Yeah was one of the value adds of going with the AMD option, assuming you wanted to play the game of course. Will be holding off until either that appears or pricing drops a bit I think. Was all poised to pre-order as well!

I don't care - if there is no Starfield that means I won't be buying it especially with the fake £480 price which is more like £500+ and no better than Nvidia. If I need to buy Starfield that is huge reason for me not to bother. I have no interest in RDNA2 cards,unless the RX6800 is very cheap. I saw an RTX4070 12GB for £500 recently,and that would be an easier fit for my mini-ITX rig. So I might as wait longer for one to have a deal on.
So like with me and wanting an RX6700XT,AMD playing stupid games meant I ended up with an Nvidia card. Might have history repeating itself at this rate,because it is easier to get a misprice or deal on Nvidia cards(due to having higher volume).

The only thing that makes these cards look good is Nvidia's 4000 pricing.
Nothing exciting but also not laughably bad like say the 4060ti 16GB

Other retailers are offering Starfield with these new GPUs.
honestly, the only thing thats worthwhile between this and the 4070 over previous gen is AV1 encoding, which is vastly better then H.264 ( h.265 is a mess because of the people that distributed it and hence why we have AV1 ).
Its been very expensive bar the intel arc 380 ( which I have by the way as a 2nd card for AV1 acceleration ) to get AV1, since AMD really only had it for the 7900 XT and Nvidia granted had it to the 4060 but the grunt on that card is too weak in general for other tasks.
Its a mess, its all I can say.
AMD should really be utterly ashamed, they look like utter clowns right now, like UTTER pretenders in the GPU space...
They clearly did not have to copy the same tactic as Nvidia, they could have named their cards honestly, and segmented them honestly and SOLD REALLY well, and gained TONS market share and buyer respect and appreciation, they chose to be greedy and try con buyers instead, by litterly offering buyers zero improvements in the "same tier" after 3 years.
Pathetic.
Anyone who trys to explain or defend this ****, is just a clueless ignorant, or a blatent paid shill!

What would be the oldest GPU you would upgrade from to a 7800 XT?

That Powercolor Hellhound cooling looks decent on the HUB review.
I completely agree, although I'm hearing other retailers do have the Starfield offer with these cards so it may just not be showing yet.

Where is the free Starfield AMD promised for ALL their cards in the RX7800XT reveal?
So the RRP is not £480(apart from one place),no Starfield,etc. So basically RTX4070 pricing and maybe no game either?
Not learnt anything from the RX7900XT nonsense.

They clearly don’t care about RT and tbh neither should you.

I think on GN video he said something like a 5700XT.
Why not ? can bring over people from Nvidia ? no matter how you see it, you shouldnt be expecting that uplift from card thats succeding the previous one , another point why the 7900xt should have been the 7800xt
Club386: Ray-tracing performance remains below Nvidia’s comparable cards. Assuming this continues with RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT, what tools does AMD have to combat this apparent weakness?
SH: I think we still have the lead in performance per dollar, yet we do take ray-tracing performance into consideration when doing our pricing calculations. Reviewers like yourself tell us we’re doing okay in pure frames per second but not so good in ray tracing, so we try to price that difference into our SEP, ensuring Radeon GPUs offer great value.
We just have to do better on future generations, making sure we have the right architecture for efficient ray tracing. Furthermore, we need to continue working with ISV partners for gamers to have the best experience.

One retailer is showing it now.

Well i got 4x AOC 144Hz 1080p displays, 3 for PC but fourth is used for PC/FireTV/Virgin 360 Mini Box using an HDMI switcher.. HDMI is good for power down as it doesnt do what DP does which is basically same as unplugging it from the mains. I wish DP didnt do that, its a PITA when you have apps that you want to stay in the same place every time you fire them up lol
Ironically, I like RT, only 1 game I play on PC that has Ray tracing and thats World of Warcraft.
FF14 and Destiny 2 dont have it
Msrp is available in the uk.

Look at my posts after that. I was expecting the reference one at that price,because it is more compact.
