These prices suggest RTX 5080 performance level. Let's wait and see.
If the performance is around RX 7900 GRE, then these are scalper prices.
Sometimes there are scalper prices. :kookoo:
8 GB less VRAM, same power consumption, same price. This is an obvious downgrade.
This is a mid-range card in an enthusiast-level retail packaging, with a steep enthusiast-level pricing, enthusiast-level power consumption, but mediocre features and mediocre performance.
It's not worth it.
The market will never accept this price.
AMD is not in a position to dictate so high prices - it is an underdog with declining market share - in the notebook section it is almost non-existent.
The cards with only 16 GB will be DOA.
The end of the Radeon division is just around the corner.
I'm also talking about the MSRP, which was influenced by covid and mining-driven demand.
You think AMD didn't take into account these important market factors? I don't think so!
There are two cards between the RX 6700 XT and RX 6800 XT - namely RX 6750 XT and RX 6800.
Why do you skip them ?
Neither. RX 6700 XT didn't get a proper pricing, because of mining craze and covid. Its real pricing was 100$ less, or $379.
RX 7800 XT is a wrong name for something which should have been named RX 7750 XTX or RX 7800.
Back in 2008, 2009 the high-end Radeon HD 4800 series was below $200.
$400 is 100% inflation. How much inflation do you want? 1000%?
This is a joke? Right?
You research the AMD DDR5 support in 2024. I will give you a hint:
That's the goal. AMD needs to become competitive. Innovation and better products are the way to achieve this.
If you go for comparisons, RTX 5090 is the "ferrari", this here is like lower-end Skoda.
AMD is scalping hard, inflation also strikes badly.
This GPU should cost not more than 400$. Period.
Should be 7500/8000 MT/s as lowest.
Won't work. You need 8 or 16 CUs with the new architecture post-RDNA (a.k.a. "RDNA 5"). And a new VCN/DCN with 16K@120Hz support.
It also means high electricity bills, expensive to own, and terrible power efficiency.
It is an absurd. They have the best interest to offer a 250-watt card, no matter the performance deficit, if it be 1 percent, or 2 percent. :kookoo:
The exhaust openings are too far away from the chip.
The openings should be cut in the PCB right next to the GPU but on the left side, so the direct aiflow will hit the GPU and cool accordingly.
Of course, with such a design, the PCB must be longer and the components (power delivery circuitry...
The general Radeon performance for compute is extremely poor.
This is not the card for you, then. Buy the RX 7900 XTX instead!
Not enough AMD software support, either.
I am not sure that two 8-pin connectors won't be sufficient to withstand up to 1000W power draw?
Are there tests which actually have shown that there was a need for a new connector?
If so, there are two options:
1. Set an upper TDP limit of 250W - I'm looking at you greedy black leather :D
2...
