Every AMD card is over hyped by the fanbois.What's with the hwub thumbnail? How was this card over hyped?
Examples? Idk. Looks like mostly everyone was expecting a 4080 competitor.Every AMD card is over hyped by the fanbois.
Steve explains it in the Final thoughts part of the video. AMD said that the 7900XTX would be 1.7x faster than the 6950XT, which going by Steve's math, is around 50% faster. When in reality, the 7900XTX is only around 30%-35% faster.What's with the hwub thumbnail? How was this card over hyped?
Ah, no idea about that stuff. I thought it had to do with it not competing with the 4090 or some such.Steve explains it in the Final thoughts part of the video. AMD said that the 7900XTX would be 1.7x faster than the 6950XT, which going by Steve's math, is around 50% faster. When in reality, the 7900XTX is only around 30%-35% faster.
But AMD did use different HW and bench different games as well.
Man my 3080 can run most things on 4K and the 7900 XTX doesn't do much better than the 3080 with RT on. I might just skip this generation.
I think for many, yes used will provide a great value. But many folks don't buy used. If I buy new, the 7900 XT will be a decent upgrade over my 3080.Thanks for posting this. This is exactly what I was worried about. the 7900XTX is not fast enough to be faster than the 4080 for less money, so it's simply less money. That means it won't touch the 4090 market share and all Nvidia has to do is drop its price to $999 to compete. The issue with that, of course, is even after price matching (stagnation personified) for performance, that nvidia/AMD have raised the price to the higher budget mainstream card to $999 in the course of two years.
I am not recommending a single 4000 series or 7000 series card to any of my friends/family building PC's, as the market will flood with used 3000 and 6000 series cards which will then be the best deals on market.
A little disappointed if I am being honest. Was hoping/expecting it would distinguish itself by pulling a little further away from the 4080 and more firmly entrenching itself between the 4080 and 4090 in raster. As it stands its basically 4080 tier raster (faster in a couple of outliers, slower in a couple others) + last gen RT for $200 less than a 4080. Which is fine. All very fine. I guess.
They will restart with a 3ghz, 25% stronger edition, gddr7 upcoming in 2023, regardless of how much the xtx scale or not when you OC it.It's funny how all the rumors/leaks started out with nonsense like "3 times faster than Navi 21" to "2 times faster than Navi 21", then AMD comes out with "UP TO 1.7x faster than 6950XT" and then the end result actually ended up being "1.35x over 6950XT" lol.
fanbois pay over rated prices and mess the world up for others around them doing so.Every AMD card is over hyped by the fanbois.
They won't sell well. Just like the 4080 isn't selling well. The $1K market is pretty small and the 4090 sucked some of that up with its great performance.I wonder how well these will sell. More Ram, more watts, same performance, less RT. Mining won’t drive the insane demand of last launch.
LMAO. 7700?Seems like a complete fail to me. Well below expected performance based on their benchmarks, coil whine and bad power regulation. Should have released it as the 7700 series and accelerated the refresh.
RTX Lovelace Titan: $2000I bet Jensen is wishing he didn't give us a 102 die in the 4090, could have easily launched the 4080 as the top dog and had no problem.
It is WoW. A potato can run it.It's super frustrating to have new cards launch and literally not be able to find a single review that actually tests my main game (World of Warcraft). With the huge variance in performance between games, it's really important to see how it performs in games that you actually care about. This is especially important since WoW actually supports Ray Tracing and this seems to be a weak spot of the AMD 7000 series cards.
As someone who runs 6 monitors, I was a bit alarmed to see massive idle power consumption while running multiple monitors. Probably a driver bug, but still...
Gotta ray trace those old ass graphics and shadows tho lol.It is WoW. A potato can run it.
Even the 4090 was abysmal at 8K. We're just not even close to the world of 8K gaming. It makes you wonder why AMD even mentioned it in their 7900 XT/X keynote.love how gamers nexus tested it at 8k and displayed abysmal results, LMAO
Coil whine can happen to any card. All the 4080/4090 laughing with ridiculous HUGE coolers.So coil whine. Loud. Gamers nexus.
Crashing. Loud. Random crashing. PC Centric.
Loud. Abnormal power consumption. Optimum tech.
Seems like new drivers are in order. Maybe non reference cards fare better.

Good point about the 4090 convincing people to buy up for a “little” more money. 4080 does seem like a lame duck.They won't sell well. Just like the 4080 isn't selling well. The $1K market is pretty small and the 4090 sucked some of that up with its great performance.
The sub $500 market is being serviced by last generation cards until they sell out. NV and AMD better have something in the pipeline for that market.
Digital Foundry's review included the XT and the XTX. They arrived at the same conclusion all of us did; the 7900 XT is piss-poor value. It needs to be an $800 card to make any sense at all.Gotta say, this card and the 4080 are both pretty uninspiring. I feel like if you're going to buy a 1000 dollar card you're better off spending 1200 and getting the 4080 which is truly sad. Surprised they aren't really reviewing the 7900 XT, that card seems like a horrible value.
