Thanks subject fixed
Definitely what I want to do at 7am, look at someone holding a GPU that I can't buy yet, with US pricing (and AU pricing to come a week later) and no useful benchmarks until real world testing is done.
Attending this event seems like a form of torture.
You estimate AU pricing and performance from information provided. But yeah, I’ll just read a summary after rather than watch the livestream
Radeon RX 7900 XTX will cost US$999 while RX 7900XT will retail at US$899
Those should thus be about AU$1746 for the XTX and AU$1571 for the XT.
NVidia are in trouble.
I don't think they'll be too worried, they got in a month worth of price gouging and will just drop the price if the 7900 series winds up faster than a 4080.
They're still pushing hard on DLSS being the greatest thing since sliced bread. So expect to see comparisons that the 4080 can do a zillion more frames in 4K with raytracing turned on than the 7900TX, thus is worth the extra $300AU.
Hopefully, FSR 3.0 will close the gap in the few areas DLSS beats FSR 2.0. Does look like it will still be lagging behind in raytracing though.
Their problem is they can't cut the price of the 4080 too much, they just don't have the pricing scope of AMD.
This sits between a 4080 and 4090 for a way cheaper price - which means they are likely to take the bulk of the mainstream. I was told when I predicted a US$999 price that there was no way they were going to be that cheap. Now NVidia need to reduce their 4080 price to $999, and I'm not sure they can do it.
And I have the feeling that AMD can overclock this same card with 3 connectors and get close to a 4090 without sweating too much. About all NVidia can point to is ray tracing.
7900 XTX - 384bit 24GB, 355W, US$999 = AU$1899 street
7900 XT - 320bit 20GB, 300W, US$899 = AU$1699 street
2x standard 8pin power connectors, 2.5 slots, focus on power efficiency
Will go well anywhere with issues with power prices (Europe) and a preference for smaller mATX/ITX builds (Asia)
RTX will continue to dominate the US market
Friday not Thursday
