Personally, I chose not to switch to AMD yet in this gen. There is little reason for anyone to buy the RX 7900 XTX when they can have the RTX 4080 at a similar price point. It still dipped into the high-end segment with its two flagships, and while that dip showed a lot of promise, it hasn’t proved to be successful so far. Still, with all the hype around DLSS 3, the RTX 4070 Ti doesn’t even need to be particularly good for people to pick it over the RX 7900 XT.Įarly on in this gen, AMD made it quite clear that it’s not planning on competing against Nvidia’s top GPU. Let’s not forget the fact that Nvidia is really doing the rounds this generation by hyping up the latest Deep Learning Super Sampling ( DLSS 3), which offers a tangible boost in frame rates and could justify a purchase all on its own. While the RTX 4070 Ti is about the same price as the RX 7900 XT, Nvidia still controls the largest portion of the market by far, and that’s enough for many gamers to turn that way instead of trying out AMD. Many users who want to game at 1440p will default to Nvidia because AMD’s only options are the two RX 7900s, and many people choose the 4070 Ti over the XT model. Sure, we’ve got the RX 7600 now (which is surprisingly decent, as you can learn in our RX 7600 review), but there’s still a massive gap between the three cards. Meanwhile, AMD started out strong with its RTX 4080 competitor, the RX 7900 XTX, and the weaker RX 7900 XT, but it’s been mostly radio silence since then. We’ve got cards ranging from the expensive $1,6 to the mostly affordable $3, and there are a bunch of options in between. In this generation, Nvidia flew through most of its lineup. Small fish, huge pond Jacob Roach / Digital Trends The change could be good for AMD and its spotty track record with GPUs this generation, though. We don’t know any specifics as of yet, and AMD is unlikely to tell us much of anything until it’s ready, which is probably not until next year at the earliest. After all, AMD willingly stepped down from the race to the best GPU in RDNA 3, and it never managed to beat Nvidia’s RTX 3090 Ti in the previous generation (though the RX 6950 XT put up quite the effort). While leaks should never be taken at face value, it seems like change is imminent. Think of it like RDNA1 or Polaris generation. We’ll have to wait for the announcement, which is probably coming soon if cards are already being imported, to be sure.Navi4 lineup will not have any high-end GPUs Pricing hasn’t been confirmed for either new card, but I’d peg them at no more than $650 and $550, and hopefully less. The RX 7700 XT would, logically, fall somewhere between that and that $270 RX 7600’s 32 compute units, 2048 stream processors, and 128-bit memory. The PowerColor leak identified the RX 7800 XT with a new Navi 32 GPU core variant, 60 compute units, 3840 stream processors, and a 256-bit memory interface. Specifications aren’t part of the listing, but it seems obvious that “16GO” and “12GO” labels refer to 16GB of memory for the RX 7800 XT (which we already knew) and 12GB for the RX 7700 XT. Based on the scant product names and taking a peek at ASRock’s current lineup, we can take an educated guess that the five cards will come to market under ASRock’s Steel Legend, Challenger, and Phantom Gaming labels, ( as noted by WCCFTech) which offer varying small tweaks to core clocks and coolers.
