    One month to way. Not too long.
    Will we get reviews sooner, or will we have to wait until the 13th of December?

    Well, here's hoping it takes away NVidia's thunder.
    Hmm, looks like AuerX Giffy has thunder issues.

    Could anyone enligthen me with the meaning of "SEP" princing? street estimated price? super elevated pricing? so exagerated pricing?

    got stuck with the ol' MSRP nomenclature.

    The 7900xt is in the odd position of being only 10% cheaper than xtx but with at least a 15% performance deficit. For the $100 difference, the xtx looks like the better deal.

    AMD would have been wiser to release these at the same time with RTX 4080. I imagine some people who could have otherwise chosen between the two will just go for 4080, instead of waiting. If anything, the recent crypto craze era probably taught people not to wait.

    And taught people that unregulated is cool, right up until the point at which somebody flys to the Bahamas with all your cash.

    I think exactly the same, the price difference between the two cards makes no sense.

    The only reason to buy the XT is if the XTX is unavailable...

    Serotonin> We have all our motives to want a powerful graphic card.
    Myself, I want above 100FPS at 2560x1440 because my Samsung C27HG70 monitor's FreeSync 2 is a total crap under 100Hz, and I feel that 144Hz is waaaayyyyy smoother than 60Hz.
    Numerous comments seems to think 60FPS is fine. It is not for me now that I have tasted a 144Hz panel ; and I'm sure that I would even prefer a 240Hz one.

    Also, my 45 years old eyes will certainly find FSR somewhat bearable even if it will not be perfect => fluidity before fidelity.
    Twenty years ago I played Crysis at 18-25FPs because I wanted fidelity above all. So I totally understand someone who will spit at FSR or DLSS and would be fine at 30FPS with RT on a mid-range GPU.

    Finally, I also want to test the raytracing even if I think it's more a convenience for the development teams than a real improvement for us players. Games were already magnificent.
    The 7900's RT performance won't be good, but perhaps bearable with FSR 2/3, I hope.


    But, guys, I have a big concern with the 7900XT(X) cards :
    NO Sapphire one !? o_O

    To me, it's a big RED flag. I don't know what to think...

    7900XTX should destroy the 4080 16GB and proves a better value option. All Nvidia have is superior RT performance.

    Nvidia does not like the lose, the 4080Ti should now show up earlier than expected to take that crown. Once its released the 4080 16GB will drop in price to $999 and the 4080Ti will slot in at around the $1200-$1300 range.

    Like it or not AMD just pooped on Nvidia's parade.

    They just haven't shown them yet. Some other companies have only teased theirs.

    Those RT improvements are a concern.
