Why the heck they used the same nomenclature as the 7970 series from the past.I know there is an RX in front but still will be confusing.

running out of numbers not to reuse them





now i still got my 9 year old HD 7970's here somewhere maybe i can put them up on ebay for 1500 each soon
no they are water cooled so 1750 each

i kid but it will happen some AH will do it
hope a miner gets them

[pax]

Ya if they went into the 5 figures itd be wack... Radeon RX 12 000. Just changing the 2 letters in front is fine. HD then RX next could be RT.

Knowing that MSRP means little now man... hoping against hope for some sanity next gen.

any word on a proof-of-stake date ?

if that doesn't work don't plan on any sanity

For ETH was supposed to be last year but havent heard anything since. Theres also a slew of other coins that do proof of work... tho kinda hope they dont have anywhere near the popularity of ETH.

The Merge and The Aftermath
It’s June 2022 and Ethereum has moved to proof of stake. What happened to all of the miners who were using GPUs to mine Ethereum? Well, since mining rigs are purpose-built, meaning they’re better for mining one specific coin, the GPUs went back into the hands of gamers while crypto miners dove head first into the ASIC market.

A significant rise in demand for ASIC mining equipment once Ethereum officially transitions to PoS is not hard to imagine, and that demand is likely to outpace the available supply – a supply which has already been affected by global supply chain disruptions due to Covid-19.

The last 18 months have been very profitable for ETH miners in particular. Many of them began their mining journeys with their personal gaming computers, and have since significantly expanded their mining arsenals by building dedicated GPU mining rigs and farms. This was their first foray into full-time crypto mining, so what now? Well, there’s a slim chance they’ll be willing to give that up, and it’s very likely they’ll keep mining simply because they know mining works. It was these 18 months that helped people see the profit potential, and further turned those who were just exploring their curiosity into hardcore miners.

In light of The Merge, it won’t come as a surprise when these miners sell their used GPUs (gamers rejoice) and start buying ASICs, transitioning to Bitcoin mining. If you’re following our line of logic, an increase in demand and a decrease in supply will cause ASIC prices to jump, making it increasingly difficult to obtain a miner.

they call it PoS


but mining has always been a POS

June is fine but anytime before the next gen gpus comes out would be perfect.

I sold the Vega56 with 400euros / 460$.

[pax]

Man thats more than I paid for my vega 64... so long ago I forget when I bought it... 2.5 to 3 years ago?

Vega line apeared in 2017.I mistakenly inflated the dollar sum a bit.Now i corrected it.

[pax]

Still more I bought the Vega 64 for 375$ on an ebay sale. It was quite some time after it was released tho almost 2 years IIRC.

i bought mine when it launched in 2017 from UK and payed 450 euros / 500$ with international shipping.

Good news if true but those rumors have been repeated on a regular basis now so we can be optimistic. The anticipation for this next gen is probably one of the highest... I had wanted the HD 7900 way back when but had bought the HD 6950 so had skipped it. Not this time tho Mammon willing.

The power usage of 500-600w we are regularly getting for the nvidia part sound insane when you know they went back to tsmc on 5nm from samsung 8nm... And if they still cant beat the n31 that says a lot.

[bill dennison]

if true and RDNA 3 is 20% to 40% faster than NV lets say at rasterization only and say only 5% faster at Raytracing with lower power requirements
and 4090 does draw like 600+ watts

wonder if it will follow on to RDNA 4 & 5 like Ryzen did
5 years of Ryzen gives AMD a very big advantage over NV with chiplets, RDNA 4 will most likely have 3 GPU Chiplets

now lets say chiplet RDNA 3 is 10% to 30% cheaper than NVidia's monolithic Lovelace design from much better yields and AMD cutting MSRP to the bone like they did with Ryzen 1


lets hope it chokes at mining and mines worse than RDNA 2

..............
it's going to be fun watching the NV diehards justifying still buying NV with a thermonuclear PSU

[pax]

Itd be nice because I cant see putting more than 4000$ on a new rig when the new stuff comes out... Id like to keep it at 3500$ CAD actually.

Radeon RX 6900 XT Might Get Beat By A Mid-Range RDNA 3 Graphics Card

Greymon55 is a popular, Digimon-themed hardware news leaker, and he's been busy lately. Early this month, he tweeted vaguely about a product entering its "bring-up" phase, which is the testing phase after "tape out" when a company receives its first shipment of etched dice from the foundry.

[Sasquach]

I guess it might seem like its becoming more and more true....

But will it be priced accordingly?
Or is this "midrange part" gonna be priced more like a high end part?

[pax]

I think itll beat it in RT but raster not sure... I mean they are talking about a part with a 128 bit bus. Sure itll have as much if not more Infinity Cache but still.

All the new cards will be very power hungry.

[Mangler]

The 7900xt will probably be a little more reasonable, the 7950xt is probably like the 3090 ti, max performance, no matter the cost.

don't need 32 GB eating watts and not used at 4k

and 500 watts with 32GB is good compared to 600 to 850 for the 4090

now we know the real reason for the Lovelace name

4090 in Deep Throat 2022

32gb of what... hoping they don't go with a stupidly tiny bus size again, and not slow ass gddr6
