Finally getting some (closer to) mainstream video cards from AMD. Still feels overpriced but a lot better than $750 for a 7900xt.

    The pricing on the Radeon RX 7800 XT will come in around $499 USD while the Radeon RX 7700 XT has an SEP of $449 USD.

    Still unreasonably expensive. These cards should be at least $150 cheaper.

      Then don’t buy it, they keep the price because people keep buying over priced GPUs.

      The good thing is, older AMD cards tend to drop in value a lot more compared to nVidia. So now that these cards have been announced, expect a decent price drop in the near future for m the 6000 series cards (which are still pretty good, especially if you consider the price/performance ratio vs nVidia).

    Meh, nothing like having the official AMD video drivers crashing several times a day on Ubuntu with a flagship Sapphire RX 7900 XTX. And if you’re extra lucky it will kick you out of the session too.

        Yeah I don’t think I’ve had a single crash with the mesa drivers after my overclock was dialed in. And I’ve ran some pretty janky stuff (like my vega 56 that was flashed with a 64 bios).

        Are you talking from personal experience? If so, I might give them a try.

        I tought AMD official drivers where the best option for graphics and performance.

            Nah, I may play around with raytracing in the future, but it’s not a must for me.

            Well, I will give the open source drivers a try, thanks.

        How is ROCm these days? I remember needing the official AMD drivers for OpenCL stuff a while ago and ROCm was in very early development.

          For ROCm you need the official drivers. For OpenCL, RustiCL (OpenCL implemented over Vulkan) works perfectly for me.

      How are Intel’s drivers? My new PC has an A750 because I like to live dangerously. It’s been great in Windows for the few games I want to play (the older stuff that has performance issues with Arc I’m largely not interested in or can play on my old PC)
