AMD Radeon RX 7900 series Now Starts at $719 with Brand-specific Discounts
AMD Radeon RX 7900 series enthusiast-segment graphics cards now start at a street price of $719. A PowerColor Radeon RX 7900 XT Hellhound custom-design graphics card is listed on Newegg for $749, with a coupon code that shaves a further $30 off, bringing it down to this new low price. At this price, the RX 7900 XT offers significantly higher performance per Dollar than the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which starts at $799, and is tested to offer around 5% lower performance than the RX 7900 XT.
Meanwhile, prices of AMD's flagship graphics card, the RX 7900 XTX, has been on a downward slope, too, with a PowerColor RX 7900 XTX Red Devil premium custom-design card being listed for as low as $889 with a coupon discount. This would space the RX 7900 XTX at least $200 apart from the cheapest GeForce RTX 4080, which is starting at $1,089.

I bought a 7900XTX in August, if I wanted to go team green I would've got a 4070Ti for the same price, so at this point there's no comparison.
The question is if it sold well at the original MSRP. That I am pretty skeptic of.
How much did you pay for your $899 7900XT when it was on sale?People will usually only buy things when they're at the right price, and $899 was not the right price.I don't have that many sources for sales data - Mindfactory and Cowcotland published sales data, HUB monthly updates, MLID comments on the state of the GPU market, forum chat from OCUK sales staff.
Edit - Never mind, I looked it up; Prime Day sale price was $735, which is a fair-to-good price for the 7900XT Merc, IMO.
If they drop to 900 we're talking, but I reckon we can wait a bit... People need to start realizing that every blurb out of a company on whatever medium IS marketing. The expectation is the marketing. If everyone buys it, why wouldn't you?
If you want to buy import merch in euro, one of the best moments is in August each year, it's when the exchange rate is most favourable. If you use keepa for amazon, you quickly see the trend.
