Would be interesting how much premium PowerColor will be charging for their Red Devil 7800.

Am I reading the recommended PSU wattage right? It's the same as the stock 7900 xtx according to AMD's site.

The 7700 XT Fighter looks WAY better than my 6700 XT Fighter. I had to get an aftermarket cooler since it just sucked in both temps and noise.

AIBs overshooting their recommendations has been a thing as long as I can remember. They're practically for the crappiest PSUs on the market.

Can you show us a "crappiest" 800-watt power supply? Just to clarify what you are talking about.

Else, simply the AIBs are misleading the customers, and instead of stating 500-watt Bronze-certified PSU is sufficient, they make things up out of their dirty fingers

Or they know about terrible power spikes, in which case the power supply requirements are truthful, and you will indeed need that 800-watt Platinum PSU :D

Something like this for example.

I just want to be able to run a tipple monitor setup without an outrages power draw from the card,...... an RX 7800 XT might be a good way to go,.....

Navi 3x failed regarding the power consumption. If you want very low power consumption for such a task, simply go for the 115-watt RTX 4060.

There's only one Watt in it, and AMD's control panel in the drivers runs absolute circles around Nvidia's multi-display offering.

Sure, if you need CUDA, or performance/Watt at full load, then a 4060 makes some sense, but it's not exactly the sort of powerhouse you'd buy for triple-monitor gaming...

They probably overclocked their cards so hard they have insane 20ms spikes so they decided to have some insurance.
Octaveanjust gets me thinking about 7800 and 7700 XT cards
Don't think about the latter. It's complete bollocks for its price. 7800 XT, though, is at least trying to be in touch with reality.

OctaveanYeah, I hear you, but RTX 4060,……ewwwww

Maybe a 4070 or 4070 Ti but that just gets me thinking about 7800 and 7700 XT cards
The problem with the 4060 is that it's too slow to justify the Nvidia tax.

Arguing that it has better raytracing and Frame-gen is pointless when no cards in this price bracket can handle the heavier raytraced games where Nvidia pulls ahead of AMD.
Arguing that it has frame-gen is pointless when you need a minimum 60+ framerate to make the input lag of frame-gen worth it.

I've owned 2060, 2060S, 2070S, 3060, 3060Ti, 3070 - and all of them were borderline for raytracing. You could enable it but the performance hit was big enough that it was academic, to see how much better it looked (or didn't look). The actual framerate impact was enough on those cards that if a game was heavy on RT it wasn't worth enabling it on those models. I don't have a vanilla 4060 yet, but the 4060 Ti isn't exactly what I call comfortable for heavier titles like CP2077. The Techpowerup review of the 4060 has absolutely loads of sub-60fps numbers in the raytracing section at just 1080p. That's too slow to enable frame-gen and DLSS looks like ass when you're at low resolutions so using DLSS as a crutch falls down when you're only rendering internally at 1114 x 626! So yes, technically the 4060 has superior raytracing and features than the Ampere/AMD competition - but it's not useful in the real world.

The 4060's only real selling point is low power draw (and an AV1 encoder when comparing to last-gen cards, I guess).

The 4060 is too expensive at $299 especially now that the 7600 can be found for $250. The power differences between the two, according to TPU's reviews are:
  1. 8 W in favour of the 7600 at idle for a single monitor (1440p at 60 Hz)
  2. 2 W in favour of the 4060 at idle for two monitors (1440p and 4K at 60, both at 60 Hz)
  3. 12 W in favour of the 4060 for video playback (4K 30 fps H.264)
  4. 21 W in favour of the 4060 in demanding gaming scenarios (Cyberpunk at 4K)
  5. 2 W in favour of the 4060 for gaming with a frame cap (CyberPunk at 60 fps and 1080p)

If you're in the US, Microcenter has the RX 7600 for $229. That's seventy bucks less than a 4060 AND you get a free copy of Starfield worth* another seventy bucks.

For high-load gaming, the 4060 is indeed more efficient, but for this particular discussion for @Octavean, I'm not sure that's too relevant.

* - Hard to know what it's actually worth until reviews happen
