Hey, when did the thread title change? Instead of "..." it used to say March (and I don't think it had NV in it either).

Competitor rules
Please remember that any mention of competitors, hinting at competitors or offering to provide details of competitors will result in an account suspension. The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK.
It looks like the 'real' /affordable RDNA3 + next gen NV desktop launch won't launch until September. Thoughts?

I changed it to ... because it could still be months away, before the remaining lineup is announced. Nvidia was in the title from the start though.
I didn't expect there to be such a long wait for Navi32 (I could change it to Q3 for Navi 32 GPUs). But at least they've announced some Navi33 GPUs, as unexciting as they no doubt will be.
tbf, that VRAM thread (started in 2021) needed to die, the problem I had was related to a faulty SSD, and it took me a while to identify what the problem was.
By 2023, it had become pretty clear that 8GB wasn't gonna be good enough to play above 1080p in some games, anyway.

Maybe price cuts coming on high end GPUs?

A man can dream.
I'm getting impatient, if I could get a 7900XT for £650 I'd go for it.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 and Radeon RX 7900 XT are now at least 20% cheaper in China - VideoCardz.com
NVIDIA RTX 4080 and AMD RX 7900 XT price slash for Chinese gamers China leads the way with high-end GPU price cuts. Is this a sign of imminent price cuts for other regions? Possibly, as the Chinese PC market is always at the forefront when it comes to lowering prices. Many of us recall that […]

Makes you wonder if these companies are just priced stuff better at launch,they might have gotten more sales and more revenue.

Haven't we already seen that reflected here too?
The 7900xt RRP is $899 which is just under £900 here with VAT.
They've dropped to £750.
They may drop a bit more maybe, but likely not that much more until new cards or refreshes come out.

Personally I'm waiting to see if there will be a 7800XT and if it's better than the 6950xt at a similar price.
If by any chance the 4060ti 16GB ends better and at a similar price I'm also open to try Nvidia after 20 years, I will buy within a month.

Can't see it myself, unless it's a respin and clocked to the Moon!
I doubt it will be better than the 6950XT. That would make it almost 7900xt performance.
Probably more likely 6900xt or at most between 6900xt and 6950xt.

Yeah the 7900XT has what, 1500 extra shaders and more mem bandwidth? Am thinking 6900XT-level and they'll lean heavily on FSR3 to show improvements (they HAVE to release this at the same time, prob why no solid rumour of it being launched at Computex only the 7600). Guessing the original plan was to release it at the end of this month but FSR3 delays have put paid to that...

In other news, someone tried to see what a fully unlocked RDNA3 card can do: https://www.pcgamer.com/fully-unlocked-rx-7900-xtx-very-nearly-matches-rtx-4090-performance/
It looks like an excellent choice for heating in winter!

Rumoured 7950XTX might be tasty if it's real, bug-fixed performance with a clock bump (and faster vRam ofc) might give it 20/25%+ over the current XTX. IF it's real ofc.
I'd temper my expectations. I seriously doubt we'll see over 10% improvement if that...
does it also come with a 20-25% price increase?

Yeh. 25% seems rather optimistic. That would make it faster than the 4090. The link above showed that it pulled 700 watts to get near the 4090...
I would be shocked if AMD can pull that sort of performance per watt increase (ie somehow getting that down to ~450w) until their next gen/RDNA 4.

I'm thinking £700 for the 7900 XT and £600 (maybe a bit less) for the 7800 (60 CUs, same as the RX 6800).
I'm not sure there will be a 7800 XT, at least, not for a while.

Interesting. Makes you wonder what could be achieved on a TSMC 3nm fab process (which will be used for Zen 5 CPUs), I think they will improve power usage significantly, especially compared to RDNA2.
But at the moment, these high clocks don't seem to be worth the high cost, there seems to be a massive increase in power usage, presumably the voltage has to be cranked up a lot.
The other issue AMD has, is the 4090 isn't even the fastest GPU possible on AD102, with the 4090 TI still to come.

In this case they decided they were competing one tier below rather than risking to pull a new Vega. Smart choice, until they renamed the 7800XT as 7900XT...
