Recently, AMD officially updated several PPTs, comparing its own Radeon RX 7900 series with Nvidia's competitor GeForce RTX 4080. Because the performance of 4080 was not yet unblocked at that time, AMD only compared with the RX 7900 series in terms of parameters.

From the perspective of various comparisons, AMD only wants to tell everyone one thing, that is, their RX 7900 series has the advantage of being in all aspects compared to RTX 4080. specifically graphics card is smaller in size, more friendly in installation, lower power consumption, and much cheaper in price. It is also equipped with a DP 2.1 interface that players applaud.
Although there are many cases of burning out the interface, GeForce RTX 4090 is still the most powerful graphics card at present. Judging from the performance of the AMD RX 7900 series, it is still a role in running, and only some scenarios can be the same as its competitors. However, AMD's advantage lies in its lower price. The price of the public version is less than 8,000 yuan, while the public version of 4090 has already been priced at 12,999, and the non-public version is said to have reached around 18,000 yuan, which is extremely terrible.

Perhaps AMD discovered that the RX 7900 series cannot fight 4090 head-on, and temporarily changed the "strategy" and turned around and "attacked" this RTX 4080 that everyone complained about. If there is a reason why RTX 4090 is expensive, then RTX 4080 seems to be more "IQ tax". From the perspective of parameters, the GDDR6 of 4080 only has 16GB of memory, which is still a backward 256BIT. The overall configuration cannot be compared with the RX 7900 XT, and the power consumption is 20W higher.
The key is the price. The RTX 4080 public version is priced at US$1,199 (approximately RMB 8,489.3), and the high-end model has exceeded five digits. The panel parameters are not as good as the RX 7900 series. If these two graphics cards are compared under the same conditions, AMD will definitely be better. Besides, Lao Huang’s RTX 4090 has not been sold yet, so let alone 4080.

Nvidia did not intend to reduce the pricing of RTX 30 series graphics cards, so it greatly increased the price of RTX 40 series and supported the layout. Although the performance is excellent, it has been criticized by many netizens. At the same time, it also seems that AMD's cost-effectiveness is much higher. can buy products with similar performance as half of the price of RTX 4090. AMD's official is also "persuading" everyone not to buy "IQ tax". Who is not tempted?
Of course, this is just discussed aside the specific performance. No matter how good the hardware is, it depends on the actual performance in the end. It is said that the main reason why many netizens do not buy AMD graphics cards is that the driver is average stability, and the adaptability of games and software to AMD products is lacking. When updating the Windows system, the driver will even be overwritten. If AMD solves problems such as software adaptation optimization, then "AMD YES" will of course be called out.
