Official AMD Radeon RX 7000 Series (RDNA 3) Thread

Stupid question I know, but any chance RDNA3 will get faster Ray Tracing with better optimization along the road?

It might be possible. Performance in Call of Duty is way higher than in other titles (actually beating the 4090), which suggests that some sort of optimization can result in big performance increases. The performance profile of the 7900XTX currently seems very weird. It's all across the map. Sometimes it's barely faster than the 6950 XT, on rare occasion it's faster than the 4090, which you really wouldn't expect based on its average performance level.

I think there's more reason to hope for driver improvements than usual. However, a lot of times weird performance like this can be the result of specific hardware quirks and those don't always get fixed.

Id say yes except some RT games are so precisely coded for RTX it may be a challenge. Portal RTX underutilizes RDNA2 RT by up to 90% in one bit I saw... not sure a driver revision can fix that. Itll be a mixed bag but def with perf currently only 15-30% above a 6950 theres room to grow for both raster and RT.

Just want to point out that a few scalped models of the 7900 XTX have sold on Ebay for ridiculous prices, which just goes to show that anything will sell to a few people who basically don't care about money at all, even mediocre products (that are **** products at scalper mark-up).

Sold out quick up here to the COD crowd. Even the badly priced 7900xt to my surprise... I was sure those would eat some dust on the shelves for a bit at those prices.

seems to have a bump in speed over stock

Yeah it seems like initial stock had no problems selling out. Despite being underwhelmed I thought about getting a 7900 XTX. Regardless of its performance relative to the 4090 (which is more than I want to pay for a GPU), it's substantially faster in general than my 3080. If it was in stock I might have ordered one.

However, I am not motivated to fight to get a GPU at these prices, or maybe even in general. If the card is not readily available for purchase, or the AIBs price their cards $100-200 higher then they're not getting a sale from me.

I also won't even consider a 7900 XT unless they cut the price by at least $100, and even then I am not sure I'd be interested.
 
Well, it seems that VR performance is pretty bad, and the card is well off from the 4080, so regardless of what I said above I am basically out on this entire line-up, since VR is primarily where I need more performance. I'd say this is pretty disappointing because RDNA2 seemed like it had closed much of the VR performance deficit. Granted it only matters for the few of of us who play in VR.

Maybe it's a driver problem that can be ironed out because sometimes it's apparently slower than a 6900 XT, but for now it's a bad buy for VR.

Using a year old os why tho...:sherlock:

Its current year needs moar 22H2 Win 11 instead of something that wasnt made for zen4 :yep:

don't think it matters that much and most likely get higher scores with a new win 11 build

price isn't as bad as i thought it would be

Ya $1550 CAD up here for the same model. Range is from $1400-2000 wc. 4080 starts at $1800 CAD. But Id need a good few driver updates to see how it goes.
 
The tuf is ruining some of amd's marketing points with its size though.

AMD deserves some props by actually letting the AIB sell the cheaper reference cards in all markets, MSRP doesn't mean shit if you never have the option of picking up something like the FE locally.

Seems the AIB models have a huge room of improvement due to the 3x8 pins. Some are hitting 23% more than the AMD ones. There's clearly alot of driver issues, and possibly design flaw in silicon causing the bad clocks.

Holy crap almost 3.3ghz... I really hope this is just a driver issue for the lack of scaling.

yeah definitely seems like some bug with those result, hopefully a driver fix can fix it.
 
I tried, but it sold out as I filled out my shipping info on AMD.com. I'll give it another go when things restock. No loyalty, but I'm also in no rush.
