Yep was saying that at the time. The 7800xt was really a 7700xt chip but even with the 7800xt name it was priced like a 7700xt. It was only named the 7800xt as AMD decided to name the real 7800xt the 7900xt to price up a very stupid mistake. They should have just followed the 6 series namning and pricing and they would have looked great even with $20 on top of each card.I agree with a lot of that but the RX 6700 XT was launched at $480, the RX 7800 XT was $20 more at $500, its 56% faster in raster and 64% faster in RT with 4GB more VRam, AV1 Encode / Decode and has hardware level AI.
Wrong naming, i agree but the amount of GPU you're getting comparatively for $20 more is frankly fantastic, stop hating on it, it makes no sense. Inflation taken in to account its actually cheaper, much cheaper.
