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

[ICDP]

9070 is meh and really needed to priced below a 5070. But that 9070 XT price is very good. A 23% price/perf improvement

I am also liking the FSR 4 improvements.

A bit of a mixed bag but definitely well impressed with the pricing and performance of the 9070XT. Even the 9070 is not terrible and hardly putting a massive damper on this. I still expect a lot will be crying they should be cheaper. 9070 yes, XT is looking good.

Overall well done AMD and let’s hope they have stock to follow through. For once they scored in the massive open goal Nvidia left them.

$600?? Fantastic on the face of it but expecting £750-£800 'real world' price.

I mean anything can happen in this market but I could only see the top end cards being £750-800, though Gibbo’s probably currently sat holding a beer.

@harmattan Time to eat shoe my friend

I said "retail" price which will be askew from the RRPs in a very non trivial way.

 

[Troezar]

$50 difference seems too small. I'm betting street prices won't be the same as the touted prices, beware "from"...

 

[MissChief]

Did they give a release date? And any idea of UK pricing? Also want benchmarks as this could tempt me away from my 3080 if performance is good.

 

[Jono8]

You think you will get em for that? There will be a few sold then they will be replaced by the $600+ cards. Why do you think amd never produced a card.

Don't start all that. Just ends up being a self fulfilling prophecy of hype and FOMO

I wonder if they've managed to lower multimonitor power usage.

 

[HarryBizzle]

Anyone know when we’re likely to know UK RRP?

 

[Nitefly]

TLDR where does this sit performance-wise against the 5080? Sorry to be lazy.

The mba card will be the cheapest, so much for the rumours of there being no mba card, more pish from the usual twitter suspects.

Benchmarks 5th March and Release 6th March.

Glad I haven't paid £900+ for a 5070ti

Similar performance as the 4080 is ballpark 5070ti performance.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Just think they've missed a massive opportunity with the 9070 at $500, feels like missing an open goal

Imagine how crap it would make the 5070 look

Probably an upsell to the RX5070XT.

 

[labbby]

funny thing is even if Nvidia adjust pricing do they have enough stock to stop the price gouging ?

 

[RavenXXX2]

I reckon the 9070 will oc to xt performance so if xt stock is out, could be the one to get. That's if amd have not put some restrictions on power draw.

Probably would have been day 1 buy for me if could have got it at MSRP , guess I'll wait now and see what aib I like and deal to pop up at a later date

 

[Subliminal Aura]

Flipping heck, they delivered the wrong thing.... wanted a 9070 XT

For sale boxed brand new : £700

There are no MBA cards, AMD just used them as a reference point.

Spoiler: OC Card Performance Estimates

For £580 i like this....
