the price will make or break these cards, the 7700 better be under 350 or it's DOA

AMD announces Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB and RX 7700 XT 12GB graphics cards - VideoCardz.com

AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT revealed, designed for 1440p gaming At Gamescom AMD announces its mid-range RX 7000 GPUs. AMD has unveiled two highly anticipated graphics cards: the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT, filling a crucial gap in AMD’s RDNA3 desktop lineup. Although we had some...

The power consumption for the 7800 seems crazy considering it's going up against the 4070 with less than 200w. Other than that, I'd like to see the prices and real benchmarks before having an opinion.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Damn. Still looking like they have to go back towards the drawing board. Their CPU offerings are still top tier, though.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Does anyone know which of the two GPUs will be in the upcoming PS5 Pro?

Both. One will be a secret sauce hidden GPU on the power brick that will only be activated years later.

it's not looking good, there is 0 improvment compared to RDNA 2, performance and consumption are the same

sony better get some early RDNA 4 prototype

 

[Damian black]

The pricing will suck for sure.

 

[Silver Wattle]

The 7700xt is better than expected, but sadly since it's being compared to the 16GB 4060ti the price is going to be garbage for both of them.

Another chance blown by AMD this gen.

 

[winjer]

The 7800XT seems like a completely pointless GPU.
It's basically a 6800XT, with similar performance, power usage and price.

starting at tbp of 245 watts ummm neither? Seems too high even if you remove whats used for memory and fans.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Unless they're ridiculously cheap (they won't be) it's not worth it. More power hungry, crap RT, no DLSS, plus the unexpected stupid things like Ratchet missing RT at release.

This gen is an absolute flop for AMD, Lovelace is bad but AMD just shat the bed and made poo angels in it

I guess,but the RX 6800XT has 20% more CUs, I'm assuming the biggest boost is coming from the faster memory.

The 7800Xt has higher clocks, bigger L2 caches and registers that help a bit with IPC.
So in the end, they will probably end up very close.

The 7800XT also has the dual issue units, but since game compilers make no use of these, they are completely useless in PC games.
RDNA3 on a console like the PS5, could be a whole different matter, as Sony could have it's compiler take advantage of the dual issue units and nearly doubling performance.

 

[Xyphie]

Knowing AMD these will be priced something moronic like $579 and $479.

Would this give RDNA 3 cards an advantage with future Playstation ports?

Maybe not, as Sony APIs, OS, SDK and compilers are Playstation exclusives.
if it was MS, maybe. But not so much with Sony.

 

[supernova8]

Most likely priced level with Nvidia's equivalent in raster but with way worse ray tracing - waste of everyone's time

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Very big Meh - if the 7800xt isnt at least 15% faster than the 6800xt, im grabbing a used 6800xt for 300 ish and calling it a day. Hell, maybe even a used PS5 for 400.

Ps5 disc are going for 400 new now with the sale

The prices will be absurd for sure. No thanks AMD. You can keep your cards.

[Rickyiez]

I hope at this point people realized that RDNA4 is the biggest pile of shit with insane power consumption.

I would really like AMD to offer some competition don't get me wrong, but for 7900xtx to consume almost twice the power of 4080 for similar FPS is absurd. It will be the same for 7800xt vs 4070

 

[Zathalus]

AMD is actively trying to be bad, so the 7700XT is likely going to be $450 with the 7800XT being $550. Considering they will perform roughly the same as the 6800 and 6800 XT and those cards can be gotten for even less money makes them utterly pointless.

 

[TheRedRiders]

Curious to see what kind of mental gymnastics MLiD will do to try an spin this as a "Nvidia is doomed" scenario.

[winjer]

Those prices......

I bet they will drop 100$ after a month or so.

 

[analog_future]

The 7800XT should trade blows with the RTX 4070 and it's priced $100 lower.


Not sure what ya'll were expecting here?

 

[Zathalus]

7800XT is... alright.
7700XT is just bad.

AMD is obviously in no rush to claw back marketshare.

I mean the difference between the two cards is not that big, but probably the 7700 should be at least $50 lower, possibly $100

 

[Solidus_T]

No pricing info but AMD has a great opportunity here to price these well. They probably won't do it though.

I posted the prices right here.. 3 posts above

 

[Xyphie]

I think $499 for the 7800XT was the best that could be expected so it's nice that it came in there. If it was $549 or more why would you buy it over a RTX 4070 (which will kinda be the case in Europe at 549€)? 7700XT is pretty bad at just $50 less though and really only serves as an upsell.

7700 XT is gonna drop in price faster....

But for 1440p gaming is plenty enough and is not actually 1 tier lower than the other one... But like half...

They could have called it vanilla 7800

 

[draliko]

Price seems right to me, cheapest 4070 in Italy is 600€

 

[Sleepwalker]

AMD: making the 4070 look like good value.

AMD: making the 4070 look like good value.

How is being $100 cheaper than a similarly performing card making it look like a good value?

AMD: making the 4070 look like worst value with 12GB

550 euro for the 7800xt vs 600 for the 4070 doesn't seem worth it to me for the savings.

We international plebs always get shafted with pricing lol

Well you'd think they'd learn something from the 7900XT reception but I guess not. Terrible card at the $899 launch price but now that's available at like $749 it's actually pretty nice. When it's $379 in 6 months it'll be a great price.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Prices... DOA for EU and UK.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

If I can actually get one for 550 I'll probably jump in.

 

[Puscifer]

The pricing will suck for sure.

Shockingly, it's REALLY good. Please let this be a return to normalcy and even if I do make 110K a year the idea of giving Nvidia a literal percentage of my income for a single component just fucks me up mentally.

 

[Bry0]

7800xt pricing is alright compared to the 4070, more vram too. 7700xt is a dumb upsell that will drop fast like the 7900xt

But they are marketing both of them the right way....

Look at this slide:

 

[scydrex]

Those prices are high. They should cost $50 less at least or $100. No thanks AMD. You are making the 4070 to look good.

Yeah, for a while you could get 6950 for around $550 even. That would have been a much better buy.

There apparently isn't going to be high end RDNA4.
