The 7800XT from AMD is here! BUT they made some changes to the lineup that make this card more confusing for consumers than it needs to be...

    The naming suggests this is a successor to the 6800XT. AMD says it's a successor to the 6800 (non-XT). Performance and Navi 32 Die suggests it's a successor to the 6700XT. Decent card for the price, but the naming is off. Thanks for calling that out, Jay

    Finally, a complete gpu generation where I'm not tempted to upgrade. Wait... that's a bad thing isn't it?
  • @phi11ysphinest
    Valid points made, but I'm loving my 7800XT and I got it for less than $500 USD which is around the price of a new 6800XT (which are sold out at my local store). For people like me coming from a much older card (1660ti), I think the value and performance are there and the difference is night and day.
  • This is actually the perfect mid-range card of this generation with pricing coming back to affordability.
  • @jessehogie
    Thank you Jay for comparing to a 5700XT, I have one and am considering an upgrade.
  • @stefensmith9522
    I have the 6800 non xt. It overclocks like a beast, just slide everything all the way over and no loss in performance, doesn't crash, doesn't run hot, it's two slot design (why I chose non xt) fits perfect in the fractal terra case... I can't be happier with it.
  • @killmaster46
    Idk to me it seams like a better value then a 4070
  • One thing to note amd driver updates improve gpu performance overtime so i would asume the 6800xt is with the latest drivers which has enhanced its performance since its release and I would expect the same from 7800xt
  • @unrealfeedzz
    Wished we could see a 6950xt here since merc 319 is like 40-50$ more than this red devil 7800xt
  • Jay, I'm so glad I found your channel so many years ago. I appreciate all of you guys and the work you do. Thank you so much!!!!
  • @asbestinuS
    Thank you for including the 5700 XT. I still run this graphics card and after a power outage a few months ago it has some weird stuff happening, so I'm currently looking for a new graphics card (but power usage is a very important factor for me)
  • @tommyrockstar100
    Great video and awesome that you added the 5700xt, thats what i am using and was wanting a upgrade so this definitely helps seeing the comparisons
  • @Ersanoman
    At 3:26 there is a little mistake with the RX 6800 XT. Its a Navi21 not Navi22. And as always super informative upload Jay
  • @arklanuthoslin
    Hey Jay and team, a small accessability note - I'm colorblind, protanopia, aka red/green colorblind. The colors of your charts (i.e. at 8:56) are almost impossible for me to distinguish, colorwise. They look nearly identical. I have to judge which is which by their position. Just something to maybe take in to consideration. love the channel overall, first 7800 xt review video i've watched, even though I sub to gamer's nexus as well.
  • @JoeStuffzAlt
    I don't mind the 3080 card being on there. More data = better. Not to mention before I went AMD, I sometimes had a hard time comparing Nvidia and AMD by model numbers, and I know a lot of people that know only Nvidia cards, so it gives a frame of reference.
  • @MWONG06
    Thank you for including the 5700 XT in the charts! It seems AMD is targeting the Radeon 5000 series and GeForce 20 series card owners with the latest cards. I typically skip generations before upgrading so the double in performance vs the 5700 XT is perfect for me.
  • @drwalka10
    Wait, you’re disappointed that this card got a price cut and slightly better performance ?
  • I am planning on building with the 7800xt(I got a reference model before they sold out thankfully) and am upgrading from a 1070ti so for me the difference between 7800xt and 6800xt as an upgrade for me are kinda negligible considering AMD is good about improving cards through driver updates so I am frankly happy with my decision to wait for the release of the 7800xt despite the naming confusion and mildly lack luster improvement over last-gen.
  • @ZeaswAm
    Thanks Jay for doing a comparison of the 6800 xt and 7800 xt from the same manufacturer ! I do think it matters a lot. Though, non XFX 6000 series cards are rare or marked up way too much where I'm from so I think the 7800 xt is a good compromise, that's gonna be different for everyone but at the end of the day what matters is what's available in your budget when you're able to buy.
  • @dillonhuitt2386
    I think if they marketed and sold this as a non XT it would be a lot better received. Then they would be able to later release the actual xt model. However, for the price to performance it seems like a great deal
