thinking there is no more planned releases for AMD for the rest of this year?

Yes. In fact, expect nothing more until RDNA 4.

I've even seen a few people complain that the planet maps are both too small and too big at the same time. Not big enough because it's not the whole planet, and too big because it takes ages to walk around exploring.

If you look at how No Man's Sky does it they couldn't even live up to half of that standard, and they had plenty of time to figure out how to properly procedurally generate planets in that way. That's why paradoxically it can be seen as both too small/too big. The planets systems just end up as feeling redundant, much like space travel; they could've had much more success trying to ape Mass Effect rather than what they chose. It's one of BGS's many failures in designing the game, not that many people care as it now very comfortably exists as gamepass fodder.

Hopefully not too close yo next Gen, nothing annoys gamers more than buying a GPU and then next Gen launches 4 months later

When's the next big tech event, January or around that? Id expect to see it announced there. They say rdna 3 is capable of 3ghz, hopefully that's what the card does.

The timing of most of the cards this gen has been poor. I started getting into PCs around 2005 and built my first in 2009 and I can't remember such a big gap between releases in the same product stack.

Almost bound to be a 7950 at some point.

Nah, why would they do that? Especially given that we have heard there won't be high-end RDNA 4 cards. Then their next highest card would be within spitting distance of their previous gen's highest. Plus they'd sacrifice margins & still not catch up to Nvidia's best, never mind how ridiculous the power consumption differential would be. It has happened before tho, that was basically Vega 64 vs 5700 XT, but I doubt it's in the cards again this time; back then it made sense because it led to better margins & was the introduction of a whole new architecture, while RDNA 4 sounds like it will be merely iterative. Moreover when I hear their investor Q&A's and I see everyone clamouring for investment in A.I. and Lisa Su stating that they will do exactly that, I don't think they are putting any more than the minimum resources into Radeon for gaming atm.

They will bring something more than evolutionary close to the next console cycle, remember who their real volume customers are...

Launch is 2pm tomorrow but it shall be a paper launch for us.

There is extremely limited stock in U.K. and it’s priced as such and due to that I’ve made decision to wait and our stock will be here in about a weeks time but prices will be much closer or at MSRP.

We shall probably only offer Sapphire also to begin with. :)

Sapphire Pulse 7800XT is now in stock at OCUK—£20 above MSRP.
