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

Yeah man, thanks for that. The IGN test is 4k Extreme with no FG so that second result is golden.

The 9070XT is 15% faster than a 7900GRE in that benchmark.

The 7900GRE is approx 20% faster than a 7800XT which means that the 35% delta between a 7800XT and 9070XT is 'true' for both Monster Hunter Wildlands and BlackOps 6.

The 7900XTX is 15% faster than a 7900GRE on average and the 7900XTX is around 1% faster overall than a 4080 Super.

Conclusion therefore is that 7900XTX<>4080 Super<>5070ti<>9070XT over a large basket of games in pure raster.

Is that the 9700 or 9700XT they tested ? Seems to suggest 9700 ? or have they just named it 9700 without knowing ?

EDIT - Btw that's a stock nitro I am running

Obviously as I have shown if you OC the 7800xt you gain another 10-15% narrowing the gap to 9070xt to 20-25%.

Hence I was wondering whether it’s worth the outlay and loss on current card for an upgrade.

From a pure raster perspective probably not. Even less for me but I am in for better upscaling and potentially much better RT for unreal 5 etc.

But 9070xt can probably also be overclocked, to what level that's still to be known

But saying that overclocking isn't what it used to be , now it's more about undervolting

I think whats going to happen is that FRS4.0 will be so good at 4k/Ultrawide that the upgrade to a 9070XT will be a no brainer for people that game over 1440p.

For under 4k you'll need to really think about what games you want to play and if they are sub 90fps at 1080 and 1440p. If the answer is 'Yes', they are currently under 90fps at those resolutions, you should consider the upgrade to a 9700 series card, to get the extra grunt and full FSR4 hardware support.

For pure raster the 7900XTX still gives the 5080 a run for its money at 1080/1440p so youll need to really look at your personal preferences around games and resolution.

Your 7900GRE can OC to a 7900xt and the jump would be a lot smaller still for you. Only if FSR4 is truly great and there are architectural benefits would it be worth it to upgrade I suppose.
 
I'm not bothered about overclocking anymore if the power increase to performance doesn't seem to be worth it when you not gonna notice it playing games more interested in undervolting
Just boils down to price now. As if it’s £800ish once VAT added to leaked USD price of $849. Then it’s DOA. But if they can bring it down to £650 tops for reference 9070XT then it will be worth it.

I'm not bothered just excited whenever something new release :) but if it's £600 I'll be interested , but then you see others willing to pay £700+ for mid tier card AMD will price as high as they can that they can get away with so I don't have high hopes

Im hoping the 5070Ti isnt worse than the 5080 launch. If the cards are not near the msrp then its a waiting game hoping some creep downward, or get a 9070 if they dont go with the -£75 lower than nvidia tactic. The problem here is there will be much more punters in the £400-£700 bracket fighting over the sensible cards.

Yeah. To be honest even if it's 15% better raster I will be happy, as long as I am not going backwards :-) will be getting the nitro so should have a similar delta. Been so impressed with PSSR that I know I want FSR4 unless AMD mess that up.
 
Performance is sounding quite good. But let's try to not get over excited yet - we've been here before (ahem... Polaris).

It's largely about pricing now, yes. However, having been traumatized by the horrendous joke of the 5-series release, I'd say it also comes down to supply.
 
9070XT Benchmark post updated thanks to @welshboy


Looks like someone was able to order a card in the US - 9070XT Nitro+ for 964 USD which puts the UK price at approx. 899 GBP Inc. which might be the 100 GBP delta on 5070ti AIB launch pricing that I posted about yesterday. That could mean that the 5070ti Asus TUF comes in at 999GBP on the nose.

Loads of leaks now with pricing around $850 USD, if true then it’s DOA.

That is NOT mid tier gaming…

Can only hope those prices are place holders and wrong but knowing AMD they’ll likely be right.

Honestly if they go to market with cards priced over £600 for entry models of 9070XT they may as well close down their GPU division and just let Nvidia have it.

As said previously 0060/0070 are the mainstream cards now, and they are not £850, they are £400-600 tops

Ouch. Honestly though I am committed now so just need reviews. Would rather this than a 4080 and am doing a full build March/April. Still hoping for sub 800 though for the nitro
