I'm on the verge of getting a XTX to upgrade my 3080. I can't see anything from the new gen beating it on price to performance (sub-£800).
Am I completely nuts?
I'd say wait until the announcements, they're just a couple of weeks away.

I still find it really interesting that the rumour is that AMD are going to be focusing on that midrange market.AMD's highest end RDNA4 appears to be like a 7900 GRE with less memory and slightly better RT so getting a 7900XTX isn't something I'd classify as nuts. We likely won't have a successor to the 7900XTX from AMD until 2027.
Anything AMD does hurts AMD according to some random forum dude. To me it makes sense to focus on getting a well performing mid-range GPU to market even though the GPU would be of no use to me if the rumours are true. So the core idea I'm aboard with personally. If AMD can execute this idea fast enough and correct is a whole other thing that only time can tell. I'd give it a 50/50 and hope for the best.I still find it really interesting that the rumour is that AMD are going to be focusing on that midrange market.
I guess it makes a lot of sense for them when they see what Nvidia is offering at the 70Ti and above level - but surely long term it potentially hurts them if high end buyers essentially don’t see AMD as capable of offering competing cards at the top end?
The XTX (terrible naming convention aside) is a brilliant GPU.
Which is such a tiny tiny percentage of the overall market it barely registers LOLAt least amongst people on here.
