Fill your boots. I like RT if it's done well.

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.
Give it 5 years and RT will be a subscription service along with FSR and DLSS. Oh and AI.
I am more concerned that the AIB 9060 XT will end up with 3 8 pin connectors like the 9070 XT. How many amps are they going to be pulling and will a gold rated PSU be ok or will be forced to move toward platinum / cybernetics.
My PSU is 54 amps on the 12v, brings back the question, will it game
Doubt it. You can quote.
If the rumours are true for these leaks then I'm liking the direction they are taking.
Having thought about it through today, I'll likely be sticking with my 3080 until I can't reach what I want from it or it goes to GPU heaven. Still a cracking GPU that does everything I need of it.

3080 is still a great card. Been using it in my SFF in my living room. Couldn't turn down 400 quid for it though. New AMD cards are sounding more and more tempting by the day...
It absolutely is and I'm still happy with the performance. You know what like when something new and shiny comes out in your hobby world...
On a side note, is it just this generation AMD aren't competing in the top end or has that not been disclosed?

Wanting to upgrade my 5700XT to play Cities Skylines 2 & that new Indiana Jones game looks good.
I am very very casual gamer so the 9070XT sounds prefect for me.

Yep correct this is just mid to upper mid range from AMD. Just 4 cards in the range. 9060, 9070 and then XT varients.
Just for this generation or for the foreseeable? I'll be skipping this lot but will definitely be keeping an eye on reviews and future announcements.

No idea sorry, just for this one I am assuming. Focusing on gaining some market share I believe. Not sure on what come next.

Driver support is were AMD usually fall down, plus they hve a backend focus on developing and deliverying AI chips, thats basically top tiar cards, so it make sence to focus on the big money with AI and data center for them and then gaming later with the rewards that come from that. my 2 cents at least
Disagree with the Driver support. Drivers have been great and for a long time don't think that's relevant anymore

i think its the 6800xt? but there was definatly a recent ish card that was causing lots of issues which wasnt 2004, maybe 2018/2019
i admit its been a long while since ive tried AMD cards in ernist. and been considering them for a future build out proejcts

On early leaks 9060XT (originally 8600xt) was based on Navi44 (smaller die) with 8GB on 128-bit configuration.
On recent leaks it moved to Navi48 with 12GB on 192-bit configuration.
We most likely to see 9050XT on 8GB VRAM with £200 entry level price as well. It's also XX50 Gen (1050/1650, 3050, 5050?) for Nvidia so this might make sense on competition arena.
This would also match with the RDNA 1 stack

Sorry for all the speculation
AMD's Adrenalin software has been great for a while (though it would crash on my 6700XT from time to time and I'd have to manually reload my presets). Nvidia is only just catching up with its new app after finally abandoning its mandatory login to Geforce experience.

Lets hope so, I thought I saw the 8GB thing on Videocardz but after looking back it was Wccftech which seem a little less creditable with their news.
Also, after seeing the article about the 5070 laptop having only 8GB VRAM it got me thinking that AMD may still have 8GB cards too.
Nvidia's RTX 5070 gaming laptops hide a terrible secret
Despite its enticing starting price, the new RTX 5070 laptop unveiled at CES 2025 is a solid pass for me. Here's why.

12GB should be the very minimum in 2025, desktop and laptop.
Wait, is Videocardz considered credible these days?!
I always equated it to the Daily Star of hardware news
They just report on every rumours, no matter how dubious, so they're only as reliable as their sources. But in the last week or so the leaks and rumours have been coming thick and fast and seem to be saying the same things. And some from previously accurate places. Though we'll see tomorrow. First card in the stack is " AMD will do a full announcement on the 15th"Wait, is Videocardz considered credible these days?!

may all start tumbling from there.
