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

The 5070ti is a cut down 580 so is a true 70 class card of course the real price is stupid.
That would appear to be the case but when you look at the performance it paints a different picture.

The 9070 seems more impressive to me than the XT. The power draw is vastly better, way more efficient. If they were £499 they would be THE card of the year IMO.
I liked the look of the nonXT but the small difference in price to the XT made me think I should go for the XT. The way the order process went today meant that I ended up with the non XT anyway and I am very happy with that outcome.

The efficiency tests almost suggest that the non XT is the base card operating at the sweet spot and the XT is an overclocked version rather than the no XT being a cut down version. It would be interesting to see how the XT would perform at the non XT frequency but with its extra cores.

I had to fight myself not to go for the XT too and have a non-XT Pulse order confirmed.

The matched efficiency of a 5070 but outperforming it in raster and doing much better in RT (that I've never used) than previous AMD generations at least tempers my self kicking... I mean for several reasons the non-XT was the right one for me but the price difference was constantly fighting me.

Plus the non-XT means I can still use my WiFi card :cry:

Who knows, there may come a time they can be flashed with an XT vbios...
