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

what do you call the 9070xt? at £500 you can a GPU the bests a 5070ti.
the 9070xt doesn't get the praise it deserves

It's only hit the mid £500s~ recently and the 5070ti can be had for mid £600s~.

For me personally the £100 saving wouldn't be worth it, id rather have the Nvidia card as all the little things add up. (lower power draw, better vram compression, no rtx hdr equivalent, slightly better performance, wide dlss support instead of messing around with optiscaler, better for messing around with AI, programs that support cuda, better resale value etc etc).

Now if they launched it in Jan for £499 instead of waiting for Nvidia to launch and then slightly undercutting them with a fake MSRP it would've been a banger. We also don't know if these will age like milk similar to the 5700xt vs 2070 (which was launched almost one year later for 50 quid less) as AMD are moving to UDNA with the next gen.

I cant see myself buying an AMD card in the future if they don't step it up and stop waiting for and price matching Nvidia. Do something drastic like the price/perf of the 4870/4850 or launch first for once like the 7970/7950.

The cheapest 5070Ti is £675... The cheapest 9070XT is £539. Over £130 is a pretty big difference between the two - although appreciating they're both the 'lower' range models (and I'm not sure I'd touch the MSI Ventus tier of cards with a barge pole).

It depends on if you think the Nvidia feature set is worth that extra cost really - and performance in the games you play. There are some titles that perform better on the 9070XT and others that run better on the 5070Ti but it's all 'user' dependent as to what titles they actually play.

I'm currently using a 5070 Ti - but I've had a 9070XT and I honestly would have been more than happy with either if I didn't manage to get this 70Ti at a ridiculously low price due to a pricing error on competitors site.

Personally, I looked at the games I generally play and what feature set I don't use (MFG etc) for FPS games.
The 9070XT ticked the boxes for me in the games and resolution I game in, It can even pip the 5080 looking at recent benchmarks so I'm more than happy with the purchase.

Hi there, it would appear we still have no 4090s under £1k used :p


Shall I set a new reminder???

HL3 will be out before a 4090 is under £1k :cry:

Yeah yeah. Are you also rich now? Because if you predicted ai would kick of the way it ended up doing and you purchased nvidia stock you would be minted ;)

Cannot hear you over the +£1k value of my GPU, speak louder!
 
You got me, I did not buy nv stock, I don't do stocks, but I will still wipe away my tears:

I have won, let's just call it what it is!

I am the wealthiest right now because of that! I've waited a year for this moment and nothing will change the pure joy of this moment.
