AMD’s RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX Might Have Low Stock!

Let's get started with AMD, Recently, the 7000 series has been in the news quite a bit. AMD themselves released a couple of benchmarks for the pair of 7900 series, and more recently a Geekbench leak for the GPUs also popped up. On that Geekbench leak btw, The 7900 XTX, so the higher-end model did pretty well. In the Vulkan score of the benchmark, it scored almost 180 thousand points. That beats the RTX 4080 by quite a lot since it scores about 155 thousand points. AMD is 15% faster here. There was also an open CL score, but this time it got beat by about 14% by the rtx 4080.

Given that the Vulkan API is mostly for games, that’s great news for gamers. It is likely to be moderately faster than a GPU that costs 20% more. Open CL though is more targeted towards compute stuff like simulation, 3D modeling, and some content creation apps, so the 7000 series might not be the greatest for these things, keep in mind though that this was run on early drivers, so who knows, a little optimization from AMD might make a big difference here.

So yeah, with these preliminary results, the 7900 series looks like it's a better buy for gamers compared to the 4080… that’s if you’re able to buy it. You see, recent rumors have been hinting at a pretty limited supply of GPUs… A couple of weeks ago, we heard that cards from 3rd party manufacturers could be delayed by one or 2 weeks. I know you might say it's debunked because computerbase said that at least 2 manufacturers confirmed launch day GPUs, but apparently, those are likely to still be reference models. Just not made by AMD.

What’s more concerning is the recent report from igorslab. According to his sources in hong kong and Taiwan, they are still having vBios and driver issues. Driver issues are not a huge deal. Bios on the other hand? Well, that needs to be figured out before the card actually ships. Apparently, it has to do with memory leaks that make the GPU freeze.
