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

I am very tempted, it does seem like a nice performance boost for my 3080 but on the other hand I can hardly get time to game at all recently so perhaps better to hang fire until next gen and I hope I get more time

Just watched the HW unboxed review for the 9070XT and performance seems a bit disappointing, basically a 4070ti super in raster at 1440p, a bit more at 4k but with 4070S RT, 4070ti supers were available last year for £650 so this is not a big win for AMD imo.

pricing now though...people buying the msi gaming trio 5070 for £700....for 4070super performance you could have bought for £500 back in nov??? crazy

I'm sold. :) Looking at my card and the uplift to the 9070XT at 4k, it is great news. Obviously for those on other models it might be different situation but for me, I think that's a great effort by AMD and hopefully they continue to push on and gain some traction. Nice to have some positive reviews where AMD are at least mixing up and disrupting the norm. See AMD - you can do it! And just on the price, if the Nitro+ is £699 then that is OK with me (not great) as I paid £699 for the current card so if I look at it from that perspective I'm gaining in performance for the same outlay. I can convince myself with that haha. But yeah, price looks to be a tad high atm. It might be a ploy? Nvidia drop their prices, and this gives a bit of wiggle room? I don't know. Anyway, I'll be trying to get one tomorrow.

At 4k it's right on the edge you gonna be having to use upscaling / reducing settings which I don't feel comfortable if using it when you just bought the card

Don't think we're quite ready for so called mainstream cards with headroom at 4K

Looking at the charts, the Ray tracing is still badly lacking in AMD. If you want to play a heavy RT game you still have to go Nvidia it seems.

5070ti is pretty much minimum of £800 at the moment so you are looking at almost 40% more. I fail to see the appeal when the 5070ti can't really provide top class performance in heavy ray tracing games either. Above that is a pointless comparison even the 5070ti is in another price bracket at the moment.
If someone is on the fence and buys Nvidia then they were never really on the fence.

The only reason to buy Nvidia is you need non gaming features or you are shopping at a performance level that AMD doesn't cover.
 
I have a pre order for the 5070ti for 770 if I can get one of the 569 cards I get 1 and will cancel the 5070ti which I have a end of April date on.
if not Nvidia get my money again. All cards should be available 600 for a AMD win. It's performance is just a 9700xt with ray tracing sorted.
At the 600USD stated price if was right where I wanted to be to run my high refresh 1440 if it's 700 that is really a none improvement for the same cost this gen apart from better ray tracing.
I did not buy the 7900xt in Nov because I knew new cards were due wish I had just ordered 1 now.

Your beloved RTX5070 is not going to win here unless Nvidia gets serious on gimping performance in games. The RTX5070 only has 12GB of VRAM,so fall overs in certain RT scenarios too. With the PS5 PRO using RDNA4 and Sony caring a bit more about RT,the RTX5070 does even look that great longterm.

DF pretty much think the RTX5070 is RIP:



:cry:

AMD even beats the RTX5070 in efficiency with 33% more GDDR6 which consumes more power than GDDR7:

The RTX5070TI should be the RTX5070.

AMD basically just took an RX7800XT replacement and overclocked it a bit.

unless theres a heavy cut to price 5070 is DOA who the **** is buying that
