Will you buy Radeon RX 7900 XT 20 GB or XTX 24 GB?

[ARF]

The more I look at it, the more I think that I definitely do not need these cards!

 

[bonehead123]

They can have my 3090ti only when they can pry it from my cold, dead hands, or when the new gen cards drop to <$400, whichever happens 1st, hehehe

 

[ARF]

New lowest prices in Germany:
979 for 20 GB XT and 1295 for 24 GB XTX.

Mine is on a truck for delivery as we speak. I will be comparing it to my Watercooled 6800XT. That cost about the same if not a little more but it's still not fair due to the mining collapse. For me there has been so much acrimony created from claims that it made me decide to get one and try it for myself.

Do you sell the 6800XT ?

Not yet I am still enjoying Gaming on it. When it is ready to sell it will be on my local market. I am wondering if I will sell it as a single slot card for watercooling or just put the shroud back on. Corsair has made Watercooling much more accessible in Canada recently.

I'm keeping an eye on the 7900XT. If I need to get a new card (new game needs more power than my 2080ti can handle at 1440p), then this will be the next choice. I had initially voted 'No' but seeing the performance and price of the 4070ti, I'd rather have the 10% higher raster power of the 7900XT. But then, only if the price drops.

My too, but what is the price point for 7900 XT that you would be willing to pounce?

 

[the54thvoid]

It depends on my financial position. I recently gave up work to focus on my own business, so at present I'm holding off all purchases. But, it'd need to drop to nearer £700. Preferably less.

 

[ARF]

I think AMD will have greater success if moves the RX 7900 XTX down a notch to compete directly at $799 with RTX 4070 Ti.
And put RX 7900 XT at $599 to try to attach more attention from potential buyers.

AMD has no interest to be in an agreement with nvidia and follow the current game.

They may have no interest in following Nvidia's trends just for the sake of it, but as a for-profit company, they definitely do have an interest in making money.

And the customers have the interest to RESIST that. Which means less profits and even losses for AMD

Good luck with your business. I started my business years ago. Toughest thing I have ever done.

 

[Kapone33]

Well here begins my journey.

That's not on AMD, though. People who don't necessarily need the best of the best should resist the price hike from both companies, imo. With AMD, that's usually not a problem, but Nvidia has enough fans who buy their cards regardless of their price so that they (Nvidia) essentially do whatever they want. Not buying AMD will not change AMD's intention to follow business trends and hope to stay competitive. It will only help Nvidia in their agenda to increase profit margins to the sky, and AMD will follow along.

AMD's business trend is to lose market share with an outlook to abandon the discrete graphics business altogether to nvidia and Intel.

Do you have a source on that?

 

[ARF]

Do you have a source on that?

Why a source? You need an official confession from AMD that they no longer will release any graphics cards? Well, after looking at AMD for all those years, this is the most natural event that could happen next.
How many generations are AMD allowed to skip without paying the ultimate price - to lose their existence in the market?

Bilibili leaker Enthusiast Citizen states that the AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards will go on sale in December. AMD will launch only two flagship SKUs at its November 3 event, neither of which can outperform the GeForce RTX 4090 in rasterization or raytracing.

Underwhelming AMD Radeon RX 7000 performance estimate renders it incapable of competing with Ada Lovelace in rasterization and raytracing - NotebookCheck.net News

According to rumors, AMD's Navi-based GPUs, which are slotted for release in 2019, may compete with Nvidia's GTX 1080 but not supersede it. This could spell trouble for AMD; the GPU shortage caused by the cryptomining craze particularly hit AMD's stock, and the lack of a competitive GPU next year may cause a loss of market share.

Well, sorry, but I don't give any credit to personal speculation, including yours. To put it bluntly: I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[MrPerforations]

just got mine. went for a AMD™ Sapphire™ RX7900XTX.
its on air atm.
1080p, im using a 4k monitor, so hope it performs better.
You got to remember that all the reviews are using the best PC available.

Fire strike scores :
AMD™ RX 7900xtx = 36614
AMD™ RX Vega 56 crossfire =31322

Timespy scores:
AMD™ RX 7900xtx = 21912
AMD™ RX Vega 56 Crossfire =13842

Heaven bench:
AMD™ RX 7900xtx = 8026
AMD™ RX Vega 56 Crossfire =6278

AMD™ Sapphire RX 7900XTX £1300
AMD™ MSI™ RX Vega 56 Crossfire £500

Very Hot!!!!!
The back plate has sausages, bacon and eggs on, its that hot.
the Vega's are water blocked and the back plate was at ambient temp.

 

[gffermari]

The 3800XT is too slow for this card.
Upgrade to 5800X3D asap!

Did you buy the reference 7900xtx?

Get yourself a 7900XTX and give yourself some context before making that statement. The 6800XT sold plenty well and held a high retail price for a long time. When the 7900XT goes to it's proper $699 it will sell properly. The 4070TI is not faster than the 7900XT and when AMD drops the price to compete it will become irrelevant as in Hardware and Software Ray Tracing it beats it. The narrative has people comparing that card to the 3090 and 3090TI. That is a huge advantage for mind share for AMD. It's ok though the Console ports are not getting scarce so you can thank AMD for that too.

I kind of want to put in my 5950X to see but the 5800X3D loves the 7900XTX.

 

[gffermari]

The 5950X will not hold this card back in real conditions. Meaning 1440p/4K ultra settings.
After the CES, I expect a response from AMD to 4070Ti aka price cut.
Then the 7000 cards will be back on the table.

That rumour aged like milk. The 5700XT is much faster than a GTX 1080. At 1440p, The GTX 1080 is 12% slower than the 2060 Super while the 5700XT is 13% faster than the latter. This makes the 5700XT nearly 30% faster than the GTX 1080.
