sorted byWhat we do know is that AMD has launched new RDNA3 cards in the pro-segment, with significantly lower power usage at the same specs. This suggests a respin, and a fixing of one of the known problems of gen1 GPU chiplet production. If this is so, the current desktop RDNA3 parts are even less desirable.
There is current debate as to whether the GPU chiplet in the 7900XT desktop card is also going to be used in the 7800XT- this is down to the specs of the pro 7800XT, which people claim has specs that can only be explained if it is using the same chip as the 7900XT. Previously, 'leakers' claimed they had the specs of a NEW chiplet designed for the 7800XT (whose specs were, frankly, too low to make sense, given the existence of the cheaper to make 6800 family with similar performance and better driver support).
Personally I think AMD is now dumping off the cheaper gen1 7900XT- it has proven to be more of a early experiment in GPU chiplet design for AMD, and clearly needs a next gen RDNA4 to overcome all of its short-falls. When people talk of poor VR support (RDNA2 is great at VR- see babeltech), it is a symptom of the 7900xt having so many driver issues, AMD only focuses on making it work with current AAA games, and fixing its power sub-systems. Everything else is not a priority for AMD, who is busy with the next zens, the next RDNA, and the coming console revisions, and console next-gens.
And the ONLY reason this card seems a deal here is because of the absolutely terrible state of Nvidia at this moment- just as Intel's lousy business practices helped make zen1 a big success back in the day.
This is about £200 over priced, but its as good as it gets for now. Almost matches the 6950xt deal in price performance if you sell the game for a good price. It has advantages over the 6950xt though, like better ray tracing, extra 4gb vram and running slightly cooler. (edited)

Also have 7950s for £35 too(!)

Complete guess.
The fall has began.
I wonder what Computex 2023 will be revealing about AMD positioning?
NB: I’m only joking, keyboard warriors need not assemble
However, all current-gen cards have an over-supply problem. Almost all retailers have large stocks of 7900 & 4000-series cards. Put simply, these are not being sold as quickly as they are being produced. It is speculated that NVIDIA may soon cut 4070/4070TI/4080 RRP's to $499/$699/$999. This will force further 7900 cuts.

I tried to get a company to ship me one but they don't do pcs yet. Its mad the difference over the water!
We need futurama tubes to post stuff between countries lol
Tho 750£ buys mostly entry level stuff without scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel.
or
£750 = 1 part of a PC to play on a monitor...
Crazy times we live in.
Good find OP nice!!
I'm just comparing it with other HUKD electronics on here and it seems that this year (post covid) everything is inflated and normally the time when this stuff is meant to come down it doesnt and instead stays at RRP or higher price.
Lets hope not eh!
I might bite under £700.
The whole GPU market still absurdly inflated with manufacturers still on a mining boom come down.
Prices will fall. Looks like they are not shifting much of these.
20GB VRAM, this is more than my current computer!
To pick a quote (slightly out of context!)
'in many cases it even falls behind the RX 6900 XT'

FSR 3.0 still to be released. This is a decent card for the money.
"Bottom line? AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 XT and XTX deliver staggering performance, ample memory, easy compatibility, and software features galore for far less than Nvidia’s latest. They may not unseat the RTX 4090 as the towering raw performance champion, especially if you’re interested in ray tracing, but unlike Nvidia’s price-jacked yet performance-lacking RTX 4080, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX offers stunning value over its predecessor for the same price as before. The 7900 XT, on the other hand, delivers worse value than the flagship and no doubt would’ve been called the 7800 XT (and sold for significantly less) if Nvidia hadn’t already pushed pricing to insane levels with the RTX 4080. Neither the 4080 nor the 7900 XT are particularly appealing at these prices. If you’re already considering spending $899 for the XT, we’d advise saving up some extra pennies and grabbing the $999 XTX instead if you can. It offers a lot more performance in some situations, like Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing enabled."
