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.

That's why I was just guessing.

And well, we''re not naive enough to belive AMD's claims, are we? We'll have to wait until the reviews go live to see how they really perform.
