The price bandied about is $700 for the top model. We can be hopeful of $550 for the "budget" model https://www.theverge.com/23700094/asus-rog-ally-price-amd-z1-extreme

The 6800xt can be back ordered for $500 now https://www.newegg.com/msi-radeon-rx-6800-xt-rx-6800-xt-gaming-z-trio-16g/p/N82E16814137720?Item=N82E16814137720 it used to be that Nvidia fans hoped for cheap prices from AMD so that Nvidia will be forced to do a price cut. now it is other way round...

The RX 6800 was available briefly for $450 then went back to $485 and now $470. Ideally ( if AMD is gonna delay RDNA 3 cards then ) the RX 6800 should drop the price closer to $400

6950 xt is being discounted to $600/$610 in newegg. So worth comparing ray tracing performance of 6950 vs 4070, imo. I reckon that the 6950 will be slightly inferior to the 4070. So it probably comes down to case size, psu requirements, efficiency etc. Also if you are planning on 4k gaming then...

Interesting. If the 4070 is $600 then following is likely price for cards lower down the lineup 4060 ti ~ $500 4060 ~ $400 4050 ti ~ $330 4050 6gb ~ $280

No.

So no new switch until 2026 ?

AMD making a virtue out of necessity. If 7900 XTX had been more power efficient then AMD would have upped the frequencies & sold it for $1200

In USA XFX MERC 310 7900 xt is available for $850 in NewEgg/Amazon https://www.newegg.com/xfx-radeon-rx-7900-xt-rx-79tmercb9/p/N82E16814150877 (open in desktop browser/mode) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNLSZDCX/?tag=thefpsreview-20 I don't see stocks being an issue this gen. Speculation is...

What AMD said (not spending die size on unnecessary features) would make sense if their GPUs were either better in raster or cheaper (true for RDNA2 not true for RDNA 3) For example in the initial versions of zen, unlike competing Intel products there was no IGP but AMD made up by value/perf...

Looks like a big win for Intel in RT ??

Someone said that after completing one round of overclocking, you can then undervolt it and repeat the overclocking cycle to release additional frequency headroom. Is that true? Does it work that way ?

The timing is bad for AMD. Usually there is a break for chinese new year. So they stock ahead in preparation. Depends on how many batches are defective, they may not have sufficient replacement cards at the present

Nvidia has enormous pricing power because of RTX & DLSS3 At the premium price points ($500 plus) people most likely go by added features rather than outright raster performance What is surprising is that: even in below $500 prev gen GPUs, higher price Ampere cards outsell equivalent but much...

Update from Igor Wallossek : AMD preparing to offer exchange/refunds. https://www.igorslab.de/en/amd-radeon-rx-7900xtx-reference-cards-mba-and-the-hotspot-multiple-batches-of-vapor-chamber-affected-the-replacement-begins/ Hotspot problem of AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 XTX (MBA): Even several batches...

Today Igor weighs in by sharing a note from a board partner. It is reported that the undisclosed OEM suspects at least one faulty batch of Radeon 7900 series might have left the factory. The possible issue being described is insufficient coolant added to the vapor chamber. Possible...

The reference cards are sub-contracted to manufacturers in China, including AIB reference cards. Last I checked Zotac (PC Partner) was a major supplier for AMD GPUs
