Incredible how even a tech journalist unable to calculate percentages… 😂 it beats the 5050 by 25%. OR the 5050 is 20% slower. Unbelievable 🤣 please for god’s sake correct it in the headline and in article.

8GB 5070 😂 yeah no thx

Thx for the review! I find it odd that the A580, the predecessor is not in the charts. Then i checked tpu: in price/perf actually there is 3% regressuon compared to A580. Pfff. Thats not good.

So gen on gen (A580- $179) this delivers roughly 40-45% more performance for exactly 40% more money, and adds an extra 4gb of vram? Do i get it right? 😬

No it wont. Because the si called “4080” is in reality already a xx70ti gpu, so it already hit the 1k mark.

Wow. Even the 4090 is not a 4k card anymore.

I dont really get it. Zen4c is way more compact in die area. If the normal 9000 series already consist 96core version, here a 128 core version is just a no brainer. Maybe even a 160 core is fitting. Where are those?

Thats a no-go. The rx6800 with 16g is widely avaliable here for 340-350usd for several month now, in stores on the shelves still. If this one is slower and having 12g only, no way it should cost above 300usd

You guys just lowering yourselves and your credibility. How could you recommend this??? Please have some common sense

They do producing entry level cards. They just naming and pricing it a few tiers higher. But its existing.

You nailed it. It is exactly between those two. My friend has one for several month now (EU you could bought it even as a standalone product ). It is bandwith starved. 18gbit/s and 256bit bus just kills it. Would they give it 20gbit/s it could be on par at least with the 6950xt.

Meanwhile Matty from a few weeks ago: "AMD is almost certainly using a chiplet design for the Radeon RX 7600 XT..." His saving grace is that he put there the word 'almost'. And I cannot find the other article but I clearly remember the wording stating impossible to use N33 as it is already maxed...

Yes, they did a similar thing with the upnaming, difference being rdna3 did not hit target (I would debate it is 15-20% off), while Nvidia actually quiet overrun (2 node jump, new uarch, etc). So now the gap is very big. Hence nvidia is able to somewhat run away with a product named one tier...

Not a suprise, this "7800XT" is just really a 7700XT at best. (And even then I was very generous) You can check out I'm a MAC on youtube analyzing this whole rdna3 mess...

I would do the same from their perspective. From my perspective they are dead for a while. And if I would be soíe kind of universal governor of the earth, i would implement very nice laws. no product upnaming. Cannot cost more then 5% of previous gen. Minimum raster uplift is 30%. Rt and tensor...
