I have a 6800 XT. How does 7800XT compare to that?
Also am wondering
Guess we’ll get official benches soon to see
The 7k series is the target generation for HIPS which is the compatibility layer between ROCm and CUDA. All the prior hardware in the consumer space is pretty much a different company and thing. The 7k stuff is like a takeover/bridge for the enterprise stuff.
This is mostly only relevant for stuff like AI, where access to the API is important. It is similar in relevance and scope to how Nvidia open sourced the kernel side drivers for its hardware, but the user space graphics drivers remain proprietary. For the most part, it is likely irrelevant to gaming other than being the next generation. It will likely remain supported for far longer overall because of the restructuring on the development side.
Man I wish computer hardware was still affordable
These are slotting in at their mid range right? And there are no non XT cards there already?
Looks like it. 7700 XT and 7800 XT pricing are so weirdly close, there’s no space for a 7800.
Although terrible for latency, a lot of low end setups will like the extra frames the driver level frame generation may give.
