AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX to Lead the RDNA3 Pack?

[TheEndIsNear]

I just don't like when they release it after the other card. I want the fastest now! Lol

The 24gb will cost two kidneys while 20gb will cost one.

Yeah, if this uses 400 watts, then I'll be more interested in the 7700 and 7600. I'd like to replace my Polaris, but the last AMD card in the same price region was actually worse than the good old RX480.

As silly as it is, I remember when XTX was a statement. Anyone who has been around the block remembers the X1950 XTX

I still have the AGP X1950 Pro. Since it was an AGP edition, it did not have PCIE power inputs, instead it had TWO molex inputs for power. And it was rather finicky about which PSU cables I connected to it, otherwise it randomly crashed - most likely different cables were attached to different power supply rails.

I'm struggling to understand the purpose of power-hungry GDDR6X when there are now 20Gbps GDDR6 chips.

It's a twist on modern consumerism, I guess. Everything with an X in its name is immediately better (even if it's really not).

You need one kidney to live.

He didn't mention they were his kidneys.

Bundle deal = 7900XTX 24GB + Dialysis

GPU-L claims this beast will have 576 GP/s and 2304 GT/s vs the 4090's 440ish/1250ish. If the drivers are sound, we might have a good game here!

Except pure brute force, will AMD innovate this time with a new feature set, something like DirectX 13, unlimited detail technology, smart AI to generate frames with lowest possible load on the shaders, break-through ray-tracing performance, anything new and meaningful besides the pure production methods of splitting everything to small chiplets?

At some point it might be more sound to plug the GPU directly onto the house/wall power plug.

Very good idea. Let's hope the big heads listen to such ideas because the direction we are heading now is quite hot and unpleasant. After the GPUs, it might be that CPUs also need independent power delivery from the main PSU circuits.

Hah, maybe they'll all just be eGPU assemblies with their own PSU internally. Then you just connect it to your PC with USB-C 4.20 Gen69x123 and there you go.

Don't tempt me

Jayz2cents and others have said with confidence that RDNA3 will be using the new power connector that 4090 uses, and that image is using two older style power connectors (if my zoom was correct).

Jayz2Cents? That guy's known as a joke among audiences and his statements should never be taken seriously... All rumours suggested AMD to max out within 450W TDP especially after the recent NV power cable disaster.

3dfx salutes you.

What connectors would you like?

Is USB Type-C better than DisplayPort?
Which DP version - 2.1?

Great.
I was thinking about another solution. To attach the motherboards to the graphics cards, not the other way round as today. And to connect the main power cable directly from the PSU to the graphics card, while the secondary connector type hybrid 12+4-pin 12VHPWR can be connected to the motherboard instead

3 8-pins connecters should get the job done assuming they don't go crazy with wattages. I'm keeping an eye on the flagship 7950 XTX/7970 XTX/Radeon Pro.
32/48GB VRAM, MCM, PCIe 5.0 x16, DP 2.1, HDMI 2.1a would be a proper upgrade from 3090.

3 x 150 from cables + 75 from the slot is 525 watts, so I guess plenty for Radeon, even for the most aggressively overclocked versions.

I am very interested in seeing what the AIBs do with the number of 8 pins as my current Power Color Red Devil 6900XT uses 3 x 8 pin... Could an AIO version use 4 x 8p?
