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

I'm sort of hoping these come along at the 1k£ price point and have decent performance (lets face it, who isn't!).

I hope you're joking mate, cos these GPUs don't look like they will be performing like a 4090. That's the only way AMD could justify a £1k price point, cos folks had previously expected the 5080 to do that at £1k and are now disappointed cos it doesn't.

Realistically, they'll be priced around the 5070ti price/performance. I estimate that the 9700XT will be a performance competitor for 5070ti and would therefore need to be a bit cheaper to win any chance of sales.

Unless he means he hopes they are actually faster than the current rumours? No, these are going to compete with 5070 and 5070Ti and need to be priced accordingly.

Hope not otherwise i can see it being another flop, it needs to perform close to a 5070 Ti and be priced close to a 5070.

I am going to go with :

Sapphire 9070XT nitro £799 Inc at launch and then £749 3 months later.

Reference 9070XT £699 inc at launch then £649 3 months later.

I don't think the 5080 was fast enough.

Of course they will when some here are now saying they are willing to pay up to £750 for a 70 tier GPU, just because it might not be far off 5080 performance.

So going down the stack the 9060 will be well over £400.

If ever the 9060 (non XT) came out ~5070Ti performance would some of you actually buy it for over £500?


AMD showed the slide with the 70 tier comparison so therefore should do their usual 'price slightly lower' but this time price it lower than what they normally do.

9070XT = no more than $600
9070 = no more than $450

AIB's really should not be adding anymore than $75-$100 on top of their cards, just because they change the cooling.

If PC gaming ever dies or becomes only for people with cash to throw away, it'll be the gamers fault for paying for these overpriced GPU's :(

Not happy about it at all, however I am likely to pay it as it's one of the only expensive hobbies I have left. I earn good money and fast cars and living for the weekend are long gone.

It's not great I admit and I won't pay Nvidia levels but if I have to pay 750 every few years to carry on enjoying this hobby then there isn't much else I can do about it. I know people should vote with their wallet but I feel I am not really part of the problem when it seems most are willing too pay north of 1.2k for some cards

Is the 5080 not the sort of mid end they want to compete with?

I wouldn't say so, up until the 30 series 80 class cards use to be considered an enthusiast class of card, and I'd still class them as such.

Despite Nvidia's attempt to shift that window.
