It wouldn't matter if the price was right and the RT was improved. People are desperate for value in this market.
But even if they had nothing you wouldn't go about it like this. It's ineptitude on every level.

The whole situation is mad. They released a slide showing the 9070 range is competing with the equivalent range in the existing RTX 4000 series.
The mind boggles ????

Yeah were done in terms of Nvidia pricing now. Maybe that was the intention all along, so AMD's 10% less strategy has margins and keeps the status quo.
What's the point of offering midrange if it doesn't improve the price point?
Go about what? They are not announcing the prices because the probably don't intend to launch until end of Q1. They don't have anything worth getting exited about. It's essentially a refresh with a bit of fsr4at a lower price.
IMO You just wouldn't mention or tease new GPU releases right before a big show just to bait and switch.
Set expectations by saying at least a week before "Hey guys we know your excited about the future of our GPU's but we have nothing to show right now, but look forward to future developments in the summer" etc. Not getting your board partners and yourself to start leaking marketing materials/sneak peaks everywhere or hyping youtubers and so to your customers on the morning of your event.

To compare where Nvidia and AMD are.
Nvidia have their product literally sat at retailers waiting for the go ahead to put them live
AMD can't even talk about their product, utterly pathetic.

or what could have spooked amd is that jensen pricing the 5080 at 599..
i mean the man is capable of anything because he knows the msrp doesnt translate to price on the street

If the 5080 is set at anything below £900 I would be amazed, I would literally do a cartwheel in the street.

100% Jensen and Lisa are fixing the market.

Not a chance.
AMD's best product is a smidge under £800, Nvidia's 5080 will be better in every single metric, hell at £1,000 it's probably better bang for buck too.
After that, I fully expect the 5080 to be $1299/$1399.

Imagine if it was £900! The 2nd hand market would crash and I’d get a 4099 for £600

Honestly I went into this stream expecting nothing and I feel like I need a refund from AMD, so disappointing
That's not going to happen, I mean it would be funny as a big FU to AMD from Nvidia, I would buy it instantly.

They are definitely not delayed in any shape or form!
It's even worse when you realise Nvidia is going to push out GDDR7 cards,before AMD can even get a GDDR6 mainstream card out. The Nvidia cards also had to take into consideration GDDR7 production which was only viable this year.
AMD couldn't even give out a launch date. Just a vague Q1 time line which is just for the launch,not proper availability.
Meanwhile RDNA3 is going to be worth even less as it can't run FSR4.

Looks like it,they are related after all

The mad thing, is AMD outside of its discrete GPU's has quality products to talk about.
Their new APUs (In the various guises, because it's a mess) for handhelds and small form factor gaming machines are quality, and you can get away from Windows with them.

Just buy the 5080 and stop allowing yourself to get annoyed. Maybe next time Lisa will put her arms around you the day before and explain why it's gonna be a **** show
