    Please put this 48 CU die in a 7600xt for $320 with 12gb vram. Probably 10% faster than the 6700xt but same price+ new ai fearures

    I’m more amused there’s a workstation W7500, which unironically would’ve been a great desktop RX 7500 8 GB card, a tremendous performance uplift from the pitiful RX 6500 XT

      You’re paying for ECC memory and certification in tools like autocad and solidworks, this isn’t meant for us

        It has the same physical memory as the consumer cards, it just allows in-band ECC which is a software solution. There is no additional manufacturing cost to including in-band ECC. Nvidia even enables the option on the 4090.

        You’re right that you’re paying for the certifications though.

          Yeah I thought as much, but you are still paying for it (as well as the extra bit of ram needed to make that work I assume) in that price tag

            Extra RAM would be if they used out-of-band ECC, which is where you use extra physical dies and a wider bus to handle the storage and transmission of parity data.

            These use in-band ECC, which uses the existing memory chips/bus for parity. You have to toggle it in the driver, and with ECC enabled you don’t get the full memory size nor the full bandwidth (you lose 1/8th of each). As far as I’m aware, no GDDR6 GPUs use out-of-band ECC.

            It’s purely a market segmentation thing, there is nothing physically stopping the RX7700 from running the exact same ECC mode as the W7700.

              Thanks for clearing that up! My assumption was these cards would have a little extra memory so they could hit the 16GB with ECC turned on.

              And yeah, it is just market segmentation but you still have to pay for it unfortunately 🤣🤣

      I mena, just get a 7900 XTX instead. Both have the same ROCM support, but one has more VRAM.

      TBH, I would have expected the Pro cards to be CDNA, compute cards, but they are RDNA (gaming architecture).

      4080 is a much better deal when you are already 200 dollars from it, as everything is guaranteed to work, and is MUCH faster (this is pretty much a weaker 7800 XT).

      4090 would still be recommended, especially as it has some Titan-Quadro DNA still in it, like ECC memory.

      I just don’t get why anyone would want that If you’re concerned about power consumption, Nvidia is just miles ahead.

        Before buying a new computer in 2026, my current one has the Ryzen 5 1600X. Nvidia has a CPU overhead problem, I might go back to Nvidia on my new build but just a GPU to hold me off for now. Under $350. Currently with the GTX 1080.
