*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***
- Thread starter humbug
- Start date
Woken up on the wrong side of bed, @ICDP ? 
This has been a pretty weird gen so far. If AMD knew Nvidia would be offering derisory performance improvement (with a pseudo price cut) at CES then you can see why they would be indecisive and choose to keep their powder dry.
I doubt them being possibly able to be in touch with nearly the entire Nvidia stack crossed their mind going into this - none of us did!
They have a real chance to reset the market and do us all a favour. Imagine a card 15% off an 80-class in perf at 60% the price. 15% better than the 70ti for 30% less!
Yeah I know, too good to be true. But stranger things have happened, even in the last couple of weeks

So 239 pages and we actually know the cards are called 9070 and 9070xt.

Yeah, I need to stop digging I think
There are so many different rumours on price and very vague statements from AMD. We know where it will perform and just waiting on AMD to decide their next play.

Pretty much lol.
I was going to write an essay of a post explaining all the different permutations in my head, but it all amounts to "dunno"
One thing is for sure - this thread is going to light up when AMD present something!

My own post history on this thread reads like a demented bipolar conspiracy theorist. I can’t make my mind up on which GPUs they are aiming to replace and what prices. The only thing I have been consistent on is roughly where performance lies and even that has a 15% wide target.
I literally give up
I'm in exactly the same place, erring on the side of optimism, benefit of the doubt and all thatMy own post history on this thread reads like a demented bipolar conspiracy theorist.

You know what difference is between a conspiracy theorist and the truth in this day and age?? around 6 months.My own post history on this thread reads like a demented bipolar conspiracy theorist.

I started out wanting a 5090, but the pricing (and power draw) made me think maybe a 5080.
But that pricing isn't great either and with availability the way it is I started thinking might as well see what the 9070XT is like.
Then I got impatient and started looking at 2nd hand 4070 (Ti) SUPER cards. Now I'm thinking maybe it'd make more sense to go for the 9070 and just wait for next gen and hope either Nvidia get a node shrink and offer something more impressive or AMD do a high-end card again.
Just sorta makes me laugh that I've talked myself down from a 5090 to a 9070...
Possibly. The 9070 & 9070XT might turn out to be too expensive or to also have disappointing performance and then I talk myself back into a 5080 when there's better availability.
