We normally match the US$ price, but I have a feeling we’ll get shove closer to the Euro price point

If they follow Nvidia it will be below, just like how the FE cards have been due to the stronger pound.

$449 and $499, not bad....

I think AMD has priced these as high as they can without looking totally stupid.

That pricing leaves a huge gap between the 7800xt and 7900xt, maybe the 7900 GRE will get a western rebrand as the 7800xtx or 7850xt.

Or maybe they will keep dropping the 7900XT down to 650 as that’s what it should have cost to begin with.

the 4070 is sub 550 some places, cant see the 7800xt selling that great with say £50 difference.

FSR3 smells like it doesn't have any AI upscaling.... damn

What do we think, about £480 or so? That with Starfield (which I was buying anyway) isn't too bad?

Hopefully. But we will see what street pricing is like and if it comes with the game. Wonder if Nvidia will drop the RTX4070 pricing?

Too expensive, the 7800 xt should be no more then £300

If the 7800XT does better, as the AMD charts suggest, than the 4070, at a lower price combined with more VRAM, will make the 4070 look a bit stupid.

The 7700XT at $449 just makes the 4060 Ti 16GB look even more stupid.

Nvidia are going to have drop prices or loose market shre, but the question these days is do they care.

It's still silly high. Where are the performance £300 cards that aren't last gen or lowest end

The urge to sell on my 4070 and bag a 7800xt is not strong. The Nvidia feature set is enough to warrant a higher price point Vs Radeon. Jensen does not drop his knickers for AMD.

What kind of upgrades are you doing ? Went from 3090 to 4070 ? now even questioning 4070 to 7800xt lol

3090? never had one.

The $499 for the 7800XT makes 7900XT's $899 (or is the $730 the new official price) seem very overpriced.

I mean you're paying an extra $50 to go from the 7700XT to the 7800XT, but if you want to go from a 7800XT to the 7900XT they expect you to pay an anything from $400-200 more.

Frame gen with hyperRX running on any DX11 or DX12 game is abit of a game changer.

How well will it run though and what it will look like is another question altogether.

So they are doing fake frames and reducing latency? What Witchcraft is this?

The 4070 already looks stupid, didn't need AMD for that.

Frame Gen in any DX11 / 12 game if it has it or not.

What about that?

The million dollar question!

Not due till start of next year though so won't be surprised if nvidia beat them to the punch.

Going to be very interesting to see how/if latency will be a problem too.......
