Put them in check lol...people are going to buy regardless...just buy what you want

@@bigbay1159 they're ridiculously overpriced. The 4080 is selling extremely poorly. Nvidia needs competition to bring things back in line.

@Business Man that's basically why they priced them so high.. get rid of 3000 series. And that IS working.

amd will do the same once it catches up lol just see CPU prices

Isn’t it known that the amd aib cards will be as much as 1600? I thought I saw that in a price leak earlier this week. Amd is just as greedy when they can be but I agree 4080 too expensive and I have one lol

13th or 12th?

the vid came out at 9:03 EST. 3 minutes late not early lol

Jayz isn't the first one on my list so yeah

Who can make the pointless video first!

@@eillswim it's not pointless for many of us, it's a first look for those of us who haven't seen it or heard much about it yet

If i plug muh Soundcard in Slot 4 and its a 2.99 slot GPU, it would suffocate the fans of the GPU that are pressed against it. Yeah... some weirdoes like me still use stuff in their PCIe slots other than just the GPU...

Totally agree. I also use itx cases and gear. Even though we can fit the larger card in. Thermals and power consumption are huge factors in a build

I thought the same thing. Plus it can tell you that there's that little bit more room for air to flow into your card and let the fans breathe with something that's say 2.2 compared to a full 3.

I agree with you on that. I finished my ITX build over the summer and the 2.X really helped when choosing my GPU. I did buy the Hyte Revolt 3. Even though it’s technically a three slot card compatible case; I went with the Red Dragon RX 6800 (2.5 slot) for maximum airflow.

@@ZeroB4NG yeah I use a network card for 10gbe and it’s good to know that I can fit it in there. I’m not small form factor but my motherboard was designed before 3+ slot cards were normal

At 2.15, it sounds like an nvme to pcie converter might slip in the next slot. Those are pretty short & wouldn't block much air. 2.75 though, what a joke. Just make it 3 with a triple wide bracket for zero sag.

​@@goldenheartOh Except the PCB of *any* card is exactly 2 slots away from the PCB of the GPU; it's the back of the card that blocks. Fitting even an adapter would require it to be super low profile to fit between the slot and the overhanging GPU cooler. Maybe a U.2 adapter - that would be close to just a cable coming out of the slot.

@@goldenheartOh are you really complaining that the card isn't thick enough? lmao

Like blowing up a watercooling setup with a compressor 😂

@@Kknewkles legit yes. Those were some of the funniest moments. Did I need that info ... no but I may have watched jay cower under the desk multiple times

That's right. We've not had a "Two Idiots" video in forever. I bet that Phil is going to do a kick ass review though.

Why can't he power them up? AMD won't let him yet?

@Chris yet Paul did in his unboxing...

I bought a 6900xt 2 months ago, only $700 and I'm loving it. Still excited for AMD to put nvidia's feet to the fire. I won't get a 7000 series card, but I'll probably be looking at the 8000 or 9000 series when this 6900xt isn't cutting it anymore (or when my kids are old enough for a monster system and daddy gets to build a new machine for them.)

Same... kind of sad now.😀

I got a 6800 for $530, and I'm super happy with it. It's my 3rd amd card, and I got nothing but good things to say about them. I've been running all red systems since 2019 with the 5700xt. Super excited about these cards because of the generational tech improvement. I didn't like the Nvidia approach of just upping the size and power consumption. If you make a gpu the size of a microwave, of course it's going to be faster.

I'm probably sitting out most of this generation as well, but I'm very interested how AMD stacks up this cycle. Saw the preview for the Varja Aero 2, and I both want one, and am pretty sure even a 4090 can't drive it fully yet.

I got a 6900 xt for $700 just last week, and I'm loving it. Excited to see what AMD 7000 brings to the table.

After seeing Gamers Nexus reviewing the range of boards for Nvidia's 40 series, it's nice to see something that you could fit in a mid-sized tower with some care. I've got a full-sized case because I thought I was going to be upgrading my PC a chunk, and I wish I'd gone for a mid. The built in desk in my new house just doesn't have a lot of foot space with the full sized case there. And the aesthetics on that new card just look really clean to me. Here's hoping AMD can get this size war back down to earth.

@Druss The Legend nvidia fanboy 😂

@Druss The Legend nobody did

Yeah, I'd agree with that statement. It looks "clean", no over the top graphics and lights everywhere... sometimes less is more, that being said... it'll be interesting to see what the partner cards look like, kinda hoping for at least one to be available in white or silver to match some of the motherboards that are out there.

@drussthelegend2217good thing there’s a wide variety of AIB cards as well

Leaked benchmarks show it beating the 4080 by like 10-15% the xtx version and xt version beats 4080 by 5%.They don't touch the 4090 tho

@@johnnyboogalo4897 It's kinda hard to beat the 4090 when the design was for performance at all costs. So as long as it comes close it should be a win in my book.

They r not competing 4090 @ $1000. Both of them obviously gonna beat 4080 though

It ain't beating the 4090 I promise you that. This is a 4080 card!!! 4090 IS A BEAST!!!

@@abeidsalim8008 Doesn't have to, 4090 is irrelevant

oooh white or metallic grey with dark red strips, that'll be cool

Pairing the 7900 XTX with a 980 pro heatsink version 😉.

They wont

Say what you want about the prices but Nvidia brougt huge upgrade in performence wise. They won't put anyone to shame.

At least put the 4080 to shame. I doubt that the 4090 will be put to shame tho.

To you zero design and plain black is fantastic?

I doubt they would be better than the 4090 in performance... But if this kicks the 4080s ass.. then its a total win for consumers

The 6000 series have a USB-C port.

Lots of the 20 series cards from Nvidia have a usb c output as well. Sad they dropped that feature for the newer cards, but hopefully AMD will stick with it.

THAT is what will be the SHNITZ !! It will cost more,but it will be well worth it for the performance. How they divvy that X3D around is gonna the question,and how much memory? I just wish that they would quit holding back and put out a BALLS-OUT card now !! They're in position now to do it,do it DAM IT!!😎

I wonder if AMD is going to release the ryzen 7800 as X3D only. there were so many models of cpu released last time around maybe they'll be more focused now.

@@henrym5908 As per the rumours, they might be releasing 3 SKUs 7700X3D, 7800X3D and 7900X3D.

I made switch to AMD CPU build.. then I got a 6700xt for under 300 bucks 4months ago.. I wanted a 6800xt or 6900xt but I knew 7000 series was coming so I didn't want to pay too much. I came from 1070 from it's launch

And the shit is even cheaper!

I'm in the same boat. It's between this and the 4080 (once they drop the price) and I would like the xtx if it can perform just as well as nvidia finally using Oculus link for quest 2

@@jason6213 Agreed. I've had the opportunity to use a RTX 4080 over the last few weeks that a buddy of mine let me unbox and test drive to see if I want to buy it, and I honestly love the card but the price is just all wrong. I could see myself spending $1000 on it at most since it's double the performance of my 3070 Ti and nothing I've played at 4K has made it sweat, but $1200 is just too much of an ask when you can get the 30% - 40% faster 4090 with the extra VRAM for only $400 more. As far as the 7900XTX goes, at this point I'm more concerned with the lackluster 3DMark scores that were leaked as there are now rumors that have allegedly been confirmed by reviewers with the card off the record that the card cripples itself when it gets close to full utilization causing the performance to tank, thus heavily handicapping its 4K performance. If this is actually true, they suspect it has to do with a hardware bottleneck within the card itself whether that be power limit, chiplet architecture, latency, or the GCD silicon itself is yet to be determined though. I really hope they're wrong and it's an issue with 3DMark itself not being updated to work with the new architecture yet though, as no amount of driver optimizations can fix a hardware level defect.

I smiled when he said that... looking forward to Phil's run down

Wait a minute. Just last week, I gave poor Phil over 13 credits

what credit dont you give him?

@@foggy90 Shoot! 13 was all the credits I had. I gave poor Phil all my credits. Since then, I got 6 more, and I’m considering sending 3 to poor Phil. He deserves more credits than we usually give him.

Yes, because you display your case to everyone that visits you? RGB Queen

@@nowaay692 Bro has beef with a person that has taste

I've always thought the reference cards looked great, the LE Vegas for example.

6000 series also look great

First build is so fun!

Just remember to take your time building the rig and enjoy the process. 😜 Out of interest what did you go with? I'm planning a full AMD build myself with an XTX if I can save enough cash for it.

@RogueWraith909 i went with the 7700x, when it was on sale, and the Steel Legend X670E Mobo. Found some great deals on case and RAM etc. Thanks, I will definitely take it slow. I am tempted to see the X3D CPUs, but there is always something better. And the price on the 7700x was a good value.

@@chrispreczewski Yeah absolutely, looks like solid choices. I'm thinking about the same processor but with an Asus X670E-A motherboard. Fun fun fun!

Good luck Chris! It's a great time to be in the market for a build. 👍

Perfect for people like you who can’t plug in a power cable all the way!

Are we still pretending that's an issue?

I think RX 7900 XTX will be ahead by far than 4080 but I'm not sure about RX 7900 XT. If this card gives the same performance as the 4080, it becomes no-brainer choice.

@@berkayjan11 Because of the size and cost difference if it's even close to a 4080 it'll be a win for consumers.

Red bad. (Color, not the company)

@@sirius4k yeah that's a bit annoying, but it's not overbearing.

I have opposite experience, AMD GPU failed in gaming all the time for me, terrible drivers causing instability, terrible compatibility with emulators, a lot AMD only fixes needed to get full performance or any performance in some cases, zero support for NV tech(tho that's on NV). Since i changed to green team i never had any of such problems, you get support for all AMD tech and NV tech so you can choose what gives better effects etc. Not to mention NV just does so much better job with video editing or rendering it's no brainer if it's meant to be used outside of gaming. You of course buy what you want NV pricing is on silly side no denying that so I hope AMD will be successful enough for NV to notice.

I've always had gaming issues with my RX 580 590 and sometimes with the RX 5700. I went to the RTX 3060 3060 Ti 3070 and the 3080 Ti with zero issues in gaming.

This. They seem to be hinting at some advantages when pairing the new gpus with ryzen 7xxx. I don't want to change my cpu for a while still :)

@@dodruku I guess we should be good for a year or so. : ) Ryzen 5xxx RULZ : )
