I was expecting more...

We'll see how it goes, but the most important score will be the one from the players... as long as it's not review bombed.

Volition has closed down, guess the new Saint's Row game really underperformed.

After the two flops and Embracer's announcement that they would be restructuring and scaling down, the writing was on the wall.

Sad to see a studio that gave us so many great games go, but they had sadly lost its touch.

AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT reportedly outperforms Radeon RX 6800 in 3DMark TimeSpy

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-7700-xt-reportedly-outperforms-radeon-rx-6800-in-3dmark-timespy

I'd take it with a grain of salt since we know that despite time spy scores, 4070 generally performs equivalently to a 6800XT

At least it's a nice performance uplift over the 6700XT and should do short work of the 4060Ti outside of raytracing. Too bad that won't be true for the 7800XT, too.

according to that graph the 7700 XT is 88% of a 6800 XT and The 6800 is 84% of a 6800 XT. That will be a barely notable difference. They are in the same league.

Not from usual source but here's some Starfield performance numbers:

For some reason, they didn't test a 4090. Also it appears 8GB of Vram is enough even at 4k Native + Max Settings. No Stutters or anything. Surprisingly well optimized for a Bethesda game.

Am I the only one to find it weird that the 7900XTX loses to the 4080 at 1080p and 1440p but wins at 4K?

Anyway, it doesn't run too bad on modern cards, but older cards wil struggle to run it at high settings.

Well 7900XTX does have higher memory bandwidth and cache so it makes sense that it edges out against the 4080 the higher resolution you go

Could be, yes.

It's funny how that was the same situation with last gen, but with the roles reversed. Looks lik AMD learned from its mistake while Nvidia didn't learn from it.

My theory is that Jensen found out the performance of the 7900XTX before launch and cut down the 4080 drastically cause he knew he could get away with it. If Nvidia was in the dark, there was no way they would have the balls to price Lovelace the way they did.
