The specs of the 7700XT are higher than expected, and very close to those of the 7800XT. Sure, it loses 4GB and some memory bandwidth, but it's only 6 CUs less and has higher clocks.

The question may not be who'll buy the 7800XT for only $50/60€ more, but why not save that money and go for the 7700XT. But we'll see soon enough.

One thing's for sure, tho, the 6700XT is almost as fast as the 4060Ti, and so the 7700XT should be faster than the Nvidia card (except for ray tracing).

Well those things do matter a lot since according to hardware unboxed, AMD claims there's a 20% performance advantage for the 7800XT based on AMDs own numbers because there's a 30% memory bandwidth gap. That along with more Vram, I'd get the 7800XT. Hell even a 6800 which costs about the same as a 7700XTs launch price would be a better option since a 6800 should perform about the same as a 7700XT while having 16GB of vram.

I am mainly interested on tech and results around it since it's interesting. A lot of games that are UE5 are killing even the 4090 and even a 4090 is requiring DLSS 2/Frame Generation to really get back up to speed. So whether people like upscaling/frame generation or not, it is very much becoming vital to run modern games. So we all do need to make sure our GPU manufacturers can actually provide good upscaling/frame generation because the games will only continue to get heavier and heavier.

The fact it has become vital spells doom for us later on down the line, hence why I'm not overly excited about ppl drooling over AI this, fake frames that.

Yea but I don't think there is much we can do to avoid that doom other than hope that the upscalers look close enough to Native. Too many game developers went on board with UE5 to skimp out on all those future games. So DLSS/Frame Generation/FSR/FSR3 will be a pretty big selling point as more of these UE5 games start to come out. Least not every developer is using UE5 tho.
