Official 6x00 Stock Thread(or lack thereof)

The intersting stuff is that AMD is absorbing part of costs and lower their revenue.

[Trunks0]

it's GlobalFoundries

https://gf.com/press-release/globalfoundries-announces-extension-amd-wafer-supply-agreement-guarantee-supply

i think they still make the IO chip on Ryzen

Yea it probably means AMD is helping fund it old foundry to help get it beyond their current 12nm process.

[badsykes]

Seems the signs point that ETH mining will be dead from summer and on,.I can wait until summer.It will be very intersting and can't miss that.Also this and coupled with AMD strnegthen the supply chain should be enough to a decent new-gen launch in autumn.

Looks like the 6nm refresh might in fact be using RDNA2 for low end gpus. Itd save the 5nm supply for the mid or upper mid to high end.

Unless there is a delay in the merge there will be a flood of 3000 series Nvidia and 5000/6000 series AMD cards that hit the market used and at bottom dollar pricing. If you're patient and the stars align it could be the perfect time to pick up a used card.

Who knows, I might even sell a few.

Have you seen the video in the twitter link i posted ? A dev from ETH recommends do not buy gpu's anymore.Also he talks about recoup the costs with the mining rig.If this guy talks like this seems the chances will be very high to be activated in this summer.So no more delays.
I am patient but some people around here bash me...

Looks like the refresh will stay on 7nm now and just put in slightly faster memory at 18gbps:

6950XT is planned for mid-april. There's no 6850XT etc as far as I know 🤷

All this launch is going to be is an air cooled 6900 XT LC?

And about the same 'availability' as we're dealing with now?

Right then I don't see a ton of 6000 users crashing their doors down to upgrade.

Looks like a better boost clock tho and being aircooled should be cheaper than the LC ver... maybe...

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-6950xt-rumored-to-have-a-boost-clock-over-2-5-ghz-and-tbp-of-350w

According to him, AMD’s upcoming Radeon RX 6950XT card is to feature a boost speed over 2.5 GHz, which means it is a least 250 MHz higher than the existing air-cooled model and about 65 MHz faster than the Liquid Edition.

I suppose they refined or binned the 7nm process over time.

I really can't see the point of either the 3090ti or 6950XT. The next gen is due within the next 12 months or less so just wait for that. IMHO these refreshes are just pointless.

agreed

but i think july, august or maybe september latest for the 7000's


.......

the 7970 came out in July 22 and was a good card
they should try hard for the same release day for the 7900 xt

My best guess is AMD launches in August of '22 and nVidia late September.

and if the Navi 31 at about 400 watts

https://wccftech.com/amd-rdna-3-gpu-radeon-rx-7000-gpus-confirmed-to-feature-5nm-6nm-process-mcm-monolithic-designs/

is faster than lovelace at 750 watts

do you think lovelace will be delayed ?

[acroig]

No, nV will launch and their PR machine will go into overdrive.

if that thing is 700 to 1000 watts not even NVidia's PR machine can fold space and bend time or hyperdrive thru a star to make that look good

NVIDIA’s Next-Gen Ada Lovelace ‘GeForce RTX 40’ GPUs Could Be Twice As Fast & Twice As Power Hungry Than Ampere

they have been warring about high power for months now
what is the 3090's max power draw 450+

i think they are pushing lovelace to the max to stay up with AMD and MCM with a monolithic GPU and a big one even at 5nm

......

i hope RDNA 3 will be a lot better off on and not over 500 watts

Damn. When it gets to the point that your GPU needs to be on its own 15A circuit, I'm out.

[acroig]

Let's stay on focus please. What people buy or don't buy does not belong in this thread.

[Sasquach]

Damn. When it gets to the point that your GPU needs to be on its own 15A circuit, I'm out.

i hope it uses 1.21gigawatts and creates enough energy for time travel!

How the hell do these things use up so much power?

I remember back in the olden days we approached 300w and that was considered high. But it seemed like each new generation tried to keep it around 300 or less

My R9 290 tops up at i think 275watts.....my 6600 is like half that.

Nitro+ 5700XT barely touches 225W. With the fans it might peak at 250W. Hell, looking at my logs my brokedick Vega 64 OC mega-heater stayed under 250W (plus fan).

AMD, Nvidia GPU Pricing Trends Lower as Supply Improves

In the EU mostly it seems. But its a good sign.

[Trunks0]

Noticed that stock seems to be a non-issue in Canada today... seems like both Canada Computers and Memory Express have all the various 6xx0 stuff in-stock. ME has even opened back up on-line ordering for it

[LordHawkwind]

If my 850w power supply isn't sufficient I'm out. I'll happily stick with what I've got or go back to AMD if 7900 is reasonable.

[Nascar24]

No more stock issues for AMD cards, now they need to start selling them for at least close to what AMD.com has for prices!

If they remain in stock the prices have to go down

More than a few 6900XT's at Microcenter dropped over $200 today. The Toxic 6900XT I've had my eye on dropped from $1799 to $1579.

Imagine spending $1579 on a GPU to enable ray tracing in Dying Light 2, only to get 30 FPS at 1440p.

Meh price went up 50$ here at newegg. Long ways from the $1000 msrp.

If you want to play wit RT you need nVidia RTX and DLSS for the FPS.

ASRock recommends a 1000w power supply for this 6900XT Formula OC but it seems to run just fine with 850w. I think manufacturers overestimate this on purpose for customers who have a ton of other devices competing for power.

No more stock issues for AMD cards, now they need to start selling them for at least close to what AMD.com has for prices!

The AMD drop currently requires the use of anti captcha services and queue buster software to have any shot at getting one on Thursday morning. It's a total sh1t show every single time and these services are completely hammered during the drops.

If the stock situation is really improving it sure isn't for reference cards. They are sold out on 6800 cards within a few minutes every time. That is if you can even get a ticket with low wait time which is right up against impossible.

Was it the limited or the extreme? I almost picked up a limited at one point until I found out only the extreme has the XTXH chip.

[Crawdaddy79]

Looks like the extreme is LC only? The price on that dropped $300 as well to $1789 or something.

SKU for the $1579 card is 11308-11-20G (damn looks like NewEgg wants $2100+ for it)

This is the only XTXH equipped sapphire card from what I've read. The air cooled version, and the LC limited edition, both have fine boost clocks but are not XTXH.

$2400 on newegg. And while I would like to have one, and it would be better than my ASRock Formula, that much money was pushing it even for me and I have very little restraint when it comes to this stuff.

It might be cheaper to get a Formula OC and then just put a water block on it.
