A man can dream :D
I guess it overblocks better than the 6800XT?
BTW amd also restricted the 6000 series from the antilag+
At the end of the day i don't think i'll be dumping my 6800xt for it, specially now that i know mine will support everything except antilag+ (i don't use av1)
Yeah
Something to keep in mind:
AMD couldn't deliver performance wise vs the 6800XT, so they lower price, power consumption and add features that won't be available on the 6800XT :shadedshu:
They aren't even comparing it to a 4070 Ti, just the vanilla 4070. Since launch i said that the real 6800xt replacement was the 7900XTX, because it is a 100% match of the 4080 (remember 6800xt vs 3080).
This gen, amd brought nothing to compete with the 4090. They thought that by naming them 7900...
Yeah, it seems the 7800XT is pretty close to the 6800XT. In an ideal world the 7800XT should be between 6900xt and 6950xt, but in reality i think it will be between 6800xt and 6900xt. That's like 5% higher than the 6800xt, almost nothing. At least it consumes less power and is somewhat cheaper.
I used to think like that almost a decade ago.
Why didn't amd priced the 7600 at $200, that's the price of the 6600!
Every cycle that moment repeats, when the older gen is so fuckin' discounted that the new gen can't quite compete.
Yet the true comparison is what was the msrp of the 6600, $330...
Price will always fall, be patient. That's the smart thing to do. Although i agree this should have a max of $250 msrp.
I have both, don't care about brand. Only performance/dollar.
