Newegg offers massive discounts on some top-end and mid-range AMD Radeon RX 7000-series GPUs. Similar Amazon listings are also on sale.

Radeon RX 7000 GPUs receive juicy discounts — RX 7900 XTX down to $849 : Read more

This smells suspiciously like a sponsored post by Newegg to make a 4-5% discount from the current price sound far better than it is.

LOL, with the 8800XT about to make the 7900 cards look like woeful value, I wouldn't even consider a 7900XTX at anything more than $450.

Even microcenter has big discounts. Amd models have the biggest discount.

Is it really true about the 8000 series?

I think that's a rumor, and I honestly don't think it will improve substantially. They may stop using chiplet design, which can improve performance.

AMD has also said they have given up on the higher end of performance for their GPUs so the 7900XTX may remain the most powerful, or keep close to it, AMD card you can get. This article is slightly misleading because you could have gotten at least one 7900 XTX for the same price in prior sales and most of the cheaper cards have hit 880 or less at least a couple times in the past year with sales.

With the rumors about 8000 these GPUs need to be discounted like the 6900xt. Nearly 50%. Sounds crazy but I wouldn't buy one any lower. Especially since the 8000 might have more useful features. FSR was not really desirable to me.

The rumors I've been hearing is that the top RX 8000 series card isn't going to raise performance and may actually be a slight regression due to the biggest die configuration running into development issues and being canned (and thus no RX 8900XT/X), but it is supposed to be a jump in performance/watt and performance/$. They're supposedly going back to monolithic GPUs for the whole lineup while they work out some of the issues with using chiplets for graphics (also, increased demand for advanced packaging due to AI may have driven up production cost and created a bottleneck), and the ray tracing hardware is getting a huge overhaul.

I think the rumors going around were that the 8800XT (name not confirmed) is going to generally land between the 7900XT and the 7900XTX in raster (maybe closer to the XT than the XTX), have improved RT/AI performance but downgrade the VRAM to 16gb on a 256-bit bus, and cost between $500-600. It's gonna mess up the value on the top RDNA 3 cards for sure, but I don't see the 7900XTX falling $100+ below the 8800XT if rumors are true.

Thanks! Great point about the wafer availability for large monolithic gpu's. Nvidia of course will have the lions share of whatever tsmc can spit out. AMD probably needs the top teir chips for their Instinct cards. The ram is a weird choice too.
