Any news on 7800 xt?

[ICDP]

Sadly doesn't translate to games according to GURU 3D. It's 3Dmark OC results.

On my 7900 XT the 10% OC translates to about 10% in games as well. 55 FPS stock, 60 FPS OC with Starfield at 4K Ultra and no upscaling. It's going to depend on the silicone lottery but 20% would be very much pie in the sky levels. 10% is more likely.

Please try and remember we are on day 0 drivers as well.

AMD have had these sat in a warehouse for 6months while they sold 6000 series. If they haven't sorted the drivers, that's entirely on them.

I think drivers will make a difference. As we know with AMD, they almost always do.

Looking at HWUB review today the 6800XT beat the 3080 in pretty much everything. Oddly they left out the 3080 in a few though, and did not include the 6950XT in every bench either. Shame, I guess AMD maybe asked them to do that? or was that the GN review? very hectic day here.

Pre ordered the Sapphire Nitro coming from a 970. Am i being stupid or has anyone mentioned when OCUK will actually be shipping?

Being slightly stupid in the sense that it's £32 cheaper elsewhere with delivery tomorrow

How do you know? got insider info have you?

In case you were not aware EVERY AMD GPU as far back as I can remember has gotten way better over time. Hence where the term "fine wine" comes from.

Gibbo said earlier in the thread that OCuk's pricing will lower in about a week's time. That only matters if you purchased from here. If bought elsewhere for cheaper then that doesn't apply to you.

Any thoughts on whether I'll get away with a 650w psu for the 7800xt..? This is upgrading from a 1070.

3700x , 2 X m2 drives, 16Gb mem

Nope, AMD said themselves in interviews around Gamescom they have had these ready to go for 5 months but needed to clear inventory of the six series.

What you mean by 'fine wine' is AMD doesn't have the resources to sort out drivers for launch but eventually they get around to fixing it.

I'd rather have performance now, fine wine is for its next owner

we must be watching the wrong review again
6800xt / 3080 look pretty even Raster performance

It should be fine. The 7800 XT has a TDP of 263w, I think? That leaves plenty for the rest of the system plus headroom.

As long as it's a decent brand PSU you're good.

Likely 300-350W consumption under full load.

I'd say you will be fine. A 7800xt at full load will only pull about 100w more than a 1070.

So that must also go for nvidia as their improve over time as well....

Yeah, I hear you on the don't have the resources. However, free performance is free, so I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers.

As long as it changes the sheets after, I wouldn't either.

OK so look, here is another way to look at it.

The GTX 970 and Maxwell was hailed by many as Nvidia's best generation ever with regards to price per performance. The 970 launched in 2014 for £330.

The 7700XT costs £429 today, yet still they whine.

Better not look at ray tracing comparisons....

 

[holbob]

I don't think AMD have a comparable model in this line up to a 970 (I had a 970 - cost me £270 btw).

A much better comparision would be 7900xt vs 980.

haha I was being kind , I dont understand the statement when its clear from many many example since launch they are similar in raster

No it wouldn't. You forget, above the 980 was the 980ti and Titan.

These cards are equivalent to the 970 and 980, only the performance uplift on the 7800XT is much higher from the 7700XT than it was from the 970 to 980.
