PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Pictured, Confirmed Based on "Navi 32"
PowerColor inadvertently released the first pictures of its AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Red Devil graphics card. These pictures confirm that the RX 7800 XT is based on a maxed out version of the "Navi 32" GPU, and not the compact "Navi 31" powering the limited edition RX 7900 GRE. The "Navi 32" is a chiplet-based GPU, just like the "Navi 31," albeit smaller. Its 5 nm GCD (graphics compute die) physically features 60 RDNA3 compute units, which work out to 3,840 stream processors, 120 AI accelerators, 60 Ray accelerators, 192 TMUs, and possibly 128 ROPs. This GCD is surrounded by four 6 nm MCDs (memory cache dies), which each has a 16 MB segment of the GPU's 64 MB Infinity Cache memory, and make up its 256-bit GDDR6 memory interface.
The specs sheet put out by PowerColor confirms that the RX 7800 XT maxes out the "Navi 32," enabling all 60 CUs, and the chip's full 256-bit memory interface, to drive 16 GB of memory. The RX 7800 XT uses 18 Gbps memory speed, and hence has 576 GB/s of memory bandwidth at its disposal. The PowerColor RX 7800 XT Red Devil has dual-BIOS, and assuming the "standard/silent" BIOS runs the card at AMD reference clock speeds, we're looking at Game clocks of 2210 MHz, and 2565 MHz boost. The Red Devil draws power from a dual 8-pin PCIe power connector set up (375 W max); the cooler is visibly smaller than the one on the company's RX 7900 series Red Devil cards. A 16+2 phase VRM powers the card. With pictures of the card out, we expect a global product launch within the next 30 days.

Divinity Original sin 3Baldur 3, you name it.None of the video cards today make sense to me.
Nvidia:
4900? $1600, please.
4080? 16Gb of RAM, less RAM than previous top of the line 3090 yet more expensive, already close to being maxed out on certain games in 4K
4070 Ti? 12Gb of RAM, already obsolete
4060 Ti? much slower yet 16 Gb of Ram (?!), do I even need to go there
Everything below doesn't make sense if you plan on keeping up good perf for a while
AMD:
Whatever version, real bad at RT, FSR 2 not on par, power consumption on idle.
Can we please move on to the next gen? Something 40% faster than previous gen for $500/$600 bucks, without over-heating or going 100 watts on idle, with a proper amount of VRAM for futureproofing, old school style? Much appreciated!
PS: and if the letter X could be banned from future names too... The XFX RTX 7900 XTX was the last straw.
7800 XT gives me the same vibes. It's utterly underqualified for 4K and is not ideal for 1440p144Hz. And most probably they will charge above $500 which is ridiculous. $500 for a mid-range card which is unable to RT. C'mon.
I do wonder if we’re in a spot where games are outpacing hardware. For example, the RX 560 was promoted as a 1080p gamer, so was the 5500XT, and the 6500XT. Seems we’re sliding up a tier to get “1080p gaming.” It takes an x7x0 series card to get something billed as a 1440p card.

If budget is an issue you can afford to buy a used GPU!
What was enough for ultimate 1080p:
2014: GTX 980 (probably 970, too) and R9 290X.
2015: GTX 980 and R9 390X.
2016: GTX 1070 and nada.
2017: GTX 1070 and nada.
2018: RTX 2070 and... Vega 64 lol.
2019: RTX 2070 Super and RX 5700 XT.
2020: RTX 3060 and RX 6600 XT.
2021: RTX 3060 and RX 6650 XT.
2022/23: RTX 4060 Ti (with asterisk) and RX 7700 series (yet to come).
As you can see, this generation is the first of such kind.
Sadly much like ADA this will slot in at the same price/performance level as the previous gen with new features and some small improvements across the board.
There is no reason to ask too much for so small GPU.

Must be no higher than 399$.
This is in fact the Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB replacement and successor.
But because that was launched at the peak of the mining craze, you should now see a decent launch price reduction back to more normal levels.

AMD today is even farther from realistic pricing than the nVidia is.
While the RX 7900 XTX 24GB is in a league of its own. :roll:If it is around the RX 6800 XT 16GB performance, then it is a 4K card.
I hope I'm wrong, I'm expecting just shy of 6800XT performance, and my own 6800XT is undervolted and downclocked to 2133MHz to run at 200W (reported for core only) so closer to 235W actual. That level of performance would be fine if it was priced at the $450+ and came with a 230W stock TDP before tuning. I'd like to think that such a TDP could be tuned down to 170W or so...
Kepler on Twitter: "Navi4 lineup will not have any high-end GPUs Think of it like RDNA1 or Polaris generation." / X
