"Reaper" series? Are they making GN-based cards now? LOL

Oh, man...

Anyway; I just hope AMD doesn't screw up this launch. They've set expectations on "mid tier" compelling performance for the price, so they better deliver.

I would hope both the 8600 and 8800 are outfitted with over 8Gb VRAM. I think Intel have cottoned on that with their Battlemage GPUs.

8GB on an 8600?
Jeepers Creepers, they're gonna get bleepered.

Especially since it will also be old GDDR6 memory. Still 5060 is 8GB only too. But I don't know if this level of card gets GDDR7. It'll probably rely on L2 cache but that only get so you so far and won't help if you run out of memory.


I consider 7600 and 7600XT as trash tier and misnamed 7500 parts like 4060 is misnamed 4050 and looks like 8600 will continue that trend.

8600 with 8GB memory translates into AMD have done their market research & are confident a return on investment will be adhered to like all good business practice in the first place. The complaints on here for 8GB limitation are from end users who think consumers of these cards only play PC games & ultra settings & that's all they ever do with their card. AMD certainly doesn't see it this way unless you think their marketing dept & researches don't know their backside from their brains.

Did you totally miss the B580 review?
It is $250 and trades blows with the 7600XT
The 7600XT is $315.

Where as the 7600 is also $250, but gets left in the dust, and is well known to run out of VRAM, even at 1080p.

It's not $250 where I could obtain the B580 from my part of the world. It's nearly double that in my country, so the age old argument of relativity comes into play. Value for money is what most PC enthusiasts consider before purchases in line with their user case. Lots of nuances in that argument,,, but go for it, I'm all ears...
