*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

What a disaster, AMD completely bamboozled by a relatively boring NVIDIA lineup.

What were they expecting? The 5070 and 5070Ti from NVIDIA's own data are about 20% faster than the previous gen (plus/minus 5%), for about the same price (plus/minus $50). Totally run of the mill, standard, minimum price/performance increase.

NVIDIA couldn't be more boring if they tried, yet this was enough for AMD to effectively unlaunch their GPUs . Surely they should have prepared for this possibility? If NVIDIA had done something crazy (+50%), I'd understand the panic, but this is just pathetic.

So AMD need to renegotiate with retailers/distributors/AIBs?

Totally agreed.

If they had underpriced their cards, its very easy to increase the RRP. However, this panic from them seems to strongly indicate that they wanted to charge more, but now have to either rebate existing cards, or find extra performance to justify the price.

Remember how they priced the RX7900XT relative to unlaunched RTX4080 12GB? Then got jebaited by Nvidia with a $50 cheaper RTX4070TI which wasn't great value.

They tried overpricing the Ryzen 9000 CPUs too and the B840 chipset is apparently a rebadged A620.

You are trying to put words in my mouth-twice now-even after quoting you specifically on what I said to @Gerard .:thumbsdown

Every single trolling/baiting that goes on in this thread by others is irrelevant to me, if I wanted to be dragged into all the hyperbole you and others thrive on, I'd be partaking mate, no?

I purchase my gpus on review data. then and only the then will I'll decide to keep the 79XTX/4070 and buy nothing for the first time ever since before 6800GT.

As DLSS4's made a drastic improvement over NV's recently official debunking of the DLSS2 better thanNative narrative, Nv's now peaked my interest with the DF vid showcasing DLSS4, after revealing 6 years of DLSS2's IQ deficiences, there's now a 4070 to 5070ti/80 itch started for the 4K/QHDUW, because DLSS4 IQ is looking very, very good and QHDUW@240Hz with MFG!:thumbsup

I asked questions. Nothing more.

Yes. DLSS is getting even better indeed. If I can pick up a 5070Ti at msrp I will get it, because who knows what prices are going to be like now that Trump is in charge.

But those improvements are coming to the 4000 series anyway, so even if I stay with my 4070Ti I will get them anyways.

There is possibly thousands of BIOS updates to be done in warehouses all over the globe which wont be completed until March if theres some issue or performance update needed via BIOS for cards already sent out..

*ouch*!

Either way, I will wait
