AMD-RADEON-RX-7900XTX-4.jpg



Ummm that doesn't look very good... Especially RT.

vs. the 6950xt? at $999?

If you want RT buy a 4090.
If you don't get a 7900.
Pretty sure that's the right path

It's not like the 7900 won't be able to run RT at all :D

And engines are going to keep optimizing for Radeon RT.

I am not disagreeing in general though, just if you think RT performance is the most important purchase factor for the next 18 months, then the 4090 is the choice to make.

But that's not good for the market and not good for AMD either to "ignore" RT. Which they do according to their own benchmarks.

This is def not as bad as the Vega disaster, but it's not good either. Still disappointing tbh.

999$ MSRP.

WHAT THE ****?

Sigh. I'm beginning to dislike the new AMD (not that I'm fond of Nvidia as a business either). If they had been able to deliver a much larger increase in RT, then maybe. And while DP 2.1 is nice, Nvidia just offers more stuff (CUDA, Tensor stuff, etc.). 7900XTX should have been $700, maximum.

AMD simply went for efficiency and maximum profit based on chiplets. I think it shows that CPUs are their focus. Not a bad thing.

So... not as fast as Ada, but much more reasonable power consumption and much better performance/price ratio. Honestly, I'm good with that.

Really curious what 7800/7700 is going to look like. 6800XT was in a really good position relative to 6900XT, 35% cheaper but only 10% slower, however given that N32 is going to be a separate die 2/3rds of the size of N31 I think it'll be that much slower than 7900. Decisions decisions...

The Neo G9 announcement was the biggest hit to me as I picked up my Neo G9 just yesterday. :p I haven't had the chance to open it yet, and for what will likely be a 2xUHD setup (similar to how all current and past G9s are 2xQHD), the upcoming one will likely work better. Albeit, it will also likely cost more than what I had to pay (sale + work discount).

Yeah maybe not. But if Nvidia had segmented the market appropriately I wouldn't be looking at AMD. I don't play RT games. Except Quake 2 and that's fine already.
