The Radeon RX 8800 XT, one of AMD’s next-generation graphics cards, will enter mass production in mid-December, according to the latest rumors that have surfaced out of China. The rumors, which stem from Chiphell’s zhangzhonghao, suggest that the GPU will deliver ray tracing and raster performance that’s on par with the GeForce RTX 4080, a graphics card that NVIDIA launched in November 2022 for $1,199. See below for some of the rumored numbers, which suggest substantially lower power consumption but higher ray tracing performance vs. the Radeon RX 7900 XTX. (Note that the “Radeon RX 8800 XT” name is unconfirmed.)

Will be interesting. If it had more video memory would be even more interesting. I.light be done with team red video cards this go around.
So what would be the price point for this card?
Knowing AMD lately - $1 less than the 4080, then when the 5000 series does finally come out, they will have some good sales/bundles.
If it's at 7800 XT pricing, it's a win, but if it's $700 or $800, then it will face competition with the 50 series in this category from NVIDIA.
If they can keep the price around $600 it'll be a slam dunk. It'll really come down to RT and encoder performance. If it's not as good in either or both they need to price it accordingly.
