Good analysis, pitty AMD doesn't want to provide any details to validate their claims, the data from reviewers doesn't hold, AMD lied and Franky Azor is making a fool of himself on Twitter

no one should ever believe 1st party data. As for the rest it doesn't matter. If I was interested in buying a card right now I would be looking at decent 3rd party reviews and real world information. TBF I'm more interested in old cards - Got an HD 4650 and HD 4890 coming today. The 4890 cost me £2.

This is where I’m at. I’ve bought about 20 old GPU’s already this month haha. I have way more fun playing with old hardware. Haven’t turned my 6950XT pc on in about two months…!

I won a boxed 4770 for 99p the other day on eBay. Fair enough it wasn’t a high end card in its day but now I have a paid of boxed ones for less than a fiver!

Well its twitter, so you can.

Don't trust gobby accounts on twitter or, the vendors, let the OCUK forum GPU owners do the talking.

Nvidia have had so much bad PR this year, anything is gonna go during the AMD launch window. We even have posts saying that AMD shipped damaged silicon.
 
To me all that matters is how it does against the previous gen, anything above a >= 40% at the same price point and power is good, it also has 8GB extra VRAM. They should just say check the review and make you own minds up and avoid any more twitter as the hole will just get deeper.

both are bad , decent cards at terrible prices you think AMD would have called these 7900xtx if nvidia didnt inflate the 4080 price soo much , because AMD slightly lowered the price and calling it 7900xtx doesnt fool me . both of them are taking us for a ride

I wonder if AMD would have delayed the cards if Nvidia had kept sensible pricing.

If nvidia had launched the 4080 for $700 it makes you wonder where AMD would have went with these.

I reckon $600- $650 and called 7800xt, but I wouldn't have expected it to be that low I would have accepted around $750

The AMD cards seem to have sold out maybe it's early fomo and things will settle but at this rate I probably just start buying used last generation cards looking forward
