A 3060 is closer to 60fps in PT than a 2060, doesn't mean it's acceptable performance (for me anyway) :D

It will go down to MSRP. At which point if the boggo MSI Shadow is upwards of £729 and a Reaper is £579 (which is the only real comparison as none of the other 9070xt's are as basic) then it's a complete no brainer. Unless Indiana Jones is the only game you intend on playing, with PT on, at 1440p at sub-60 fps!

Basically what I was trying to say if both are at msrp then pick the 9070XT

Is this sub 60fps with multi frame gen? If so the latency on that must be atrocious.

Yeah it is decent and it's a similar story to the gap between the RX 7000 series and RTX 4000 series in regular RT. Except it's one game.

Oh and you have a far higher chance of a stable driver with the Radeon :D

Yes, how the tables have turned haha.
Although if you read hotukdeals and other forums, AMD only release a driver once a year apparently haha, despite having released 2 in the space of 3 weeks.

Well, going by the quality of Nvidia's recent efforts, that's probably a plus point! :D

Just waiting for manufacturer to supply a free USB killer flash stick with every £500 motherboard.

Also more than happy to update the free firmware update on all of Gibbos cars with a USB killer device :D Starting with the most expensive car.

AMD CEO: Radeon RX 9070 XT first week sales 10x higher than previous generations - VideoCardz.com

AMD CEO on RDNA4 says it’s the biggest Radeon launch based on first-week sales In an interview hosted by “Ordinary Uncle Tony,” also known as Tony Yu, the General Manager of ASUS China, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su answered some key questions related to the most recent AMD launches. Last week, AMD held a...

Yes, Lisa. But can you ramp up production and get the price down to MSRP?

Next six months will decide whether this is a genuine turnaround or another AMD "let's snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!"

Ramping up production of relatively large dGPU dies would be at the expense of reducing production of more profitable uses for AMD's wafer allocation, with smaller dies, less prone to defects (as the larger the die, the more likely it is to have a defect in it given a constant defect/mm²).

AMD seem to be expanding in the Server CPU market, taking market share from Intel, so much so that AMD's data centre segment earnings (up 94% in 2024) were 5x their gaming segment earnings (which includes semi-custom for consoles, down 58% in 2024).

First week sales after stalling and stockpiling for months (unlike (any?) previous launches) to try and get an edge over the Nvidia launch.

Then running that into the abyss of demand caused by Nvidia diverting almost every chip to the AI mob who are happy to pay 5x as much.

AMD didn't plan for this, up til the last minute they were fiddling prices expecting a price competition, not expecting to be sucked dry by thirsty gamers willing to pay well over MSRP.

Even including the recent near 10% rebound, AMD stock is still down ~37% in the last year. The market, like me, will need some more convincing. There are companies vastly larger than AMD that can push to the front of the queue at TSMC for allocation and the latest nodes. The server market is ripe for an ARM onslaught - Softbank's recent $6.5B cash buyout of Ampere highlights this, IMHO. ;)

.... which makes optimal use of available wafers even more important from a revenue / profitability perspective - and it seems that dGPUs ain't it.
 
yeah and probably means i need to be monitoring hte page to see if any pures happen while im actually at my pc lol
good excuse to be at the pc though means i can get some of my music stuff sorted out while im doing it i guess
