Will the 7850 come down in price?

EarnSomeRespect · Sep 8, 2013

Because of the release of the 8000 and 9000 series? I was hoping so that I could get the 7870.

Hard to say, probably some, but its fairly inexpensive, now.

Sakkura · Sep 8, 2013

Not because of the 8000 series, because that's just the 7000 series with a different number on. The 9000 series, well maybe, but I don't think there's much room left for the prices on the 7000 series to drop. The 9000 series should offer at least equally good performance per dollar, and at some point substantially more.

The 7790 is the replacement for the 78xx's so the chances are they about as cheap as they are going to get at the moment because when they're gone they're gone.

Sakkura · Sep 8, 2013

Mousemonkey :

The 7790 isn't a replacement, it's a complement.

Sakkura :

The rumour was on Fud a while ago http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/30865-radeon-hd-7850-1gb-going-eol so it's only a matter of time to see how it pans out.

Sakkura · Sep 8, 2013

That only mentions the 1 GB 7850, not the 2 GB 7850 or the 7870. It makes sense, because the 1 GB 7850 was a bit of a stopgap solution when Nvidia attacked the gap between the 7770 and the original 2 GB 7850. Now they have the 7790 in there.

Sakkura :

"Will the 7850 come down in price?" was the title of this thread and that link is about the 7850 as was my post, why is it you seem to have a problem with anything I post about AMD cards?

Sakkura · Sep 8, 2013

Mousemonkey :

Because it seems to be inaccurate. The article doesn't say what you're saying. The 7850 1 GB disappearing doesn't say anything at all about what will happen to the pricing of the 2 GB version, let alone the 7870 (which he was also inquiring about).

Where in this thread does the OP state 1GB or 2GB? All I can see is a question about the 7850 in general so please point out that defining sentence or post that rendered my own post inaccurate.

Sakkura · Sep 8, 2013

He doesn't, which is exactly the point. Even if the 1 GB version disappears, there would still be the 2 GB version, so the 7850 won't be entirely gone. And the 7870 will also still be there - and yes, he asked about the 7870 too.

Mousemonkey · Sep 8, 2013

Well both the 1 and 2GB cards have been on back order at the site I use and the 7870's don't have the most expansive selection, for me that site is usually a fair indication of what's available as they don't tend to have huge stockpiles so if they don't have it in stock there may be issues and in this case it seems to point to EOL from what I can see.

EarnSomeRespect · Sep 8, 2013

OK I was talking about the 2gb version of the 7850 and the 7870.

Mousemonkey · Sep 8, 2013

TBH I don't think it really matters at this stage as both of them are the ones most likely for the chop if there is also any truth to the rumour that AMD are going to release something by years end but it won't be on the new node.

EarnSomeRespect · Sep 14, 2013

Mousemonkey :

So they would chopped.... but would something more powerful take their place for the same price?

Sakkura · Sep 14, 2013

Well, their next GPU series is just around the corner.

Mousemonkey · Sep 14, 2013

Sakkura :

Maybe they are just gong to "complement" the existing range?

Sakkura · Sep 14, 2013

They'll be sold concurrently for a while, but they use a new architecture. So it's not like the 7790 which is the same old GCN.

EarnSomeRespect · Sep 14, 2013

Sakkura :

So, they probably won't get chopped or....

I'm a little confused her guys.

Mousemonkey · Sep 14, 2013

Sakkura :

I saw a rumour that had a couple of them using Bonaire GPU's.

Mousemonkey · Sep 14, 2013

EarnSomeRespect :

Common sense says they will, there is only so much room on a FAB line and if you're ramping up for future production it makes sense that something has to go.

EarnSomeRespect · Sep 14, 2013

So they will get chopped... but what will take its place as the same price?

Will the 7850 come down in price?
