Umm, is it just me then?
I have to watch several reviews and read several reviews and read this forum (and reddit) and so on...
Otherwise I could miss something important

Actually everyone listens like a podcast to GN, HUB, Wendell, Ian Cutress and servethehome while reading phoronix. I know it's true because that's what I do and I'm the main character.
The 5070ti was the card I was the most hyped about, I saw the little crumbs that AMD were dropping when the 9070 was announced but never peaked any interest.
Now a week later, the 50 series is looking to be overpriced "shocker" and the gains from the 40 series looks minimal on pure performance, unless you use DLSS 4.
Info has been slowly leaking on the AMD 90's and all of a sudden they have gained some traction and looks to be the better mid range option, All AMD now have to do is get the pricing right and the market is theirs.

Nvidia always claw it back when they lose ground by releasing the same card with a speed bump, they did it when the 7800xt was eating the 4070. Amd should release the 9070 first at the lowest price they can go to, Nvidia will be forced to adjust if it's as good or better than the 5070 and and they can then swoop in for the kill with the xt. They won't however ofc and Nvidia will find a way to win the battle of the 70's

I click on HUB videos just to downvote them. most of them are bloody awful.
Ah, yes, I suppose the retailers don't actually have to settle up for the stock immediately - they may just sit in the warehouse as AMD/AIB's property, and settle 90 days later or even have them on sale-or-return basis...
Just because we don't know, doesn't mean retailers don't.
I wasn't assuming they didn't - hence my initial question!
I guess we'll know for sure if loose lips start sinking ships...

Wish they’d bloody hurry up - I’m itching to know if I can finally upgrade my vega64 for 400 odd quid
Cheapest will be £500. Sucks to be you.
AMD Radeon RX 9070 GPUs already in stock at Danish retailer - VideoCardz.com
AMD RDNA4 in stock, launch soon? Some information from Europe suggests a possible launch this month. We’ve seen several rumors about the RDNA4 launch, but AMD refused to share any details during their keynote. The company has only said to expect updates in the first quarter, while post-keynote...

Danish and Israeli retailers have some in stock, apparently. Rumours of a release on the 24th, with the reveal two days earlier.
Nvidia have now confirmed that the 5070 Ti & 5070 are only 20% Faster Than 4070 Ti & 4070.
Surely AMD can't miss this open goal now can they?
NVIDIA Confirms RTX 50 Gaming GPUs Native "Non-DLSS" RT Uplifts: RTX 5090 30% Faster Than 4090, 5080 15% Faster Than 4080, 5070 Ti & 5070 20% Faster Than 4070 Ti & 4070
NVIDIA confirmed native RT uplifts of its RTX 50 GPUs, RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, & 5070, without the use of DLSS which averages around 15-20%.wccftech.com
I have heard this before.
Many times...
Ah, makes sense. Got one for my wife (upgrade for a 3060 Ti which was struggling with Fallout 76) and it's been pretty great.
Yeah you did
(Sorry
)"Shrinkflation" is a great term to use. The thing is though, I don't think most people realize that! Certainly not if you leave the nerd forums and look out in the wild. NV's branding tomfoolery will work...
And, by extension, AMD are also a party to this (by positioning their 70 series against the "fake" 70 series).
Say more?
It is obvious that Nvidia have dropped the real 5080 and lifted the stack up a tier. Then cut prices slightly and people are thinking “yay price cut”. I think they have played an absolute blinder in how they continually dry hump the willing victims.
I bet I end up with a 5080 at some point
Now we wait until AMD decides they can price between the 5070Ti and the 5070.
£700 for the 9070 XT
£600 for the 9070
“We aren’t the value brand anymore”

We've had this before and Nvidia sold in record numbers.
The 4070 was 27% faster than the 3070 for 25% more money, at least this moves the needle on performance per $, right? Everyone be happy.

This is exactly where I'm at
That said, this whole gen looks better if you're not the type to upgrade every gen. Not that it bodes well for the future. You might have to wait a decade to get a 50% performance bump if this carries on!
