its absolutely criminal that any 4070 card came with 12gb.

It’s even more criminal they are still planning to offer that on a 5070. Yet I bet a lot of reviewers will still call it amazing for the “price” and not even mention the fake MSRP or missing ROPs for 1 in every 200 buyers.

Oh it’s only 0.5% affected. So if you sell 2 million GPUs that’s only 10,000 people affected. Hardly a problem is it?

It’s like this father ted scene.

it will sell in the thousands to people who think AMD still have crap drivers.
 
Thanks all, appreciate the advice.

I didn't think it would be an upgrade really, just wanted access to the 2.1 display port. I guess I'll wait for UDNA to come along, or a 5090 at an affordable, and available, stock level. Just don't want to pay their premium mark up.

I did wonder if I'd basically be able to sell the 4070 ti [super] for close to the price of the 9070xt and "sidegrade" that way, but yeah perhaps its just not worth bothering.

Oh man. It’s so hard to have self-discipline to resist the new 9070 cards.

I played Indy Jones again on supreme at 1440p and it felt good (90-110 fps). Vram was at 13.5gb usage.

Do I really need to put myself through swapping GPUs? (Someone talk some sense into me please).

What do you have right now?

Essentially I want a 9070XT with 3X 8 pins for future overclocking potential and that isn’t entirely overheating while doing so…. Would be great to find out which ones to avoid. I guess I’ll be waiting till Wednesday reviews.

Can't say I'm too worried.. as long as the fin stack is dense enough the rest can be fixed post purchase if needs be. I'm not saying it is ideal but there are a simple solution to most problems. Time for Tinkering ;)

I doubt you need to upgrade if you can get those frame rates at 1440p. Though I doubt saying that will ease the FOMO as in reality my 6600XT is still mostly fine for the stuff I play, but whilst I am resistant to this hype crap I'm not completely immune. Still, not as bad as those that cream themselves over DLSS so that they can play at 4K on their 1440p monitors.
