if that reaper card is less than 300mm then i'm getting an upgrade:

Competitor rules
Please remember that any mention of competitors, hinting at competitors or offering to provide details of competitors will result in an account suspension. The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK.
MBA or the red devil looking the best so far imo.
Repeat after me "the 9070 xt is going to be slow and expensive and won't release until the last day of March"Guys, please stop hyping... it's always better to maintain low expectations
Thanks for sharing!
Small, perhaps uninteresting point... When he shows the labels on the back, both the RD and the Reaper are 9070XT models, whereas the HH is a vanilla 9070.
Seeing them on video, the HH and Reaper actually look ok.
"The performance, bizarrely it turns out, they don't know" - lol?

It's a novel approach, the driver being 'handicapped' so people can't really leak out out legit results, unbeknownst to them at the time. I'm sure the partner companies were a bit 'wtf' when they found this out.

I suspect FSR3 will still see improvements.
Wrong thread?
Or, err, for me... throwback to the time I (almost) found out the hard way that 310mm is the limit for my setup. Got away with it though
(This was a Sapphire NITRO+ Vega64 in a Fractal Design Meshify-C)

That chunky cooler straight to thin and light style cooler implies there may be some truth to the rumour I read that the stock/OEM style card is more of a conservative clocked and power limited card, hence how much smaller it is, then you've got AIB performance examples like the Red Devil on the right which are built to handle far more power draw, heat and ostensibly considerably higher clock rates/further around the performance:voltage curve.
It's interesting the manufacturers themselves are getting Sandbagged drivers; this really is going to be an interesting release; but AMD can still torpedo themselves very effectively by pricing it badly, so lets see how many boxes on the "AMD'll **** it up" BINGO card they can tick
It would be nice if they're putting out a serious barnstormer of a $500 card for the "mainstream gamer" like they said they would, but with improved performance in every metric...but realistically AMD themselves likely have ACME style TNT on the hype-train line
The fact AMD are hiding the performance even from the AIBs is very interesting though, that means there is something here they are trying to hide, but for what exact reason...

TL;DW version: he thinks the resolution / quality settings didn't apply properly as the game wasn't restarted before the benchmark was run, so the scores likely aren't truly for 4K Extreme.

You can almost picture the presentation already. The card absolutely knocks it out of the park. Close to RTX 5070 Ti performance at a "mid-range" price point. Vastly improved RT performance. FSR 4.0 is as good as DLSS 4.0. The last slide pops up...

You have to say ‘AMD AMD AMD’ in the mirror then turn around 360 degrees three times and if you time it right then the lights go out and Lisu Su’s spirit will hand you one.
