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

Also, anyone noticed the wierdness with the ports on these 9060XTs?

Ofc they made the dumb decision to reduce to 3 ports, but the Sapphire cards are worse off by having a single DP instead of 2 like the other brands of 9060xt models.

Kinda kills these cards for some hoping to upgrade to them.

Given the issues with more than 1x HDMI in the 9070 XT thread, I'm very surprised Sapphire would do that again :o

I suppose the one thing here is, is anyone gonna be running displays with high resolution + refresh rate off of one of these cards? I think you could do 2 x HDMI 4K @ 60Hz displays without issue (and whatever Hz that corresponds to on lower resolution monitors).

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT leaks ahead of launch: 3.47GHz OC matching RX 7700 XT performance - VideoCardz.com

XFX Radeon RX 9060 XT goes on sale before launch and gets tested Redditor shares first-hand overclocking and undervolting results. AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT has not even launched yet, but it looks like the card is already available for sale to those who know where to look. Redditor “uesato_hinata”...

Supposedly 7700XT performance for around £30 less (many 7700XTs have been going for £350ish over the past year) and 4GB more VRAM and a bit more ray-tracing? Not really game-changing or exciting tbh, not really a generational upgrade even. What's worse is that it enables there to still be a place for the previous gen 7800XT, there's no equivalent replacement in AMD's current line-up. It should have been the 9070 non-XT, but that's priced way too high to replace the 7800XT (and just priced too high in general, too close to the 9070XT).

These GPUs are being marketed for 1440p gaming and given how cheap and affordable decent monitors have been recently, it absolutely makes sense for 9060 buyers to already have high-resolution, high refresh displays. Heck, there was even a 4k high refresh display announced at computex for cheaper MSRP than the 16GB version of this 9060XT.

So HDMI makes a little less sense when people could be running at the very least 2x 1440p high-refresh displays. Admittedly these do seem to be listing HDMI 2.1b which has support for up to 4k144hz needing DSC to go higher and that is actually fairly equivalent to the DP 2.1 UHBR13.5 that these GPUs come with.

Just hope that nobody needs a UHBR20 GPU, even the 9070XT caps out at DP 2.1 UHBR13.5 and not all of the 4k 240Hz monitors don't have UHBR20, so DSC would be needed for those resolution/refresh rates anyway.

Well the GRE should appear at some point, lets see where that fits in :cry:

Edit. And as I just posted above, only 3 display connectors on the 9060XT is of no use to me :p

same lol all 1440p 2 wide 3440x1440 and 2 regular 2560x1440 i think whatever it is
however music production is my alleged main use so having more than one or two isnt that uncommon i couldnt go back to a single monitor really i tried when i got my 9070xt with a 4k60 40" but yeah i find this multi screen setup far more convenient maybe jsut because im use to it though but whatever lol seems its not the norm but not hugely uncommon either
i do admit i only have 3 turned on atm [im not making music right now im surfing ocuk forum and talking complete rubbish online lol] worth noting the 2 non wides are currently in portrait but i think im going to move one back to landscape anyway im rambling lol im a bit of an odd but compltely unheard of example i guess
 
People are focusing about the lack of 4 monitor support,but the RTX5060 series are only PCI-E 8X. The RX9600 series are PCI-E 16X which means on older systems,there is going to be less issues. Lots of people buying cards around £250 to £350 will be using PCI-E 4.0 and PCI-E 3.0 systems. I would expect even the RTX9060XT 8GB will have less problems than the RTX5060 8GB if both have to page into system RAM. Also,if the Nvidia driver overhead issue persists that will be another thing in favour of the RX9060 series.

Totally get that, similar situation for me but not so much now, was Dj'ing online a lot through the pandemic with some Twitch streaming etc.

Mine are all 1080p with 2 in portrait each side of the 2 in the middle (one above the other) that are landscape. I could maybe go back to 3 but no way I'll only run 1 display again, even if it is some super ultra wide thing :cry:

Who's excited for 7700xt performance for £350? bare minimum by both Nvidia and AMD in this segment. AMD rocking no boats vs Nvidia as per....

New steam hardware survey update for May. We are now several months in.

1% = 1.3 million users.

AMD's pricing has resulted in their cards yet to make the list. £670+ for a 9070 XT.

I'm sure someone will come along and say how the 9070 XT sold more than all nvidia cards combined, based on heresay.

The increases in the share of the new 5xxx cards is slow though. AMD will be even slower. AMD missed their chance to grab meaningful market share.

What are:

AMD Radeon (TM) Graphics
AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics
AMD Radeon Graphics
Other

Not saying these are specifically the latest GPUs as they go back too far. But could they be getting classified incorrectly?

Also why are the figures different if looking at "all video cards" Vs the "DirectX 12 GPUs"? Example:

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
All Video Cards - May = 0.50%
DirectX 12 GPUs - May = 0.58%

I don't understand it lol.

Not sure how Steam handles it if you have integrated enabled and a card, presumably there's a fair few AMD CPU users who leave it enabled.

I know mine was on by default and I went hunting in advanced bios options to disable it. Average person wouldn't do that for sure, yeah.
