or they plan to flood the market and sell for a fair price? (well, you have to dream, don't you

They had 17% wiped of their value earlier in the week
If that was the case I am sure we would have had a leak considering shops actually have them.
I doubt it.. but if they are then they are beyond stupid
I would be shocked as well but not ruling anything out
they need to paint Nvidia as the Evil like they did with Intel
I have a feeling the 5070ti are all gonna end up being £800 + regardless of the msrp. But if amd price against that its going to be a mess. Everyone will parrot $750 vs what ever amd are charging and it will look ****.
Part of me is thinking about jumping on a 7900xtx before those are gone

RT & FSR4 aside, I doubt there's going to be much reason for buyers remorse if grabbing a 7900 XT/XTX at clearance prices.
The only worry I have is that mandatory RT could become ever more common. Fast forward to 2027, could the majority of big releases depend on RT performance?
Games will still need to run on the consoles, even the rt mandatory games, you can turn off most of the effects, so until the ps6 probably fine.
I keep thinking this was tempted with a 7800xt but the performance is not on par

7900xtx is a great card, but the RT performance is so bad. I'd be waiting to see what the 9070xt offers.
It only makes sense to go for the xtx now if you don't think you'll use RT and you play at 4k. Or you can get one for a stonking deal (sub-£700). Perhaps make an offer for a clearance one.

Also,the shrinkflation in the mainstream,when the most popular RT capable cards are the RTX3060 and RTX4060. The PS5 PRO is faster than both of them.
I am doubtful an RTX5060TI will even match an RTX4070 and even if it is around the same level as a PS5 PRO.
£1000 on a Guitar sounds a better deal than £1000 on a graphics card which will be out of date in 4 years.Believe me, I'm a guitarist and the same thing happens on guitar forums - people justify £3-4k on a Les Paul Standard because it "retains it's value". The difference between that and consumer electronics is that a guitar is nearly always just as good in 30 years as the day you bought it
It's why I only care about price/performance with graphics cards. A good CPU can last you much longer than a graphics card. Graphics cards are far easier to implement planned obsolescence on than any other component.

As someone with no interest in RT but now having to pay attention to it because of game requirements, isn't it a case of not all RT being the same? That some RT effects have a lower hit to performance than others.

Well looks like I may be back in for a 9700XT as my youngest came moaning about needing a new card for Nightreign. Silly to buy a new one when he can buy my 7900GRE at family rates. Was going AM5 build anyway this year so figure I will do the whole lot. Roll on March, honestly now think I will bite if reviews are good and the nitro comes in around £700.
PS - had to post as had made the 1000 posts for MM only for it to be snatched away for an old post I made being removed :-S

It doesn't matter if they have to run on consoles because it's still about the performance difference between GPUs and even with SW Lumen NV GPUs still see an advantage over AMD's, so whatever good standing they would normally have in raster shrinks, therefore they become worse relative to NV. Plus, we now see Unreal moving to default to HW Lumen and that's going to hit AMD even harder. Besides, even in titles that are optimised and created around RDNA 2 RT once they come to PC Nvidia still dominates (Metro Exodus EE, the Insomniac games, the Massive games, etc.). That's without taking into account the times where devs decide between who to optimise for and choose Nvidia and penalise AMD GPUs in the process even tho they had something more tailored to RDNA on consoles (this happened with Alan Wake 2).
Seems we all got nerfed on some posts made a few pages back about competitors being mentioned but I don't recall mentioning any. Oops

its upgrade by stealth fueled to increase sales a very dirty trick
but you are right Rt in call of duty is a button but I cant tell the difference and it made a minimal hit on performance

Yes me neither. Oh well
