No, simply because these and the NV equivalents are way out of my price range.

No. They are out of my price range; I'll buy a cheaper 6800 XT instead.

With a 6800XT you will smile anyway. Even though I want an XTX I am really enjoying my 6800XT.

This shouldn't be a 'Yes' or 'No' poll, it should be either one, so a choice of 'RX 7900 XT' and 'RX 7900 XTX' should be the choices, not 'Yes' or 'No'. And here's my answer to the question....
This pic was taken at a shop where the card was picked up on my behalf by my bud, it was being held by a member of staff at the shop

In case you're not sure if it's the XT or XTX, the 3x 8pin PCIe power connectors should clue you in....:toast:

I don't imagine myself doing so. 3070 still going strong and new generation (both NV and AMD) is way too expensive to justify swapping it.

I actually haven't seen much of AIB XT's. Don't they get extra power connectors as well? Or would they be 8+8+6?

Same. I'm completely uninterested in space-heaters at any price just to play a few games. And even if I wanted a flagship, there comes a time where you have to say "No" just to keep things real vs next generation (exactly why we have £900-£1050 7900XT's vs £1250-£1400 RTX 4080's today) whilst consoles remain £250 (XB_S) / £440 (XB_X). Almost half the people I know who were previously into / considering PC gaming have said "screw throwing money into a spiralling fire pit" and have bought their kids XBox's this Christmas...

I believe the AIB's RX 7900 XT have 2x 8pin connectors, only their RX 7900 XTX have 3x 8pin connectors.

No, I bought a 6800xt this year and will continue to use it for several more generations.

I likely wont upgrade until the RX 9000 series, especially if prices remain high.

Same for me, I recently beat the Infinite Warfare campaign, and while I had a lot of fun doing it, and also am looking forward to other games... my backlog is big, my 6800 XT honestly maxes out a lot of those older games so easily.

Speaking of that, Dragon Age Origins looks fucking amazing when scaled to 1440p 27". I have always wanted to play that game, so that is next on my list.

Well, technically, the RX 7900 XT is a replacement for the Radeon RX 6800 XT, providing less than 30% performance improvement.

Just got myself an XFX Merc 6800 XT, for 650€ (they are around 800€ in Europe ATM) and I couldn't be happier. Double the performance of my old modded Vega 56 at the same power. It's a beast! And to answer the poll: No, because prices suck and I knew it wasn't worth getting anything faster for myself anyways (2560x1080).

DA:O is on my to do list as well. The only game I have that pushes the GPU is halo infinite which still manages triple digets at 1440p ultra, so meh. Everything else I have runs maxed out and nothing new is tickling me enough to upgrade anytime soon.

I wonder when will AMD make us happy with a news along the line - we make a new graphics card for you - it is very fast and yet we managed to keep it very efficient with only 200 watt TDP, but its performance is comparable to our competitor's 500 watt monsters?

Same. I'm completely uninterested in space-heaters at any price just to play a few games. And even if I wanted a flagship, there comes a time where you have to say "No" just to keep things real vs next generation (exactly why we have £900-£1050 7900XT's vs £1250-£1400 RTX 4080's today) whilst consoles remain £250 (XB_S) / £440 (XB_X).

And maybe a new Playstation... :rolleyes:
