AMD Radeon RX 8800 XT Reference Design Leaked?
These are possibly the first pictures of the reference-design AMD Radeon RX 8800 XT graphics card. The pics surfaced on Reddit by a user who claimed to have access to an investor presentation that features images of the card placed next to an AMD Ryzen 9 PIB retail box. The card's design looks quite similar to MSI's Ventus 3X—a silver baseplate frames inlets to a triple fan setup, which cools a heatsink underneath. This is a fairly large card, roughly the size of a reference RX 7900 XT. The dark background accent which the silver plate contrasts, features a front-facing illuminated Radeon logo. This card is designed to look better when installed in a vertical slot, than it is with a standard installation.
The Radeon RX 8800 XT is expected to be the fastest SKU available from the generation, as AMD has ceded the enthusiast segment to focus on high-volume performance and mainstream market segments. The RX 8800 XT is based on the "Navi 48" silicon, and is powered by the RDNA 4 graphics architecture. Besides incorporating many of the graphics stack enhancements RDNA 3.5 introduced over RDNA 3, RDNA 4 is expected to improve the SIMD IPC, and come with a highly specialized ray tracing hardware solution that reduces the performance cost of ray tracing. It is also expected to implement a newer foundry node.
Update 15:43 UTC: It's likely that this card is called "Radeon RX 9070 XT," read our newer report for more.

it's an air cooler..
Both nGreedia and AMD forgot, that there is no longer a lockdown that created scarcity nor are there miners gobbling them all up by the palit. Intel has done well so far, good showing team blue, always looking forward to what comes out of your camp, well, so far, as long as you keep up the good work, don't pull a team red/green or you too will have cards on shelves collecting dust.

btw how many slots is it? 2.5 to 3 slots?
I bought my Powercolor 7800XT Hellhound for it'S review quiet performance on several websites. The difference is very, very big. I paid extra premium for that.
-- As I still have 12 months warranty left, I'm most likely not allowed to improve the thermalpaste.
I hope the performance is similar, so the value of my existing card does not drop.
Why not Radeon AI 370 16K ?
I guess Nvidia is free to enable a class-action law-suit if AMD steals its product numbers.
Whats lacking is AI upscaling to compete with Nvidia, not hardware. It’s good to see some of that coming to fruition with PSSR.
Ok, to be fair, probably upper mid-range.
A friend bought (some years ago) a MSI Radeon gpu that was a lemon. Dude was so pissed that he sweared off buying anything from AMD again and instead got a Ngreedia one.
No the first or second time hearing people complaining about MSI radeons being trash.
The only mobo maker that appears to actually put R&D into Radeons would be AsRock due to the Taichi, OC, and Aqua edition cards
I would not classify those cards as high end. Performance wise is a nvidia 4090 far better. Even when you mention the xtx.
High end is expensive.
A certain price range most likely more cards are bought. I think one price range is around 600€ for middle class. For entry class it's around 200€. (they try to rise the entry class to 300€ of course)Sold after 3 months. That Z Trio Product line was in my point of view fresh on the market at the point of purchase.
well MSI motivated me to spend another 80€ surplus for a more expensive powercolor 7800XT hellhound.100% agree
So they can market it nicer. It' still 3 slots wide.
