This is the best summary I could come up with:
The most important thing about the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card, available today, is its $500 price.
Reviewers agree: its performance is often indistinguishable from the AMD RX 6800 XT, a card released nearly three years ago.
(Nvidia also recently released GPUs that couldn’t always beat their two-year-old predecessors: What has the industry been doing all that time?
The reason today’s reviews of the RX 7800 XT are quite favorable, including ours, is that AMD is cutting against inflation.
I suspect Nvidia and AMD thought GPU buyers had gotten used to price increases.
During the height of the pandemic, the AMD RX 6800 XT’s street price went north of $1,500.

How is a GPU that performs the same as an existing GPU for the same price (old MSRP doesn’t matter today) being spun as an “antidote” of any kind?
