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

[McPhee]

I remember ages ago during the mining boom when Gibbo provided a link to forum members which allowed us to buy a card without it being on the main site. I think it was posted in the members market so only active members had access. I hope he does something this time too.

And then a load of them were on eBay minutes later

It was the Gigabyte 3070 Vision IIRC

I'm sat on the pulse page and I can't see any queue shenanigans...???

Was there a queue for the nvidia launch? (I didn't even try when I seen the reviews and lack of supply)

Yesterday I loaded the 5070 page at 2pm but there was no queue. No stock left so either they were snagged by bots or there was no real stock.

I think Gibbo stated they hadn't received their order of the 5070.

I read somewhere that the microcentres in America had very little stock for launch, so it appears it's just another paper launch by nvidia

Might grab one too for my htpc

@humbug

Always gonna be the case with the lowest price. A lot of people get to a product listing page, sort price low-to-high and click on the first one they see.

And then you look at the non XT versions and it's literally less than 500 for the cheapest and in double digits for others.

Green light to go for one by the boss

I'm Flip flopping between the Pulse or splashing out for a Nitro as I half fancy a nice new case with silent fans to finish it all off and look good in the next month or so. My daughter is excited to see if I grab one as it means she'll get my 2080ti, just need a little case and PSU and she'll be set up with her first machine then.

Is viewed numbers a browser thing because on FF i don't see anything to say how many viewed a card.

With a 5700x3d it would be more than a sweet little setup for a first machine

I've planned in my 13:58 dump at work... I don't have a good feeling about this!

just been looking at a few benchmark videos, and some of the AIB cards are quite a bit faster than the stock card.
I always thought the difference between cards was negligible as they are essentially the same card but clocked a little higher and by that reasoning the stock card should achieve the same performance once it has been clocked a bit higher, albeit cooling might need beefing up.

or is there more to it than that ?
