*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

[kieran_read]

Mesh on the mba card looks better. Seems to be a design theme for some of the aibs as well.

I'm with the others imo, i think it's backwards. Prefer the look of the Nitro on the 7900XT/XTX

Hidden power cabling should be standard by now. Or at least anywhere other than the front side of the card, so you need to loop it back underneath and in front of the fans. So arse about face.

I was fast on this one

Update your calendars, hate-watchers!

Probably a good spot there right next to the heat sink i hear these new cables may need some extra cooling

Lol, literally 2 posts after I said they have to announce something soon.

Also had a thought on this theoretical 32GB variant. They could price that one to the moon (irrespective of good or bad pricing on the 16GB variant), given the the only competition there for high VRAM card is 5090 (or 4090 with a bit less). I don't doubt we'd see it at £1k, scalper/retailer-greed or not.

At least we now have news. About the day when we'll get actual news and details.

Yup, I like that. Quite different.

I like it, wasn’t sure at first. Would like to see some real life pictures as I think it will look better in reality than on some renders like that.

I really do like cards that just look like big bricks, not like a early 00s remote controlled car.

The 9070xt is not coming in a 32gb model

9070 XTX then?

I was gonna say - that tweet means very little

I guess I am going to have to hope it grows on me

its probably a work station card, there is no point for gaming, 20 or 24 would have been better for gaming GPU.

Only 2 weeks to see how AMD fumble the launch

 

[welshrat]

Some talk that they may do a 9080XT (or something similar) with GDDR7 for a fair bandwidth increase

Another potential leak for the 9070xt

Did the same benchmark with my 7900xtx and 7600x and got 201fps with a score of 34354, interesting

Looks like it might have some legs on it!

Current flagship performance would indeed be nice

 

[OpenToSuggestions]

For sure, anyone who got the 7900XTX at a reasonable price recently will be laughing. Prices are skyrocketing.

Still on my 7900XT.
Always been happy with it but do with I'd stumped the XTX.
Price rises due to production stopping?

Regardless of what we think of that Daniel Owen dude, he also found out the settings and benchmarked it with a better CPU (9800X3D) and same GPU.
His score was 35691 and 209.53 fps.

So yeah, performance in line with other leaks, the 9070XT looks to be roughly a 7900XTX. All it needs is a good price.
Would be interesting to see how the non-XT compares, but we'll have to wait a few weeks for proper reviews & benchmarks I reckon.
