I'm hoping that's the case, because a 7800XT should also be a bit faster in rasterization than the 3090TI so them pricing at $800-$900 should destroy the ampere used market while also rendering this pos 408012gb worthless. A lot of interesting news should start hitting in the next few weeks. I just wish that AMD would come to the table quicker, as the quicker they release or announce specs, the quicker the market shake up happens.
AMD got burned by promising things they couldn't deliver on, and releasing unstable drivers. They'll probably never do that again, at least not while Lisa Su is still holding the reins.
Unlike other companies (like Intel currently), AMD is not subsidizing GPU development by profits from from other departments. GPU development has to pay for itself, so I don't expect the cards to be below 6000 series levels.
Yep. A lot of people are going to burn their shit down with this clusterfuck of a design.
I imagine there are far more people with their heads up their asses than not. LTT forum is going to be filled with people posting pictures of crispy hardware.
Well I mean if you read the warnings on stuff you can tell there's definitely "someone", many of them really, who are that stupid. Definitely wouldn't be too surprised if a bunch of people end up complaining their new 4090 half burned or their PSU fried or whatever and it's just some old shit with a crappy adapter.
Yeah, that's why I pulled the trigger on the 3080 FE as soon as I could get one, at $699 it was a ridiculously good deal.
Well if its getting that low - then everyone needs to pull an EVGA.
That's probably why the MSRP is getting so high on these cards, so the partners can actually get some margins back.
Be funny if it goes all 3dfx and Intel buys Nvidia. Seriously thinking going AMD next round if the price/performance is there.
