What does jebaited mean? I'm not down with the kids anymore.
It's really annoying, it's such a childish term. Can we stop using this term, mods can we ban the term jebaited

What a farce this is becoming. Really hope they don't screw this up. Played a load of stalker 2 and Indiana jones over the weekend and my gre holds up very well so I think the new card fever might be dying down for me, so I am happy to sit and watch but it really is turning into a circus on both sides.

Chat, it's joever. The jebaited boomer mods have cracked our lingo with the help of DeepSeek. We're cooked. /s
In my time they used to say "That really rustled my jimmies". Language is just getting more efficient. The future is now, old man.

TBH i've gone from being really excited to not caring, based on how this has gone so far i'm 100% confident AMD will mess this up.

plenty of fps on stalker 2 with my GRE on max settings.

I come home from work and saw this thread had grown by more pages than expected. Surely that means there's been some news...
Oh... that explains it... just another terribly written videocardz article.
The price numbers in the article could potentially be pulled out their own rears. Closer to 7900XT than 7800XT could mean anything. The article assumes it's referring to RRP, but could be referring to current pricing for all we know. Can't lie, those prices don't seem even realistic in any sense. If a 9070 non-XT supposedly trades blows with a 7900XT... a $749 price would put it higher than what the older card is currently selling at. And considering the new card has less VRAM too... these prices would make this series of GPUs DOA. At least RTX5000 doesn't give worse price-to-performance than RTX 4000. Either the prices are misconstrued or AMD's Radeon department has lost the plot and want to die a grisly death.
Another terrible videocardz article... tbf I don't blame folks for posting these, since there's no other news and nothing more official, after getting zilch at CES.
That said, the points folks are making off the back of this, make sense. I did think it odd how these overbuilt and power hungry (based on PCIe connectors) GPUs are considered midrange.
Even though nothing has really happened yet, I'm still expecting AMD to mess up the launch somehow, despite the rare ooportunity to score a win.
I'll keep a close eye on 7900XT pricing, for esp if the new AMD GPUs end up being a worthless generation where performance for the price stagnates.

Well, rumour (mostly from one poster on AT who is always 100% sure of everything - even when they were wrong!) is that Lisa Su is there one who cancelled big RDNA4. And with the way GPU mindshare works halo or high-end is super important. Sounded like the usual Su penny-pinching (although without Nvidia's huge professional market big RDNA4 might never have paid for itself).
Current rumours are also that RDNA4's performance/area is actually quite good (unlike, for instance, Intel).
Margins over everything!
AMD's strategy is really strange as developing each generation costs100s of millions, but because of their margin obsession they lack the volume to spread that cost. I guess it is possible that they know more than us, and that any attempt to go for volume wouldn't work due to too many buyers always buying Nvidia no matter what.
It's funny because (and I can't remember for the life of me where I saw/heard it) there's another rumour that Jack Huynh was the one who pulled the plug on big RDNA4 shortly after he was appointed in his position.
Rumour Mill indeed! Perhaps we'll get some leaks on who photocopied their arse at the AMD Xmas party soon (my money's on Frank Azor).
Nah, its Lisa, she's prim and proper, until she's drunk.....

She reminds me of Amy Farrah Fowler. Lol
Theres another "rumour mill" post from some account on twitter claiming that the UDNA gpu isn't big enough to compete with the 5090.
This actually got posted as a source in some articles....
AMD's next-gen flagship UDNA Radeon GPU won't be as powerful as the GeForce RTX 5090
AMD is set to return to the high-end enthusiast GPU market with its next-gen unified UDNA architecture, however it could still fall short of the RTX 5090.

It really has go to the point now where anyone can make an account, spout some bs and some tech site desperate for clicks will pick up on it and post it like its somehow legit.

Then AMD are not returning to enthusiast segment with UDNA.

"Then" being the caveat for the rumour being true, be that as claimed 'then' no, AMD would not be competing with the 5090 at that stage.
If its slated for 2026 which it apparently is, nvidia could have a ti or titan 5090 by that point.
Coming out hot on the heels of the £400 5060 8gb.
