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

OK guys looks like no one has decent guestimates

Can we target a range of prices of for the 9070xt ?

I'm thinking

£599 MSRP - Available but impossible for most bar a few lucky ones

£650 - Lowest

£800 - Highest

I'm looking at picking up the Sapphire Nitro+ and have pencilled in £800 for it

What do you guys think ? And please don't daydream prices - be realistic as there's huge demand for these cards and we all know what that means

Apparently the stock levels are quite high, so I'm thinking the initial release will be reasonably priced and if they sell out, you may see prices creep up. I'm hoping for a decent OC card for under £700.
 
OK, let's just hope that many disgruntled Nvidia users don't buy in and spoil your party.

This is really my fear, you have a decent product but demand will push up the price.... £800 seems a bargain to the fat wallets of Nvidia fan bois :cry:
Does make you wonder how many cards are on there way back, after the AMD announcement.
 
XT

700 lowest
900 highest (looking at you Asus)
MSRP non existent.

Knock £50 off for the 9070.

Then in a few months they will drop down to "msrp" or lower with deals.

Stock can be as high as you like, retailers and aib will scalp and come up with some excuse for it.

For sure somewhere between £800-£900 for the top tier cards.

Hasn't Gibbo already said he's expecting 1000s of cards and that they have a good chance of being sold at RRP?
 
So I guess the question is, would a top tier 9070XT be worth it over a bottom-ish tier 5070Ti (supposing there's ever enough stock for us to buy them)?
Performance seems to be pretty close. Think I'm gonna need to see 3rd party reviews of the 9070 XT. Although I'm not sure I'd get a top tier card of either, I'd look for something more mid tier, although it does seem a few brands just seem to do top tier and bottom tier.
 
BTW 9070 XT cheatsheet from reddit, some of you might find it useful

Oh, that could be handy, thanks.

Oh yeah, I totally get the doubt, but if he's expecting 1000s, instead of the 8 5090s or whatever ocuk had on release, I'd say there is a decent possibility of the 9070 being sold at, or close to RRP.
Yeah, I think they'll have 1000s but I think the margins will decide how close they get to MSRP rather than the number of cards.
 
What can I say, I'm jaded over gpu prices and the supposed "msrp" since covid.

Always an excuse for why stuff is higher, can't even have the decency to just say "supply and demand". So I'll believe it when I see it.

For sure, everybody has our pants down now'a days and they give us the same old excuse, yet the companies that do so are also making crazy profits.
 
Yeh, the 9070xt will likely still run a reasonable amount of new games okish in 5 years, but probably on quite low settings/resolutions.

5 years will be fine, tech isn't moving on that fast now, certainly unlikely to have to play at low resolutions and settings, might not do ultra settings in 5 years but likely medium to high.

The 6800xt still performs perfectly acceptable at high in most games.

Just don't use ray tracing ha ha

But with fsr 4 being as good as purported there's no reason why it couldn't last 5 years

Be better off buying a second hand 7900xt for c.£400.
