I disagree with the 7800xt part tho. Yea naming scheme is as always manipulative but its not that bad... There is no bad product. only bad pricing. And the new card is the same as its older counterpart. BUT its 200 dollars lower on MSRP which is a huuge difference. completely going away from its older brothers price range. Its the same debait as the RX7/RX8 one is much slower but its half the money at launch times. And compared to 4060 and 4060ti which fails on both counts to be good priced and not be a manipulative 50 tier Die parading as a 60 tier product. Its value proposition of 7800xt is good
Correct me if I am wrong: you are saying that it is okay for the 7800xt to be a weak gpu for it's name, but it is not okay for the 4060 to be a weak gpu for it's name? Afterall, the 6800xt used Navi21 and the 7800XT is on Navi 32.
7800xt should be 7700xt. But 7800xt is priced as 7700xt (comparing to 6800xt msrp).
4060 is priced as 4060 while it should be named and priced as 4050.
Actually the RX 7800XT should've been called RX 7800, because both has 60CUs and 16GiB of VRAM, and the 7800XT has significant gains over the 6800.
I don't get why AMD released a successor to a previously XT named GPU as non-XT, the RX 7600 (successor of the RX 6600XT, both with 32CUs), and then released a previously non-XT GPU as XT, the RX 7800XT (successor of the RX 6800, both with 60CUs).
