The 4070 Ti is 17% ahead of the 7800 XT on average normally so that's how much AMD gain from having a game optimised for them.
If the 4090 is getting an average of around 100fps at 4K, the 7900XTX is usually a bit slower at 95fps. If the 9070 is indeed 99fps then that is pretty crazy since it shows it's faster than the 7900XTX. It could potentially be the mid range card to get if priced correctly.

You are correct
ASROCK adopts 12V-2x6 power connector on Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card - VideoCardz.com
ASRock Taichi gets new power connector The only RDNA4 card so far. TechPowerUp discovered ASRock’s new generation Radeon GPUs at the CES 2025 showfloor. While AMD had previously shown these cards in a single slide, ASRock has not yet made an official announcement about the new release. They...

I think most will stick with the old 8 pin connectors, i have two on mine and i don't see what the problem is with them, why the mad push for this technology that's if anything proven to be a bit dodgy all in the name of subjective ascetics, but if its only pulling 300 to 350 watts it shouldn't be a problem. I don't trust them beyond that and it looks like the 5090 will push them right up against their insane 600 watt limits. That should be fun....
Underhanded tactics from Nvidia to get their rival GPUs to explode in flames as well, now that feature is no longer exclusive to Nvidia.

Honestly if the 9070 is as fast as the XTX in COD, there's no reason it couldn't be in other titles, albeit, its a different architecture/changed architecture somewhat, so could be some variation (some better, some worst) dependent on the specialities of the architecture and what it turns out to be good at.
The INTERESTING part of this is, if accurate, and the 9070 is matching/slightly beating the 7900XTX in this title, then the 9070XT is likely to be another 10-20% ahead. That could get very interesting if it extrapolates to other titles as well, if they've killed some of the weaknesses of RDNA3 in some engines, or refined it to just generally improve performance due to resolving issues in the prior architecture, even IF it has been made more efficient for manufacture.
Honestly I'm not counting the 9070XT out as yet, it all depends on what the realworld turns out to be, and the price.
If its faster than a 7900XTX on average, with considerably better RT, at around £500, it could be a barnstormer, as that'd potentially put it in range of a 5070TI (a £750 card)
AMD have a quandrary here, they can try and get more profit IF the card performs well, or they can reduce margins somewhat, and actually try and move numbers and win marketshare (and good opinion ahead of UDNA's launch next gen) like they said previously.

Oh its AMD please!
The only quandray AMD has is what foot do they want to shoot themselves in.
It's interesting though could be performing better than we expected (at least in one game) and Nvidias true performance is unknown.
Can't wait for the reviews

Yes, very true. I'm really not sure why but AMDs marketing and pricing teams have a habit of shooting themselves in both feet with both barrels, and pulling defeat from the jaws of victory.
Let's see how it goes this time, as can't imagine it'll be long till we get decent info now we have literally seen the cards.

If that's the case, I'd place a bet that AMD didn't see Nvidia's shrinkflation coming, and thought the GB203-200-A1 would be the 5070. They've now delayed the RDNA4 reveal while they rebrand and reprice the 9070 accordingly (so the $599 9070 releases as the 9070 XT at $699, and $799 9070 XT releases as the 9080(XT?) at $899?).
Even if they don't change the prices (yeah, right
), I can't see them sticking with the 9070 name if performance if far ahead of the 5070. The whole point of the new naming is to suggest equivalence.I don't believe for a moment that AMD will miss the opportunity to join Nvidia in shafting the consumer

Theyre not gonna rebrand anything at this point.

Only thing that was preventing me going a radeon DGPU was the poor up scaling. Currently running the 8700G as a stop gap until something decent comes as long. If AMD does not **** up the price I could see me going with the either 9070 depending on price difference. 5070 would have been it, but not with 12GB. I was too often compromising on settings with the 4070.

Rebranding is 100% not gonna happen, all their partners would have to either print new packaging or put stickers over the naming convention on the packaging they have already. It was already a change when they went to this naming convention, thats not gonna change weeks before launch, especially after they've already confirmed the names at ces.
Interesting that the driver even the manufacturers have is 'handicapped' and isn't showing the true performance just yet.
