*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

[Dicehunter]

Why do you say Navi 48 would top out at 7800xt levels?

Apparently AMD are only focusing on low and mid tier for the 8000 series and supposedly the performance will be around 7800XT levels at the top end of the stack but a fair bit cheaper, Lower power consumption etc... which isn't a bad thing IMO.

It'll basically be the 5700XT all over again in terms of performance with the proper big boy big Navi only coming the gen after.

Mid tier for the next generation, the thinking is:

7900 XT > 8800 XT
7800 XT > 8700 XT

Mid tier for the next generation, the thinking is:

7900 XT > 8800 XT
7800 XT > 8700 XT

Pretty underwhelming really! Wasn’t the 6700xt 25% faster than the 5700xt. This means the 7900xtx should be 8800xt and and 7900 GRE should be 8700xt BUT these companies are loving it right now and will do as they please for profit.

Depends on price.

At 1440P the 7900 XT is 28% faster than the 7800 XT and 17% faster than the 7900 GRE

If it lands at £500 with 2X the RT throughput i think it will be a hit.

Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 GRE Pulse Review

The Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 GRE Pulse emerges as the best GRE model released today, offering exceptional value at AMD's MSRP of $550. Outperforming the RX 4070 Super in raster, it operates whisper-quiet, catering to gamers and enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance without exceeding their budget.

Just a theory but I'm guessing AMD are using RDNA4 as a testing bed for their new RT features/tech, If they prove successful then they will do a proper successor to the 7900XTX in the form of a full fat 9900XTX monster with RDNA5.

So IF the info is correct so far we'll be looking at 7800XT performance levels at the most at around £400'ish or potentially lower.

I'd personally expect 7800XT/7900GRE levels and if it's any more then it'll be a pleasant surprise

Current rumours put RDNA4 at a slight improvement over 3 with some bugfixes etc. Additional features like hardware upscale notwithstanding.
