AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Drops to $799, Pressure on RTX 4070 Ti
Graphics card prices on a much-needed downward spiral, and this doesn't spare even the enthusiast class of graphics cards. The AMD flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX is available for as low as $799 with retailer promotions. Specifically, an ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming graphics card is listed on Newegg for $899, with a coupon shaving off a further $100. That's a 30% departure from the $999 MSRP of AMD for the RX 7900 XTX.
At $799, the RX 7900 XTX applies pressure on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, as the RX 7900 XTX can now be had at its MSRP. The RX 7900 XTX is on average 31% faster than the RTX 4070 Ti at 4K Ultra HD in our testing (the intended use-case of the RX 7900 XTX), and about 21% faster than the RTX 4070 Ti at 1440p (intended use-case of the RTX 4070 Ti). The RTX 4070 Ti is about 4% to 9% faster at real-time ray tracing.

Also I don't need to own the hardware to make a point. IMO a review from the biggest German hardware site who got professional hardware for power consumption measurements is more trustworthy than a random on a forum who uses the AMD Adrenalin software for it's power improvement claims, lol.
"Update 10.07.2023: ComputerBase measured Adrenalin 23.7.1 on a Radeon RX 7900 XTX and did not notice any changes in power consumption behavior on the Windows desktop at 144 Hz in Ultra HD. With the new driver, the graphics card needs just as much energy in every application scenario as with older drivers." (Source)
You need to try harder because you are failing at this.Its because i'm on a single display I use to do dual monitors but gave them up for a single 34' ultrawide. There is still work to be done for multimonitor setups.
What do your numbers look like when you unplug the 4k60 screen and just leave the ultrawide in?
I guess you're the one who lost the plot here. Did you even read my posts or are you just in "troll mode" atm?
I posted a screenshot of my Idle power consumption improvement, I can also post power consumption in games but that will clearly be wasted on you and your bias. You can ask wizzard to retest with the new driver. But I don't need wait for that since I can test it myself because I own the hardware!
You will get no more replies from me and can continue trolling.
P.S.: according to AMD's release notes AMD considers the issue as "fixed". So there won't be any power consumption improvements comming anymore for the 7000 Series.

Wouldn't be surprised if their "fix" was to just change the power consumption numbers in the Adrenalin software for the gullible folks out there, lol.
For tech enthusiasts it's always about messing around with new hardware if my 4090 dies tomorrow and gigabyte won't fix/replace it maybe I'll pick up a 7900XTX life goes on. In about 2 years I'll pick up whatever is the fastest gpu I can afford regardless of what happens.
Ultimately, I went with the white ROG Strix 4080. I just couldn't resist when I saw it, soooo pretty :respect:
Everyone has their reason but until RT performance and FSR is much much better on AMD gpu for better or worse I'm stuck with over priced Nvidia. Although even I'll admit at 800 usd the 7900XTX on Newegg would be pretty damn enticing if I couldn't spend more than a Benjamin.
