What an absolute car crash of a series. Just no upsides at all.

The 9070 is a failed 9070xt and from what I've read AMD have really good yields on the 9070xt, so I get why they didn't go cheaper not much point if you won't have a good supply if your production is good.
Theres just no point ruining a 9070xt to make a 9070 when you can have good supply.
I get it, it's a silly price buy it also get why AMD are doing this if what I read about yields is true.
The 5070 is already DOA really so good job the don't have any supply.
Time to get F5ing lads, you don’t want to miss out!
Only if you sniff the leather first.But hold on.... This should be 4090 performance?
Let your opponent make a fool of themselves then strike
otherwise AMD would just hit the usual mindshare barrier.

it is pants... but IF i was in the market and that was how much money i had i would still buy a 5070 over a 4070 super.
aside from it being a bit cheaper, its the newer silicon so will get longer support and going forward driver updates should help the new card over the old one.
I am not excusing it at all, i think back to when the x070 of a new generation would trade blows with the top tier card of the previous gen (770 vs 680, 970 vs 780ti, 1070 vs 980ti ) and with a much better RRP but i dont suppose we will get there again

the AMD 9070xt is 40-60% faster than the cards it replaces 7800xt and 7900 gre
....well obviously
However it's over a year since the 4070 super was released so it's basically a $50 price drop for the same performance + some better frame gen software.

that is good to know. it has been a long time since i looked at AMD. In principle i would go with team red but there has always been a blocker, be it physX, better vr performance, and last time I bought a card better ray tracing and superior mining.
if i was in the market i would need to do my homework more, however my limited understanding (and i admit it is limited) outside of raw horse power the nvidia cards still appear to have the better feature set

Yeah, but their market share is like 10%.
At that point you do whatever you can to get that to change.
While doing something else with a spatula..
What exactly, i will leave to your imagination....
