That's a shame as I liked there tomahawk series for motherboards. I will probably end up going Asus again for AM5 (I know others hate them but they have been brilliant with my last two strix am4 boards).

Thanks both! Updated the original post (though I think my Asus numbers are still off).
Also added the reference design which seems reasonable!

The answer that you want to hear is "Nvidia" - with those three things equal (VRAM, relative perf, price), but then lots of other things come into play:
- Fan noise
- Power consumption
- Card size
- Aesthetics / lighting
- Brand (as @kieran_read said, this matters a lot more in this scenario)
- Specific performance in games you play most
- Non-gaming features (I purposely put this at the bottom of the list )

Mate, if DFI or Abit still existed, you know they would have my heart
I had read that a few days ago. I also read that they will be announced two days prior.AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Specs

I have a SFF system too,so a shorter card is preferable.
My current motherboard is a B650E-I Strix and the previous one was a B450I Strix. Asus made the cheapest B650E mini-ITX motherboard and the socket is centralised too.

ohhh talk dirty to me.....
You know what I've just thought... AMD should have enticed EVGA back into the game with MSI's 9xxx GPU allocation.
Opportunity to get a well-respected player on side...

Oh my god yes. I had the Epox 8RDA+ for my Athlon XP 2400+ Thoroughbred B.
I was so excited it was the B because it had more overclocking potential than the Thoroughbred A and Palomino versions.

Yeah, this is the point. We won't actually be getting much generational uplift from Nvidia since what we already have with a 4070 Super, won't be significantly improved upon with the 5070.
Needs to be more performance at the same price point to be worthwhile from either and AMD needs to work harder than Nvidia in order to gain marketshare like they claim they want.
I'm still running my MSI Gaming 970, though barely play much games on it nowadays for obvious reasons. I also recall when 1000 series launched, I tried nabbing a fire sale MSI Gaming 980ti from here on OCUK. They had finally run out of stock and offered to swap in a different model for my order, but I liked the 0 RPM mode of the one I ordered, so I declined and got refunded. Several years prior I had an MSI HD 6770, the first one was DoA and I had to RMA it. After that, the RMA replacement worked like a charm till someone broke it while I was away at uni. It's hit and miss, but I'd never swear by any brand. 10 years ago, I was chuffed at my Gigabyte Z97 motherboard, fast forward to last year and Asus of all brands was the only one who offered a B650 motherboard close to what I was looking for.
On that note, I'm looking for whatever 9070(XT) gives me a 0 RPM mode with close to 2 slots, while keeping cool and quiet. Might have to go for a higher end model. And all that depends on how well these cards perform and what they are priced at. I might be talking nonsense and just not bother upgrading for another year

They already have Sapphire who to me are second to none. AMD don't sell enough cards to have to many partners imo.
