Still the question of MSRP is hanging out there.

Will it actually target what we used to consider a mid-range card?

    What’s mid range price now? I remember getting an ATI HD5770 for I think like $150 and then later a GTX 970 for like $320. Ten years ago for the 970 and that 970 had a 145w TDP. 5770 108w TDP

    8800xt after its price settles after half a year may be right for me

      So just went shopping for a 4070/7800 XT and prices are 500-700 hundred now for what is considered mid-range.

      Yeah definitely a far cry from 5700XT, which was considered mid-range, just a few years back at 400.

        I think those cards are slightly above mid range. They are very powerful cards.

    That’s odd because I had previously heard the 8000 series was intended to be midrange only. A 7900 XTX is insanely fast already.
