*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***
- Thread starter humbug
- Start date
5080, yes, its 25% faster, an 80 CU die would do it, a die like that would only be a bit over 400mm and maybe 375 watts.
Like he says at the end the though the power limit is nothing like a 5080/5090 so i don't seeing it being an issue.
"Sapphire hasn't done anything to stop the connector being terrible" is his last sentiment.
Sapphire have been around a long time, they must be confident in the connector or why risk it ?
The problem AMD have is the lengths Nvidia are willing to go to to brute force a convincing win.
The 5090 is 750mm, an absolutely insane size and its 600 watts is equally ridiculous, AMD are just never going to do this.
The thing about this tho is eventually Nvidia will run in to a wall of what's possible.

Apart from fuses and split power delivery isn't it.
Looks like 2x 20A fuses right there.

Following seeing reviews I'm struggling to see how a 9070XT is a justifying upgrade over my 7900XT.
It isnt really,, unless you want much better RT performance.

I'm guessing if you want better ray tracing performance perhaps?
Its a mid range GPU, its not meant for that.
Better RT performance really.
FSR4 on Left and DLSS P on right. FSR 3.1 in middle.
I would go with that, the one in the middle is obviously worse, left and right are near identical but the one on the left is ever so slightly better, this is a good result from FSR 4.
The one on the left looks much better than the one on the right to me.
You have better eyes than me.
It isn’t.
A nice jump in RT probably isn’t worth the cost since general raster isn’t much better.
It pains to say it but the best option is probably to wait for something like a 9080.
I was sure I’d be upgrading my 3080 but now the dust has settled I don’t think I will. (Yet)
Not enough performance improvement for a reasonable amount of money is the reason - from either AMD or Nvidia.
Having said that, the ground/gravel path looks better on the right one. But the character, backpack and shirt looks much sharper on the one on the left.

Yes it looks better but somehow DF found the game in which FSR4 had slightly less clarity (HFW) than DLSSP. We will have to see what Hardware Unboxed has to say.
