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

[Besty]

Does anyone know which model this one is;



I love the Powercolour ones as well. The Nitro dosnt look no where near as good this gen, with that mesh.

XFX EVGA Mercury RX 9070 XT OC Gaming RGB 16 GB

There is also a white one in the same Model.

Budget for 799 for the black and 899 for the white one.

XFX are generally one of the better makes arn't they? If I did go AMD id want a manufacturer with good (really quiet) fans like MSI/Asus are for the Nvidia cards.

• PowerColor RX 9070 Reaper: 650W (2x 8-pin) AMD Reference Specs
• PowerColor RX 9070 XT Reaper: 750W (2x 8-pin) AMD Reference Specs
• PowerColor RX 9070 XT Red Devil: 900W (3x 8-pin) OC Specs

650w no issue with 350w gpu and 5900x CPU. Saying it needs a 900W GPU is bizzare given these are not meant to be high end cards

Dual and Triple fan variants of the Pulse?

I'll take the Dual please Just need dimensions for my little Corsair 400C case!

Sapphire teases Radeon RX 9070 PULSE graphics card - VideoCardz.com

Sapphire has a new Radeon card coming, and it’s a dual-fan design Sapphire and AMD did not showcase the PULSE card at CES, but a new teaser posted by Sapphire on social media suggests its release is imminent. Sapphire is already known to be developing two models: PURE and NITRO+, both of which...

videocardz.com

They might actually have both variants for the same card, I think it was MSI or Asus who did similar for the 5080, having double and triple fan variants of the same card. For me it all comes down to noise and temps. I'm used to my 0RPM mode for the (currently 100%) time I'm not running any games or anything and even when I do, it shouldn't be noticeably louder.

From that picture with all the models, the one third from the bottom on the left looks cool, I think that might be the PowerColour Red Devil? Pulls too much power though... and the recommended PSU was 900W.

The Sapphire Pulse might be the one to go for, provided it ticks all my boxes and there is stock at decent prices. If the 9070-not XT gives decent performance above a 7900XT for £500 or below, I might swing for that instead of the bigger XT. More chance of a cooler and quieter card with less power draw.

Any ideas of power consumption? Someone mentioned 700W

Depends on what model and what card, the 700W was the PSU recommendation which is actually fairly low compared to other cards. Nvidia GPUs tend to need 1000W+ these days. Some of the 9070XTs have been set as 750W PSU recommendations and others are a bit higher at 900W. But the 150W extra is probably due to a 3rd 8-pin cable, to have headroom in case the cable ever pulls the max wattage, which I don't think they would, even on an overclocked card. Maybe about 10-20% extra, but not significantly more.

this sucks I'll have to buy a new PSU as well.

 

[Besty]

Yep, you need to read the spec sheet (and the 5070ti sheet) both the 9070XT and the 5070ti are either 330W or 300W bios at stock.

In all cases the stock PSU recommendation is 750W but this is OCUK and if your system is OC'ed to the balls, youll need a 900W+ PSU.

 

[willeverton]

All the hype seems to be about the XT, understandably. Would love some leaks about the non XT price and performance. I'm leaning towards that if these leaked XT AIB prices turn out to be true!

 

[Besty]

My prediction will be Feb 27th.

Feb 20th - 5070ti 'launch' i.e. 1 card in stock at OCUK
Feb 27th - AMD Live launch in a studio for 9070 series
March 6th - 9070 series launch at OCUK.

Updated.

Feb 19th - 5070ti MSRP (unobtainium) reviews
Feb 20th - 5070ti Non-MSRP (pre-scalpled for your pleasure) reviews and 'launch' at OCUK
Feb 28th - AMD Live launch in a studio for 9070 series *confirmed*
March 5th - 5070 non-Ti launch at OCUK
March 6th - 9070 series launch at OCUK *confirmed*

Updated.

Feb 19th - 5070ti FE reviews <<<<
Feb 20th - 5070ti Non-FE reviews and 'launch' at OCUK

March 5th - 5070 non-Ti launch at OCUK
March 6th - 9070 series launch at OCUK *confirmed*

There is no FE versions of this card.

 

[hornetstinger]

I might re-jig two PSUs into my case then, use a 750W plus another one with Y cable.

Tidy! Lol at me. I only own one of those games.

 

[GhostDog1981]

could you do us a favour, scroll back and run the black ops 6 benchmark pls. at stock.

I’m out today. So will do so when I get back.

is it captain hardcore?

Depends on what psu you have. And what card you're getting. If the card you get only has 2 8 pin connectors it's, theoretically limited to 375w, at least to be within spec. So honestly any good quality 650w and up should have no problems.

That 900w number is a little loopy, I guess it's assuming a worst case scenario. Terrible psu, terrible power from the wall, massively power hungry cpu, and enough RGB to illuminate a pier

Should be fine I guess but I do have spare PSUs a enermax and corsair one 500W so that could be used for CPU/motherboard with 750W for GPU.

Just realised I don’t own the game and can’t download a benchmark for it. Sorry.

I have MW3 which at stock 1440p hits 135 fps on extreme no upscaling and overclocked hits 147fps if it helps.

ahh its OK buddy.

Does anyone else here have Blackops 6 and can run a benchmark with the AMD GPU at stock with the IGN settings? 7800XT would be ideal but if not any stock AMD 7 series GPU card will do. A 7900XTX would be nice.....

Spoiler: IGN settings

I do. Can't see what settings they are. 7900GRE with a 5900X, also can only run 1440p
