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

[Steve Bruce]

It will be interesting to see what the view is on the 12gb 9060XT when compared to a 16gb 5060TI and how close or far they are from a 5070 and the 9070 non XT.

As ever it comes down to 3rd party reviews to assess performance. It's not a level of card I would personally look at but. without knowing anything about performance, but if it's similar performance at a similar price l would go for the extra vram.

If amd is 10%+ performance at similar cost I would go for amd. At that level of gpu, I don't see settings being high enough to utilise the 16gb.

As you move down or up a stack the requirements change (eg RT in a 2060 was pointless albeit it was a marketing ploy to sell it, it could be the same with 16gb for this gens 5060 which should probably be a 5050 going by the rest of the generation)

Is it just the Sapphires with the limited MSRP prices, or all brands?

 

[kieran_read]

That's the 9070 though right? Not the xt?

No no sweet prince that's the XT.

Gibbo said prices start from 524.99. So that's the price of the non xt

No the XT pulse will be £569 for the first few 100 units

So all the bots get it.

Yes, that will probably be the way u unfortunately

All this around pricing and it's 100% self inflicted. I don't understand the rush to get one on day one.

 

[mahius]

i'd rather get pretty much anything else!

if there's a possibility i will get a more useful free game i'd be delighted.

It's an expensive game. Sell the key and bag a £50 saving on the new GPU.

You saw what Gibbo posted. The main issue now is that there isn't much stock at MSRP. And there's been rumours that this announced MSRP is 'fake' anyway, as AMD has always intended to price them higher. Think like the Intel B580. Only a few at MSRP on launch and has never gone back down to it since.

Anyhow, only 20ish minutes to go until independent reviewers tell us it's a cheaper 5070ti.

Because the price might be limited to day one release at MSRP, once stock is finished might come back higher priced ?

It's not the same as people fighting over Nvidia scraps that are well over priced pass MSRP

It's probably been asked before, but which vendors are okay with fitting water blocks without voiding warranty?

I'm interested in this too. It looks like Sapphire and Powercolor do NOT honour the warranty if you put a block on them:

SAPPHIRE-Customer Service

www.sapphiretech.com

"The limited warranty does not cover products that the user has disassembled."

Warranty Information (Global)∣PowerColor

PowerColor

www.powercolor.com

"Removal and/or damaging of serial number sticker(s) on the back of the product will VOID all warranties"

Could not find any warranty info for Asrock.

Well even if this is true, there will be plenty like me who for one reason or other will favour the 5070ti
I decided to keep mine despite the huge price difference but am looking at the 9070XT as a spare for testing with the hope that AMD ups its Ai game

They'd go down in price if people didn't rush to buy them. They'll go up for sure if they sell out.

hmmm but people are still buying £10,000 Nvidia 5090 so they're going to go up regardless

 

[Ayahuasca]

People are desperate for "cheaper" cards after the last generation or two. It's an obvious sales tactic, but there's no chance of people holding off on a £570 XT if the rumoured performance is true.

Well yes but if it's priced well why shouldn't they sell ? No one's holding out if they can get it at MSRP

Can't say the same for Nvidia?

 

[welshrat]

Reviews are up on TPU, looks amazing. Basically a 4070ti super in RT and near a 5080/5070ti in raster.

I am all over this like a rash

Agree but then when the price increases people should say no and wait for them to drop.
