Am I missing the vent? Or does everything just stay in the case? Solid pic's either way.

Hyped for the review. 🙂

Noice. There is a lot of talk on the net about the architecture and the hardware capabilities of these cards. One thing that stands out to me is the work around built in to circumvent the inherent slowness of the PC platform. Which makes sense now but clearly its time to reinvent the PC platform. Just saying. 😛

They look nice and well built. I'm looking for 7600/4060 next year.

they look fantastic. as if designed by UAC to fit the Doom guy's PC.

I'm assuming you're talking about ventilation slots on the I/O Plate. Those vents were borderline useless on anything that didn't have a blower style cooler e.g. https://www.guru3d.com/miraserver/images/2011/r7900/IMG_5449.jpg https://www.guru3d.com/miraserver/images/news/2012//r7970_MG_0181.jpg

The cards look amazing! Hope this will be a success for AMD. Tough timing with the high inflation and general instable economy of the world though.

It's not like any industry can just stop making their things, no matter the economy. Besides, there are still plenty of wealthy people in the world. 4090 was instantly sold out when it was released. Since then there has been some stock again, but still, point was made. There have been some rumours about the limited initial quantity of the 7900 cards, so it's possible AMD will be easily able to sell everything.

yet another AMD bottlenecked by memory 🙁

Looking at these specs I compiled, this 7900XTX should beat the crap out of 4080 in raw raster performance... assuming equal shader processor performance... although ray-tracing performance unknown... and if it sells for that price 😱

7900 XTX vs RTX 4080

Architecture:       5nm vs 4nm
Shader Processors   12288 vs 9728
Memory            24GB G6 vs 16GB GDDR6X
Memory Bus        384-bit vs 256-bit
Memory Speed        20 Gbps vs ? Gbps
Infinity Cache        96 MB vs 64 MB (L2 cache)
Bandwidth        960 GB/s vs 716.8 GB/s
TBP            355W vs 320W
Pixel Rate       ? GPixel/s vs 280.6 GPixel/s
Texture Rate       ? GTexel/s vs 761.5 GTexel/s
Price           ~€1200 (assuming 1:1 with dollar + 20% VAT) vs €1500

Great cards, I dun see RGB junk, 2 slot, HDMI 2.1b love it for 4K VRR performance... Cannot wait to see how it stacks up against 4080 RTX.

960GB/s of memory bandwidth and 5.3TB/s MCM bandwidth??? How is this bottlenecked by memory? If anything AMD normally bottleneck their cards by forcing hard power and OC limits like they did with the 6000 series only being able to push memory from 2000MHz to 2150MHz, unless this is what you mean and therefore we more than likely won't be able to push the memory any further. But 960GB/s should be plenty.

Relax... its a guess from this article - I just did a 1:1 conversion. I'm sure it will be more in EU. "Radeon RX 7900 XTX will have 24GB of GDDR6 VRAM and the complete 12,288 shader cores, it will probably get close to the RTX 4090 thanks to its infinity cache as well. As mentioned AV1 en/decode is present. TBP is 355 Watt, and this card will cost $999 with availability on December 13th, just before Christmas. And that about sums it up for the info we can share."
