AMD to Skip a Radeon RX 7700 Series Launch For Now, Prioritize RX 7600 Series, Computex Unveiling Expected

[ZoneDymo]

There are so many different user. Many of us do not care anything that is above ~75W - ~150W TDP VGA. Personally I am waiting for this level RX 7600.

I more mean it as in, its going to be such a mediocre card and if you want one of those...they are available... A750, RX6600, RTX3050, this RX7600 is not going to be significantly better then those at all nor significantly cheaper....at all, so just get one of those.

Does that apply to CPUs as well with amd having the majority of DIY builders? Or they become smart then?

He was just saying that it's not an argument on what to buy, not only on pc but on everything you can use your money on.

Wait wait, the 7800 should be the one at $500. When the 6700 xt came at $480 that was a semi ripoff. With the 4070 at $600 i don't see the 7800 xt costing anymore than that, and the 7800 at $520, next the 7700 xt at $420.

There will probably be no 7800. Navi 31 took off one MCD and shut off 1/6th of its GCD for the 7900 xt. The 7800 xt will be about shutting off another 1/6th and one MCD, making it a 16Go card with 2/3rds of an XTX's power. I don't see them shutting down yet another to make a 7800, that would be just too weak. Maybe at best they'll throw in a bunch of defective chips with 16Go?

Also I'm having a hard time with this stupid taxless american pricing. I'm Euro, for us the price is the price you pay, not the price then taxes. When I say $450/500, I mean final price.
I can currently find a 6700 xt for between 400€ and 500€. I'm expecting a 7700xt to start around maybe 500€, but AMD has this retarded policy of overpricing then immediately lowering the price without telling anyone, so probably it'll be 550€ and drop in 3 months. Then it'll range, depending on models, between 400€ and 500€, whatever that translates to taxless american prices. We usually just pay 20% taxes, so I guess between 350 and 400.

If AMD can release a decent $400 card with 16Go of VRAM, even if it's only mildly powerful, I think it'll redo the exact same play as the 6700 xt, but with more headroom in power, and enough headroom in VRAM to last the entire PS5 era. That's the product I want to see them put out. It'd be an amazing budget buy for 1440p users, which are still plenty. It would basically be a kind of 3080 with 16Go of VRAM, AV1, mild RT, and have enough of everything to be the answer to basically all budget buyers.

I bought 4K (kind of regret it when I see what kind of card I'm forced to buy), but 1440p buyers are absolutely everywhere with cost-effective builds, and will remain so for a few years yet. For this large market, particularly in OEM, if you serve them a 1440p capable card with enough VRAM to last you until the PS6 becomes commonplace, under $500, and you tick all the boxes when it comes to card size, power draw, price, "good enough for high and later medium gaming in everything until 2028"...it's going to be some of the top tier buy. Basically an even better replacement for the 6700 xt.

And this is a rumor from RedGamingTech. Not exactly 99% accuracy.

You better hope not. AMD is the only company keeping the DIY GPU market alive. If they leave it, you can kiss building an affordable computer goodbye.

Define affordable. Is "affordable" meant to imply something with good price and good performance, or does it define entry level hardware? I'm thinking in general IT marketing slang "affordable" has become synonym to "cheap".

7-8 years ago I was able to afford mid-high end hardware. 15 years ago I was able to afford high end stuff. During these years my paycheck has increased substantially, but prices even more so - not only hardware, but the cost of living has gone up as well. As it stands, I can only afford mid end hardware for the same money - witch for me is not a small sum and requires quite a bit of work and budgeting/sacrifices on my part. Getting mid-end stuff for that amount of work is just not worth it. That money is better spent on something else.

To make matters worse, the xx6x/x6xx series from both companies have been moved down the performance stack twice already. What used to be mid-high end has become mid entry level - a level of performance and image quality I'm not happy with, considering I can just wait 5-10 years and buy top of the line stuff second and enjoy games as they're meant to be enjoyed for a mere fraction of the cost.

From my point of view, affordable computing died ~10-15 years ago.

A message to nvidia and amd: we (the consumers) are not children. Most of us anyway. If you're banking on young people taking out loans to buy your high end stuff - or depending on the 1% of the consumer base for whom money has little meaning, you'll have a bad time. The cost of living has gone up so much in the last decade or so and your products are not "must-have". Keep in mind that lots of us are willing to work with what we have at hand right now, buy older gen hardware or step out of the hobby altogether. The bean-counters that set up your pricing and product stacks are completely disconnected from day to day life, and things will change for the worse in the tech industry if you keep up this trend.

And then you see a 4060ti with 8GB already. 6GB x50ti?

I've already written off any new GPUs with 8GB or less.
It's not enough, and if you're on such a budget that 8GB is an acceptable compromise, then the RX6600 is a fantastic choice that doesn't need you to buy into dumb 40-series pricing.

Hardware-accelerated Lumen will act pretty much the same as any other DXR or VulkanRT application.
The implication of Lumen/Nanite bringing balance implies - or often is straight-up claimed - to have AMD cards perform better in RT compared to Nvidia cards. This is not at all likely to happen.

It already does level the playing field! Again this is with hardware accelerated lumen. AMD GPU's perform as good as Nvidia's counterparts, in fact in many cases even better!

Problem is the original 6600 MSRP was $330 and the original 6600XT MSRP was $380 so even if RDNA3 offsets the price via slightly cheaper production cost to slightly cheaper launch price it will still be a significantly worst value.

With the A770 selling below $300 and the 6700XT below $350, the 7600XT will probably have a MSRP of $299 or lower.

 

[Dwarden]

so no 7700 , no 7800 ... let me guess 7600 will be something crippled with not enough VRAM too
even 8GB is turning to be not enough for low end

it will be acceptable only if it's ~75W part w/o external connector needed and slim/short PCB

radeon just likes integrated graphics and ps5 better...
