AT those prices that AMD Is Asking I can only imagine what other dealers will be asking and I was hoping to get a Sapphire Card. here in Canada they should ONLY be asking $799.00 on the high side, $699.00 would have been more acceptable. I understand the XT is having some Game issues and clock speeds being erratic from 1 game to another.

My Sapphire RX 6800 Pulse is doing good, got it a few months ago after prices started coming down. I was stuck with an RX 290X 4GB which was okay when I got it...in 2015. Having 16GB of video memory really helped smooth my system, I've seen browsers alone use 10GB of video memory! Then of the three free games I got Sniper Elite 5 used up to 15.7GB of video memory! So I'm very much looking forward to getting the XTX sometime next year. At least for now I don't have to close my browsers (yes, plural) just to be able to play a video game. Video memory capacity needs to continue to expand!

Joker productions video showed some erratic c. freq. issues with the card, all the way down to 1.5Ghz. In addition to this VRAM allocation for RT is still broken from RDNA2:

RDNA3 refresh cannot come soon enough. It isn't anywhere near its intended design.

This is something I could imagine in my PC, along with the Asus TUF. The rest of the AIB designs are ugly AF.

I like the design, but the 7900 series is not exciting.

Blindly trusting companies to not screw up every once in a while is also funny.

just keep in mind it's not the same cooler and is inferior in heat capacity - fewer heatpipes, different heatsink fin layout
