Although much cheaper at the start

Yesterday we learned that the Radeon RX 7700 XT will be slightly faster than the RX 6800 , and at the same time we suggested that the RX 7800 XT will not be much faster than the RX 6800 XT. It turned out that for the first the situation is even worse.

According to well-known insider kopite7kimi, the RX 7800 XT scores about 19,000 points in 3DMark Time Spy. And this is about the level of the RX 6800 XT. According to the aggregate data of numerous tests on the official 3DMark website, the RX 6800 XT boasts an average score of 19,277 points. That is, the new generation card will be exactly at the level of the old generation card. Yes, the first one may formally be a little faster, but overall this does not change the picture.

For AMD, this situation is clearly not very profitable. The RX 7700 XT looks good compared to its predecessor. The new model starts at a slightly lower price and is significantly faster. But the RX 7800 XT is not ahead of its predecessor. But here you need to understand that AMD’s new products are as close to each other as possible. That is, the RX 7700 XT, judging by the parameters, should rather be called the RX 7800.

It’s also worth noting that the RX 7800 XT starts at $500, meaning it’s only slightly more expensive than the RX 6700 XT at launch, while the RX 6800 XT started at $650. True, right now the latter costs just about $500, which is what they are asking for for the new generation.
