Hold the lime, they're inevitably going to be forced to lower prices more because their cards aren't selling

While this is a terrible price, the 4070 ti comparison isn't valid. The 4070 ti has less raw power and less vram. Both the cards are terribly priced, but I would much rather have this than a 4070 ti.

This is facts

card was already over priced to start just like nvidia. AMD also recently slowed supply to create their own shortage.

so be ready they're going to use scare tactics (scalpers) to get you buying cards again

Prices are falling because this was a terrible value at 900 compared to the 4070ti. 6800 XT/6700 XT prices have been the same for literally half a year.

Of course prices will go down but dont be surprised if you only save 50 bucks and have to wait months.

Yup. I've been to Microcenter many times since and most of the people that bought these are scalpers thinking they can sell it for a profit, but they ended up having to return it

The 3080 orginally had 10 GB and the 6800 XT had 16GB. However both were in same tier. The 7900 XT is a step too slow to compete with the 4080 so its in line with the 4070 Ti despite the VRAM difference.

Also, the 4070Ti is only 9-10% slower than the 7900 XT. It draws way less power and the extra VRAM helps it very little at 4K. At 800 dollars, I would also go with AMD but there are many who would chose the Nvidia for its more flushed out and mature ecosystem.

7900xt is apparently a better chip

Better how? Pure raster yes.

DLSS, Ray Tracing, VR, Streaming, 3D related tasks/video processing? Nvidia takes the crown in all of these departments. Regardless overall the 4070 TI is only about 9-10% slower so it's not that much worse overall.

Not to mention it draws less power, outputs less heat but those are more secondary reasons.

How is the 4070ti superior in VR and Streaming? VR is notoriously ram dependent due to the high resolutions needed and more raster helps too… streaming what? Really just curious here.

Arguably, AMD has a more robust GPU management suite embedded right into their drivers with features like Radeon Chill and Freesync support is more ubiquitous as there are plenty of Freesync monitors that aren't supported by Gsync.

If you care a lot about idle power, then yup, Nvidia is your go to, for sure.

In any case I agree and think in a more sane world these are all $200-$300 cheaper than they are even now. Sadly that's not likely to happen for some time.

$799 should be the price for almost all of the 7900 xt cards after the AMD msrp price drop.

The only thing holding me back from the current gen AMD cards is the non-gaming performance. A couple youtubers complained of crashes in DaVinci and other video editing programs.

AMD generally does worse in VR, VRAM be damned. Its a well established fact similar to how its worse in ray tracing. AMD's encoding is one such reason why its worse.

Nvidia's R&D is many times larger than AMD's. Combined with the fact that the latter's resources is split between its CPU and GPU divisions, it makes sense that they must focus on whats most important which is raster performance. Its why Nvidia is a better card for productivity and other areas (DLSS, RT, Video encoding, etc).

Furthermore they have yet to completely fix VR issues with the new RDNA3 cards. My 7900 XTX is roughly the same as my 6900 XT when running HL Alyx for example. Its a well documented issue.

Either way im not advocating for the 4070 ti over this. My original point is that at 900 dollars this wasnt going to sell well over a cheaper 4070 ti or even a 7900 xtx

Here is a thorough benchmark that pit the 4080 against the XTX.

I feel like I'm tempted at the $699 price for these cards (and I don't care about games because games are reduced in price 50% about a month after they release).
