News AMD RX 7900 XTX Geekbench 5 Vulkan Results Match RTX 4080

[Fates_Demise]

It's not that hard to be good if compared to nVidia.
Praise AMD that G-SYNC is dead and we don't have to pay $100 more for decent monitors.
Praise AMD that next-generation of graphics API Vulkan is open for all and not like CUDA.

Nvidia is the world leader for innovation in the gpu market. All AMD does is try to make a cheap imitation.
Freesync still is not as good as true gsync and only came about because of nvidia, same with gpus pushing raytracing, not to mention massive advances in AI tech all from nvidia.

Sniff sniff. Whew. Smells like fanboism in here.

all Nvidia does is rape its customers and they come back begging for more. I think there’s a word for this. Oh yeah, it’s the Stockholm syndrome, pitiful.

Wait, there’s more! Buy at 4090 now and burn down your house tomorrow! Act now before supplies run out

then, after that Nvidia will blame the user and user will go buy another one

That's a little disappointing because the 6900 XT came real close to matching the 3090 in rasterization. Ray Tracing is a big meh to me. I turn it off as it offers no value while i'm gaming.

That's gonna change more and more as new games roll out, RT is far faster to use for development so games are gonna look much worse with RT off down the road. Dying light 2 was one of the first games that had a massive jump in how it looked and thats only the start.

Just a observation.. if the 7700XTX really end up costing $600 at RTX3080Ti level but the RTX end up selling used for this same amount, isn't that bad news for AMD? Unless they match Nvidia on RT performance this time, it's going to be a tough time for AMD with prices like this.. the RTX 3080 IS already selling for $575 at ebay, when the 7700XT hits market at $500 the 3080 will be at same price, but with better ray tracing and DLSS support that would be really bad for AMD. They better catch up RT this time, even if it's a gimmick

Oh, really? Do you seriously think that nVidia invented anything new with, for example, DLSS? Every single such "innovation" mysteriously requires only the newest GPUs and won't work even on their previous gen. (While there is zero requirements for such in algorithms.)

Freesync still is not as good as true gsync and only came about because of nvidia

The "true" G-SYNC is completely dead. There are no monitors anymore with dedicated chips. The "new" G-SYNC is actually Adaptive-Sync rebrand (=FreeSync).

same with gpus pushing raytracing

Which is completely useless for most programs and performance just isn't there to do full screen true ray tracing even for top cards.

not to mention massive advances in AI tech all from nvidia.

Uhm, can you mention those "massive advances"? Scientific papers, please.

This does not seem to be high enough performance per dollar to swap over to AMD over nVidia. Quite the shame, it looks like I may have to go with the RTX 4090 in order to have the best feature set unless somehow the AMD cards can match nVidia in ray tracing which seems unlikely.

The RTX 4090 is about 40% faster for 33% more money, and it likely will remain an effective card for twice as long as the RTX 4080 due to the 24GB of memory vs 16GB.

I am currently running an RTX 2080 and am looking for something to run a 5120x2160 monitor at 72Hz along with 2 1920x1200 side monitors. $1600 or a bit more is a pretty big price to pay, but it should last 4 to 5 years as my main computer and last another 4 to 5 years in my backup PC, likely undervolted it will last longer.

Hopefully by the 15th we will have more information and it will show AMD in more favorable position, $1000 would be better than over $1600.

Disappointed if true, I was expecting the 7900XTX to be between the rtx 4090 and the 4080 given its price, weak RT performance and lack of DLSS. Now I see an upcoming 4090 Ti that will cost 2000+$. I hope the 7900XTX will OC better than the rtx4080 with the 3x8pin connector. Maybe AMD will later release a 7950XTX, who knows. I am still holding on my Strix 2080 Ti from 2018, its still great for 4K60+fps gaming with OC.

Games are being built around RT now Calisto Protocol looks very different with it enabled.

???

AMD's $999 is literally punching at the same weight as NVIDIA's $1200 card... what are you on about?

$1000 for a 4080 equivalent is still a rip off which is the point you clearly missed... get a clue?

 

[Rahzuul]

The obvious question I have is: how do the 3090 and 6950XT compare in these?

Geekbench didn't have 6950xt listed on their benchmark tables.

 

[-Fran-]

you want it you got it , 2.8Ghz 6900XT (XTX) on water 2120mhz memory.
https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/compute/6019826
191K at 2.7Ghz (stable in games) (2.8ghz aren't)

Thanks. That looks quite good given the 6900XT baseline the person below got for us.

That puts the scores in a much better context. Just going by percentages and taking into account the 6950XT is not there and most comparisons were made against it, one can extrapolate (rather safely) the 7900XTX is going to be closer to the 4090 than the 4080. Also, RDNA3 seems to be clearly optimized for gaming and not computation.

That's good news for everyone, I'd say.

What most raging nVidia (and AMD, when reversed) fanbois don't get is: the closer they are in performance all-around, the more pressed the other one is to be competitive. I do believe, this time around, nVidia is glad they managed to release the 4090 so early for the mind share, because they'll have a hard time when the 7900XTX launches, for sure. While the prices are still way too high, it's a nice (kinda) second HD4870 moment for AMD.

I do VR, so I'm in the market for such a card. Theoretically, the 7900XTX will be cheaper than the 6900XT I got about a year ago.

Regards.

I find it amusing that people now think that $1000 is an acceptable price. lol Once you factor in the AIB mark up, these will be the same price as a 4080, yet with a worse feature set. Basically, the same old song and dance by AMD.

It’s been acceptable for at least 6 years for a halo tier GPU…

 

[CmdrSloth]

Most review sites have updated this article with the RX 7900 XTX punching about 20% higher then the 4080 in Vulkan.

Why hasn't Tom's update theirs?

Hmmmm.

 

[mubbasher]

but Nvidia has been historically better at ray tracing than AMD.

 

[deanimate]

The prices are going nowhere but up. Don’t expect things to get cheaper from here.

just like what happened to model trains. Now it’s only a rich man’s game with individual pieces costing in the thousands.

What if we make train out of a 4090? Then we beat the system 🆒

1) new tech doesn't always require the newest cards. Sometimes it does but that's kind of a duh.. when your pushing latest tech changes in the hardware are crucial sometimes. DLSS 3 for example has new hardware to align RT processing for better streaming.

2) seriously dude... Nvidia is the world leader in AI gpu technology, I don't even have to link anything for anyone with half a brain to pull up thousands of articles stating the same thing... go open up your web browser and look yourself.

And yet, they will sell, because it's AMD. All the while the buyers point fingers at people buying Nvidia, preaching about brand loyalty or something.
