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

[FredFlint]

Following seeing reviews I'm struggling to see how a 9070XT is a justifying upgrade over my 7900XT.

Its a replacement for the 7800XT, it was never going to be a good upgrade for anything > that.

It is only a 60 premium when the pulse goes up to 630.

On a side note I wish there was a private queue for us forum members on these launches XD

free queue entry if you bought a £500 9800X3D?
PLEASE?

When I was looking at the computerbase.de comparisons yesterday it seemed to me like FSR4 sharpened slightly more on objects close to the camera and slightly less on things far away compared with DLSS 4. I'm not sure which I preferred, possibly FSR4 (seemed less like a sharpening filter), I think in motion DLSS4 is probably still better though, I want to see FSR4 displaying those fan blades and things they used to show how much better it was than DLSS3.

EDIT actually I may have been thinking of the DLSS3 comparisons with that sharpening difference. I can't remember, so ignore me.

Indeed. It looks like a great buy just my inner nerd was hoping for an upgrade .

Its a mid range GPU, its not meant for that.

I also don't get why people would want to upgrade gen to gen anyway. Even more when it's a mid range to mid range.

I looked on my OCUK account last night as I was saving my address to try and get an order through later. My last card i bought in 2018...if we think 2 gens time will be 2029/2030 I can literally by buying 1 GPU a decade upgrading every gen is madness to me especially in the current climate.

I think its an improvement over the previous generation with a $100 price increase and the previous generation also had a $100 price increase.

I've been rocking my 2080ti for the last 3+ years, the 9070xt looks like a viable upgrade to this without sending the wife crazy!

For some people, this is their main hobby. Not necessarily gaming but just being involved/invested in latest tech and enjoying that part to it.

The yearly amount I spend on PC parts is nothing compared to what my best mate spends on golf...!

Im going from a 1080ti gonna be on my phone non stop for the next hour hitting refresh

If this is true and there are no drawbacks that would be awesome.

Well the drawback is the performance hit, but in principle you could run lower quality to make back the performance with better overall image quality than with FSR 3.

 

[Alexrose1uk]

Yes, to that point, Tim@HWUB commented he thought the FSR4 demo he saw was running Quality mode. Then found out it was running performance mode (!)...so its a decent step up for sure, especially in motion.

I'm thinking about switching from Nvidia and getting a 9070 XT but have a question. On Nvidia GPUs if you set low latency mode to ultra, Vsync on and enable G-sync, then it will automatically cap the frame rate slightly below your monitor's refresh rate and eliminate tearing without increasing latency. This is better than using an in-game frame rate limiter which can still have tearing unless you set the frame rate limit much lower. Does AMD have an equivalent feature?

What was the input resolution?

Don't know about all of that but you can set V-Sync and cap the frame rates as per game basis or globally in the drivers. I don't know what "Ultra low latency mode" is.

AMD have Anti-Lag and Anti-Lag2, the latter requires in-game support.

 

[GothicGhost]

Are the XFX magnetic ones any good?

 

[humbug]

Ah i see, in that case yes, you can set custom settings in the driver for pretty much anything you can think of as per game as a game profile or globally, even per game custom overclocks, AMD's driver functionality goes very deep and its very extensive.

I'm not at my PC right now or i would show you.

Cool and Quiet. Been there for years. Mapped to hotkey and appplied on all those games that want to draw 700w over 1000fps in the damn menus.
