OcUK evening RX7900GRE review thread

Are you not tempted by the GRE? Better RT is making me a little envious. Don’t know if I should feel this way after my complete satisfaction with the 7800XT and how I managed to wring another 12% performance from overclocking it (matching a GRE).

There is always a better GPU, had i known it was coming i might have wated, as it is i'm very happy with my Sapphire RX 7800 XT Pulse, great card, great GPU, no point in living regret just because something newer and better came along, i'm just going to enjoy what i have as its too late now :)

I think I’ll adopt your approach. C’est la vie!
 
Im on the fence.. if I was spending £550 I think I’d go for the 4070 Super as the performance is pretty much the same but Nvidia does have the better package. Glad I bought the 6950 XT for £425 from the MM though. Seems they’re on par. The 7800 Xt needs a price drop though… there’s only 50 or so quid in it which is a Nandos meal out these days and I’d definitely be spending the extra..

Making me feel real good about my purchase of a 7800xt mba for £499 back in October. :(

Edit: I needed a gpu back in October and the 7800xt back then made sense and had great price to performance that’s the same today but I couldn’t have waited for the GRE (no warning it was going to be re-released 4 months later).

C’est la Vie. C’est la Vie. Enjoy life.

if you want to support a company that cartel the gpu market like nvidia does that is an issue for sure.
Here the 7900gre is cheaper than the nvidia cards and a better value and drivers for a great gaming experience
buddy got one he is happy

How long was it rumoured that the GRE was going to be released more widely? If so I didn’t hear of it till about a month ago.

if you want a fast card with all the memory you'll need for the foreseeable future, AMD is delivering what Nvidia does not - and it's doing it for less money. It's that simple.

Which is why for me even the 7800 XT was a no brainer, without a personal Nvidia bias the 7900 GRE is certainly that.

Don't you just love selective quoting :cry:

In effect, AMD is delivering excellent value for users who still aren't fully buying into the ray tracing dream, or aren't enamoured with Nvidia's ever-growing feature set. Clearly, we believe that those features have a great deal of value, but the point is that if you disagree and if you want a fast card with all the memory you'll need for the foreseeable future, AMD is delivering what Nvidia does not - and it's doing it for less money. It's that simple.

i.e. as HUB have said, first go through the checklist to confirm what you "won't use" or you don't value said features/strengths then amd become an option.
 
The fact is with Nvidia you actually need to use upscaling tech like DLSS to get the same price to performance ratio that you get with AMD.

We have now got to the point where some people apply the mental gymnastics to apply value to something you need and can't always get as a value proposition to Nvidia, when you don't even need it for AMD because the native performance is fast enough.

Yes AMD is just destroying the competing nvidia gpu at "native" isn't it..... Where nvidia struggles, so will the competing amd gpu (unless you are gaming in some vram demanding title like skyrim with full 4k textures for multiple things at like 4k, vice versa for amd with RT intense games), so you either sacrifce similar settings on both gpus or you use upscaling, except one will provide a much better experience if you use upscaling.

The fact is, with dlss, you can use a lower preset than the best quality preset of fsr and still get significantly better IQ than FSR UQ/Q whilst also getting significantly better performance, this is the big problem with FSR right now.

And we're not even factoring in the huge pros DLDSR and now RTX hdr provide.....

Given the street price, the 4070 Super is just a better buy.

No it's not. £150 more, nothing in peformance and 12GB of VRAM...

Another AMD win, they've won the entire gen for the entire stack, with the exception of the 4090 which might set on fire...

:cry:
