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

So if the Reaper is 304mm length and my old Red Devil 5700XT (pictured below) was 300mm in length..

Here is the gap I have left for the Reaper if I want to keep the rad at the front of my case :eek:

It should squeeze in there but its tight! Dare I risk it? :D

It should be OK IMHO as the power connector isn't at the end.

Yeah. Looking back I could have killed a herd of elephants with that consumption. At least I lived to tell the tale.

Anyone who has a previous power color red devil, are the lights changeable from red ? Can I add a nice tacky rainbow effect ?

Yes, you can change the RGB colors on the red devil, but I can't recall if the indivudual lights or addressable in the powercolor software. I always kept the lights on my 7900xtx the same color: red, like the good Lord intended.
 

16 pin power connector on the saphire radeon rx9070 xt nitro. I was planning to buy and watercool this. Now its not worth the risk at all.

why watercool a nitro - buy the cheapest decent quality brand and plonk a waterblock on that. no point buying a high end card and ripping the cooler off of it.
 
Cant u just put 2x 8pin connectors on? As i'm sure Amd said this with these 2 cards you don't need a Nvidia type connectors to power it, unless it was just in ref to ref models but there is not going to be any ref models coming out in march, will there?

Though I don't like the connector, I think it's only an issue with cards that nearly max the capacity of it.

It's kinda why the 4070ti is problem free or close to

At those prices it converts to $599 for the XT and $539 for the non XT.

XT if trading blows with a 70Ti, that is a big win. You would be paying 25% more for similar performance for the Nvidia GPU. It will be even more massive if there is enough stock for that to be a realistic price for the base models.

The non XT seems like a missed trick and I assume would miss the 20% better price perf over a 5070, if all the perf leaks for both GPUs are accurate. But it should be noted that the 9070 does have 4GB more VRAM (no GDDR 7 won’t make a difference). Though getting under that $500 price point on the 9070 would have been massive.

$539 for the 9070 is so so and just too close to the 5070 expected price/perf but the extra VRAM helps a bit. Seems like they are upselling people to the XT and to be fair, I can understand why because $599 is a genuinely great price for the level of performance.
AMD always does this though and price the lower performing card worse, 7900XT vs 7900XTX, 7800XT vs 7700XT for example both the lower models had worse price to performance.
