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

Darn. I bought a 7900GRE only 5 months ago however if RDNA 4 is twice the raytracing I can see myself buying a nitro version next year. Can't have my ps5 pro having better RT than my pc. :)

Yep, a 7900 XT is about 10% slower than a 4080 in raster and about 15% faster than the GRE. Or about 23% faster than a 7800 XT.

If as Jedi claims, the 8800 XT is actually 20% slower than a 4080, then that would be a failure indeed.

I’m still not seeing any hype at all to state this is anything but a mild upgrade of about 30% over a 7800 XT at best. Or just about sitting between a 7900 XT and 4080 in raster.

People generate their own hype in their heads it seems, not helped by the rumour mill.

But Jedi is claiming this thread is full of hype and I just don’t see it on display. If anything the mood is quite “let’s wait and see”.

Even those of us who would normally defend AMD are saying “meh, not terrible”. :cry:

Yup, basically case in point, I'm not seeing people basically spooging themselves in anticipation, apparently he is? I generally just wait and see what comes on launch and more or less ignore the elongated edging session that happens with these rumour threads, though I do post the odd snarky comment in relation to some of the crap the rumour mongers sling. :p

Jedi is the opposite and claiming AMD will be lucky getting 10% - 15% over the current 7800 XT. I just think that is low.

You have to remember that AMD is in a duopoly with Nvidia so why if they release first with a card that delivers 4080 like performance would they undercut Nvidia by £400 when so far they have only undercut Nvidia by £100 at most.

I absolutely agree, that’s why have also posted the price needs to be right.
 
Yeah, funny that considering you took the time to respond. Sometimes being an edgelord is just another way of saying troll. :p

I mean in terms of performance I couldn't care how it turns out, barely bother gaming anymore so upgrades for the sake of upgrading are a nope, currently.

I think the only thing way it’ll be £500-550 at launch is if performance is at most 15% more than a 7800XT, if however it’s 40% then AMD won’t be able to resist a cash grab at launch then lower pricing after Nvidia launch the 5000 series.
