It is pretty well known that each time Nvidia leave the goal mouths open, by offering products which are marginally better than previous but high priced, or changing the product stack (check the 4070ti which was going to be called the 4080 before public outrage), AMD do this terrible thing by also releasing poor cards and increasing the price to close to Nvidia with less features (poor ray tracing, frame gen not as good etc, or by just having little to no stock available for customers to physically buy.
We'll see what happens, early signs are that AMD may have got things right this gen. I'm just in the mildly hyped train at the mo, preparing to disembark to disappointed platform, due to bad weather but hoping the bad storm will hold off so I can make it to pleasantly pleased ville.
None the wiser lol

AMD says Radeon RX 9070 series deserves its own event: "Stay Tuned" - VideoCardz.com
AMD Radeon RX 9070 series still without a release date The latest Meet The Experts webinar did not provide an answer, but the question was asked. Today, AMD held its “Meet the Experts” webinar, which discussed topics covered in the CES 2025 keynote. One of the most requested questions from the...

It's still far from an open goal, amd can usually adjust the price downwards but they only have so much headroom before they're making a loss. That was allegedly the case with vega where every card sold was at a loss to amd, probably something they'd not want to repeat.
I really need some leaked card dimensions along with reviews if I was ever going to order day 1. I'm not sure how stock levels are going to be but needing something to fit SFF will probably push out those 3 slots beasts and leave slim pickings (pun not intended).

Man, I really need to stop wading into the comments section of Videocardz articles... Every time, I lose a couple of IQ points

Quoted for truth. Mark my words. Greed and stupidity. This is the new "mid-range".
If the prices are close enough, perhaps AMD just needs to have something with a '70 in the name in stock when people go to upgrade...
All the comments in here about 'they won't sell any if they're one AAA game away from the price in my head' posts make me chuckle

I know what you mean. But the 50 series is looking so bad it is practically an own goal at this point! Surely even AMD can't mess this one up. 9070XT just needs to come in under the price of the 5070 at this point and match the 5070TI in raster. Realistically 499 quid.
Man of Honour
It's AMD. They'll say nothing much, then release products after nvidia to ensure that most of their potential market has already bought an nvidia card and won't be buying another new card. Probably at a price 5% under a card from nvidia that's worse but almost everyone will think is better because nvidia's very good at marketing. Even when they're blatantly lying, e.g. the claim that a 5070 has the same performance as a 4090. We know that's a lie (it has less than half the processing power!), but it'll fool many potential buyers.
AMD claim they won't mess up the pricing as badly as they did with the 7000 series, but we'll see. Even if they don't, that's only one of the mistakes they make. If they are mistakes. The company that benefits most from AMD maintaining a small presence in the consumer graphics card market is nvidia because it's enough to keep nvidia from being an obvious monopoly in the market. Maybe nvidia is paying AMD to mess up graphics card launches. Or maybe they're doing it all by themselves.
