*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***
- Thread starter humbug
- Start date
Yep, a mid tier card in 2025. What that costs is very much up for debate *looks at listings around £1k for 5070ti*
Everything considered up to this point, you would expect AMD are gearing up for a pretty revolutionary launch where they are actually going to take this by the horns. It's what makes this particular launch so exciting since AMD really do have a good opportunity but they also have a severe reputation for fumbling - what's it going to be?
Blame AMD for setting the scene. They specifically said they are going to price 'aggressively' and 'go for market share'.
£650 was my limit to begin with, then with leaks I would have stretched to around 700, but if I now have to buy a new PSU aswell?...

Yes very sad state , when £700+ could be considered good for mid tier card because the competitor is £1k+
I suppose its to be expected overall, AMD have played the performance per watt card well on the last few gens....
Sad times on the PSU front for me too, but tbh I shouldn't moan as my BeQuiet 600w has been an absolute trooper and its rolling with an x3d chip and 7800xt no problems. shouldnt push my luck
Shame i will have to pay SFX tax for any new one though

Yep, hoping it will be the case for the new AMD cards. Trying to future proof myself as much as possible, particularly as planning a new OLED monitor purchase within the next 12 months.
Show me where an AMD rep stated this. As far as I've seen so far nobody from amd has talked about pricing besides debunking the alleged 899 price tag and saying they are listening to comments on pricing. And they've said next to bugger all about marketshare either.
It has surely just got to be in their interests to do their best on the pricing. If they create a greatt mid range solution and it's priced aggressively that is going to hurt NV and their market share far more. The keeping up with the jones' route just won't work as the RTX 4/5 gen cards at the top tier are just insane
The 5700xt was great example of this as it was undeniably slower than the top end RTX 2080 series but at its price point it was a hell of a mid range slugger in the marketplace

Ooosh!
Beautiful card though!!
Was just having a read. Seems quite reasonable. 750w - 1000w PSU should see most people through.Wow top edition needs powaaarrr

So they've mentioned marketshare, but as usual the "aggressive pricing" thing is some rumour from a website. So yet again on this forum some random rumour somehow becomes "amd said" a few pages down the line....
Pretty much tells me want market share how do you do that ? Price aggressively
AMD confirms Radeon GPU strategy shift - Targets Market share - OC3D
AMD are now targetting GPU market share growth with Radeon (RDNA 4) over high-end graphics performance. Will AMD succeed?

Amd have not said anything yet about aggressive pricing, the post above stated that amd "specifically said" they would price aggressively, when in reality they've said nothing like that.
I think AMD were expecting Nvidia to knock something bigger out the park, the 4090 shocked AMD, they were not expecting it to be as powerful as it was.. this time they expected an even bigger jump in performance but this time across the range, so AMD thought that what they were doing with rDNA 4 couldn't compete after the issues they had with rdna3. So why bother wasting money and resources making high end chips that couldn't compete? So they chose to stick to the mid range.
An alternative thought though is that the 9070xt chip was originally scheduled to be an 80 series chip but they believed it wasn't powerful enough to compete with Nvidia next gen so they dropped it down a tier, and now have been caught on the hop that they actually could have released it as an 80 series card..
I think it's normal to presume pricing, if they officially said they want market share how else are they getting it ?
