AMD Plans Aggressive Price Competition with Radeon RX 9000 Series

[AusWolf]

I already covered this noise earlier. The market went KERCHUNK and AMD stopped production on enthusiast 7000 series cards way earlier than expected.

What enthusiast cards? As far as I know, only the 7800 XT is going out of production.

By the time 9000 series finally drops, that's all that's going to be available along with maybe some 5000/6000 series stragglers and the usual 580 CN choppers.
AMD is contributing to the market problem. Unlike some of you I'm not afraid to call this out.

What else do you want? Navi 44 is still in development, and the market has proven that people want Nvidia in the enthusiast segment time and time again.

The 7900* finally started to disappear with massive price hikes mitigating a completely sold out situation.
The 7800 series got cut way earlier and the price hikes caught up with the 7900 stuff way sooner than expected.
This was planned for late Q3 of this year but the rug got pulled in early January. Figure it out.

Do you expect anyone to buy a 7900 series card if you can get 5-10% worse performance for $599?

Depends on the kind of extra resolution needed. I'm a guy that needs shitloads of FP64, which means 7900 series was probably my card.
I was pulling the trigger on that at $768 so if there were a matching 9000 card with 20GB I wouldn't give a damn about spending $600.
Can't do that anymore and the 9000 series is already a few encroachments with no news on features. I can expect great gaming performance, sure.
Am I going to have less jitter, better calculation on shaders, lightmaps, vertices, physics, 0.1% lows and so on? Your guess is as good as mine.
I don't buy these cards purely for gaming. I buy them for their raster capabilities and creator features. I get them because they're all-in-one.

Ah, so it's a Canadian retailer! That explains why supposedly MSRP cards are 10-20% more expensive than MSRP.
