The 8000 series GPU leak was probably an engineer doing a very specific test. If this was actually meant as a stress-test, we'd be seeing higher numbers

[SpottedHares]

Let’s be honest the number that matters the most will be the price tag. How many times has AMD shot them selves in the foot chasing Ngreedia pricing.

8GB of VRam on a 50 series!? In 2024!? What a mad world

[KevinEF]

8gb of vram on the 50 series? If the 5060 matches the 4070, it needs more vram.

[spoots]

The secret to owning an AMD GPU, is to completely ignore any rumor, leak, or community driven hope, and just buy their discounted last-gen, likely with 2 or 3 free games. See 7700xt for $390 with 3 games currently.

[Tpazmachine]

After this patch, I look forward to my Ryzen 7 3800X still doing a little proud flex like a toddler who ate all his vegetables and still manage Cyberpunk with my 3070 at 1440p :)

monday was my birthday! always enjoy watching these on tuesdays sadly this week i was to busy to watch

[benknapp]

I thinks it's a little unfair to even discuss those benchmarks in regards to RX 8000 performance. We already know their best 8000 series GPU isn't going to be 7x less powerful than the 7900xtx.

[faileeer]

aye, as long as RDNA 4 is priced fine than we good.

[arenzricodexd]

sometimes AMD giving the public the hint so the public will temper their expectation more reasonably. but most often it end up being backfired when people start taking their own twist with it like "AMD had done that purposely to get nvidia off guard and when the actual product comes out it will be nvidia killer."

[uronuklearec]

i dont see why anyone's believing those 8xxx benchmarks, i mean it's literally over 6 times worse than the 79XTX... that OpenCL score is the same as an RX570 i mean come on

[nehalmathew]

5070 should have been 10gbs of vram minimum

[glbernini]

If NEW & IMPROVED cards are hitting stores early 2025 they better start production very soon!

[christopherlafreniere]

I ran the 24H2 on the 5900x and it gave me 10% on CoD with the 7900xtx at 1440p. So not sure if anyone tested but it did improve the frames for my rig on zen 3

[elderman]

Who would've seen this coming? In all seriousness, I don't care about leaks and rumours much. Let's wait and see the official third party reviewers' numbers since AMD's own charts are the least believable thing now

[oimazzo]

We talk engineering sample leaked, basically not to be taken seriously if either bad or good

[danburke]

The RDNA 4 8800xt is 500-600d raster about 4080. Only 16gb. RT is 4070 super area.
Coming out Q4 this year.
I found the pricing unlikely that low in many areas with high 7900xt/gre stock kicking about.
So about £650-700 in uk which will not sell that well.

[einstien]

These benchmarks are early engineering samples. the heck early.

[MrHeHim]

Just saw some benchmarks from Zen 3 CPUs on 24H2 and they also seem to have almost the same uplift as Zen 4/5 😁

Here's to hoping there either sandbagging or targeting a reasonable price, why no both!?

About GPU's using more than 300w, when i ran volt moded HD 7950's in Crossfire (blower types with liquid metal, 1450MHz) with a FX-8320 @4.7GHz under synthetic load it was pulling just over 800 watts from the wall and it heated up a 12x15ft room in an hour. About 400-600 watts under realistic load, depending on the game and settings. That was fun, but also i don't want to be working up a sweat while playing games 😅also wasn't worth it for the latency hit IMO. And it gets loud

Ahh.. the nostalgia of every new generation making the older hardware far cheaper, now it just keeps the same price/performance ratio while introducing slightly stronger hardware. TBH since DX12 GPU's they take forever to be obsolete, before you where SOL when a new DX came out and straight up couldn't play the new games which is why they where so cheap when the new gen came out and that pricing model stuck for some time after DX12 but the manufactures caught on and now were stuck into a static price/performance model.

[MetallicBlade]

Eww... why is nVIDIA still making 8GB GPU's? That was good back in 2017. You can't even max out a lot of newer games under 12GB these days.
