The Radeon RX 7900 XT(X) Owners Thread.

I would be surprised if AMD do not attempt a 7950 update/refresh but its not going to be much better than the current ones so probably wont be as strong as the 4090 even if they did. Hopefully they are vested in a high tier model next gen.
 
Not sure. It depends if they have an improved fabrication process ready to use I'd expect.

Otherwise, a refresh might seem a bit pointless, other than to try to catch up with cards like the RTX 4070 Super and 4070 TI Super.

Unless they can match, or at least get close to, NVs other value adds - namely improving FSR and RT - then I’m not sure it’s worth doing. Given the release pricing of their current gen GPUs they would probably be too close to the 90 class cards (edit: in price i mean).
Once you’re in the market to spend north of a grand on a card, it’s probably not much more of a stretch to just get the 5090 (assuming the pricing stays roughly the same as the 4090).

If they can improve FSR and RT first and start taking more market share at the 4070(insert whatever suffix here) and 4080 level then we’ll likely see them try to compete with the 90 class. Fingers crossed.

AMD needs to scale up the compute units a lot to keep up with Nvidia I think.

So, they will need a much more power efficient design as well.

Oh well. The RX 7900 XT is supposedly roughly equivalent to the RTX 3090 TI, according to techpowerup:
www.techpowerup.com

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT Specs

AMD Navi 31, 2394 MHz, 5376 Cores, 336 TMUs, 192 ROPs, 20480 MB GDDR6, 2500 MHz, 320 bit

Not sure that's true (seems to have shifted a bit for some reason), but which one cost £2,000 /$2,000 new?

Yes this is why the rumours of AMD not bothering with a high end dGPU next gen sound wise as why bother investing all in when the competitor has all the cards? Its not great for the consumer if true as next gen will be the usual 20-30% uplift, but the pricing now is much worse than historically. They could be just playing us all just to panic people into buying this gen though so not worth worrying and take it as it comes.
 
It's probably a load of rubbish, they will flip flop 10 times before they settle on anything resembling the truth.

It's only because AMD hasn't confirmed their plans for RDNA4 yet, that you get these kind of rumours coming out.

Ray tracing is not as important as many people think. If they can double the number of CUs compared to consoles like the Series X (52 CUs), they will also get double the ray tracing performance (even before accounting for any other improvements with the architecture).

I think they will easily double the CU count with RDNA4 (vs consoles like the Series X), because the RX 7900 XTX has 96.

I never expected a MCM design (for RDNA3 either) anyway.

The rumour mill couldn't've been more wrong about that.

I think when they do eventually get around to it, maybe it would be best to have a single flagship design (launching later on) alongside traditional GPUs, and not invest everything into MCM.

People forget that they are mostly a CPU design company still.

That would be very expensive for AMD to do for the high end. I think they will continue with MCM has if cheaper to make than a very large die.

The fabrication machines also have a reticle limit. This is very much why an MCM approach is happening. As well as cost saving at the same time.
 
Kind of underwhelmed with mine, about the same as my 6800xt in Fallout76, in all honesty maybe even a little worse.....awfully coded game so probably not a great test.

I've not played many other games, I did a few timespy runs and it said the score was very good for my system, I guess my 5600 is getting punted next then eh!

I dint use DDU when installing, would that make much of a difference?
