    So far this gpu gen has been a disappointment on both sides for me so I hope these next announcements are good.

      I can’t see how they will be. We know the performance of the high end is not a large generational improvement and they can’t compete with what they’ve already launched. That means what’s left is to release… a 7800 that performs about the same as a 6800? Wow.

      All they can do is price them aggressively so that they are more appealing than the 6000 generation, but I would be shocked if they do. It hasn’t been their MO recently.

        Aggressive pricing is pretty much the only thing I’m hoping for.

          if they announce a 7700xt thats cheaper than what I just paid for my 6700xt, I dont know if I’m going to maintain my rationality.

          and just to be clear, I want the midrange cards like x7xx to be more affordable, Just annoyed that this announcement came after giving up and buying a new card.

        Exactly.

        Be fully of despair and you ahve no where to go but up.

        be full of hope and you have no where to go but down.

    I just bought a 6700xt.

    Which means you are all welcome for my heroic sacrifice that has made them announce new cards.

    I’d like to upgrade my graphics card, and I’m honestly wanting effectively a 7700xt equivalent. I’d like to not spend over $500, but I’ve got a 5700XT and I don’t want to just go one generation up at this point. So I guess I wait.
