Having even less memory bandwidth than a 7800XT seems wild. Ars pointing out how it doesn't even meet a 6800XT (2020) seems dead on. I feel like this card is a smart idea. Surely there are some 7900's that had not one but two of it's six MCD fail, and this lets AMD move those parts. But man it's so marginal a part by comparison, loses so much of its oomph for lack of memory bandwidth & cores. I was thinking I might get a 7800XT. I saw this was coming out & was interested, especially given how near the price is. It seems to be a tiny bit faster, but usually <10%. But I might end up buying it anyways! It'll be interesting to see what's next, but AMD cancelled their big multi-chip RDNA4 that was supposed to show up this year. Hopefully their monolithic RDNA4 offering does decently, when it finally arrives. But the 7900's might be the fastest for a while. And more importantly for my dev centric interests, I would like to play around with some ML stuff. There's no signs that I'm aware of that AMD will support their ROCm platform on anything but flagship consumer cards (although some folks report having cobbled together support for their 7800's). Markedly unlike Nvidia, who has kept CUDA widely available across their consumer cards. The GRE is expensive & doesn't perform well, but it's the minimum bar to play on AMD, and nothing better seems to be in the pipeline from the Red team. https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon/en/latest/docs/compatibility.html https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon/en/latest/docs/com...
