AMD RX 7900XTX and RX 7900XT Reviews

[Silent_Buddha]

Huh? Who and where? All I've seen is same AMD is promising: if you have issues contact support for RMA.
Recalling all cards due apparently bad batch would be beyond stupid (we already know the vapor chamber design itself is sound)

Oh, rereading that article it appears that it's the wholesalers that are issuing a recall for the cards and not necessarily the AIBs. Of course, depending on argreements between the AIBs and those wholesalers then the AIBs are going to have to handle returns for affected cards regardless (if the recalls weren't already approved by said AIBs in communication with the wholesalers).

Considering there's no records of melting cards, that hashtag doesn't really fit.

How many 4090/4080's actually 'melted'?

The point is maybe wait until your card is actually being tested in the market before you try and capitalize on trending clickbait. I don't hold any special favour for marketing departments of either Nvidia or AMD, both companies have shown their asses in that regard with these recent launches.

I'm not trying to defend anything, just pointing out that what they 'promoted' there is still just as valid (or as invalid, which ever you prefer) as it was back then.

I would sure hate to be the CEO of a company right now that has a huge vapor chamber scandal/problem and have to make a keynote today at some big consumer show.

Some might accuse her of being full of hot air.

Don't worry, they're gonna make helluva splash.

Don't worry, they're gonna make helluva splash.

I hope so. I think their best move would be to get in front of it and acknowledge there is a problem and assure people that they will RMA any affected cards.

Good things happen when you have actual competition in a market segment.

In the GPU space?

that's a CPU perf uplift on the same 6850M GPU

the iGPU looks like an utter failure of an uplift

That's CPU uplift on desktop, nothing to do with laptops nor iGPUs (though 7000X3Ds have the iGPU now too)

Ah, I was going through the slides too fast and was referring to this and thought that was quoted;

Oh, that's Dragon Range, it's meant only for dGPU configurations.
If they would compare iGPUs 7045 series would get beaten silly. It's literally the same CPU as Raphael on desktop and has only the basic 2 CU RDNA2 iGPU.
