I miss my vega cards. The 56 in particular was so fun to play around with. At one point I had it performing better than my stock 64.C’mon AMD….my vega64 needs to retire (been saying that for a while now)

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 changed when they actually launched it in the west with a higher power profile, that was all except Hardware Unboxed who tried to pretend the China one they pulled out of a prebuild was the same as the west version retail one so they could call it crap, even after AMD told them they are not the same GPU and all other reviewers with different findings were positive about it HUB still insisted they are the same. what's worse is AMD sent them a western retail version which they ignored.

Both..
I wasn't aware of that, HWUB is usually my immediate go too as well.
I know you bought one so you would think that but the reality is neither feature on the steam hardware survey while the direct competition the 4070/4070S have a combined 4% and AMDs market share fell by nearly 50% over the past 2 years so I’d say no they weren’t price well at launch.
The price they’re at now should have been the launch price, it’s no good cutting the price once everyone has already bought Nvidia.
HUB have seemingly taken quite an anti RT stance recently. Maybe they like being a bit edgelordy (it’s a word despite what my autocorrect thinks).

I'm normally of the mind, if i don't like a particular reviewer I'm happy to just completely ignore them. Hub frustrates me though. I think the majority of the testing they do is really good. Lots and lots of good data. But I often find myself disagreeing with their, specifically Steve's conclusions. Also he really doesn't like admitting to ever being wrong and will just keep banging the same drum over and over. So end up kind of skipping through and finding the useful stuff and not listening to much of the rest.

AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Review - The Biggest Big Navi
AMD's Radeon RX 6900 XT offers convincing 4K gaming performance, yet stays below 300 W. Thanks to this impressive efficiency, the card is almost whisper-quiet, quieter than any RTX 3090 we've ever tested. In our review, we not only benchmark the RX 6900 XT on Intel, but also on Zen 3, with fast...www.techpowerup.com
AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Review
With the Radeon RX 7800 XT, AMD is going after the GeForce RTX 4070. Our review confirms that AMD has achieved performance parity in rasterization and is pretty close in ray tracing, at a much better price point, and they are giving you 16 GB VRAM, instead of just 12 GB.
Nice Maths. +1.3%?
The average clock speed observed there also hides the fact the 6900 XT is power limited.
The 7800 XT is 263W and the 6900 XT is 300W. +14% on power, so it can't actually exploit the 33% more CUs it has.
Once you let it stretch its legs by upping the power limit to 335W you get it performing 15% better. Again everything is explained by specs.
The RDNA2 to RDNA3 IPC increase is single digit percentage at best. It is why the 7800XT is identical to the 300W 6800 XT.

I have my 6900xt underwater.
I use it with clocks 2750mhz/2150 memory.
Power limit+15% and voltage on core 1130mv.
With OC like that this card os probably faster than 7900gre and closer to stock 7900xt?

Similar setting here with a 6950xt. Mine performs right between a 7900 GRE and a 7900 XT.
I wanna hope 9070xt overclocks like a devil with good power headroom, but likely grasping at straws. It's going to be a 4070 ti for £550.
I don't see it as an anti rt stance. They are pointing out some flaws and issues. You can point out flaws and still like a feature, doesn't make you anti rt. I actually find it refreshing, as RT does have problems to overcome but these opinions get drowned out behind all the RT hype. Considering a good chunk of the gpu price is down to RT, for the performance cost it hasn't been as game changing as many make it out to be.

Second hand RX 7900xtx for 550-600£ wil be more appyling to me,which I could have two months ago for that price...
With 360hz monitor I won't be using RT anyway.
I have my sons 7900 XT undervolted to 975mV and set to -10% power limit. This gives it better than stock performance at 287W (down from 320).
Logically the RX 9070 can’t be over $550 IMHO. The GRE is $550 and the 7800 XT is $480. They can’t even be that stupid to think people will pay the same price/perf if they try bumping the price for a 20% - 30% performance uplift.
Though I expect the performance to be decent but AMD will totally fail on price and think $600 - $650. The morons.

There hasn't been any performance to see yet. Where are you getting your info from?
Plus, it won't make much difference anyway even if they were anti rt. People used to make videos showing issues of TAA and hoping it would go away - fast forward, every game now uses TAA despite its problems and RT will be the same, developers always opt for the easy route

Haha TAA, when a 4k game looks like 1440p from the "old" days.
