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

[Bidley]

But its cool to throw out random placeholder numbers from some other country to farm likes from AMD fanboys.

You can already check the UK prices on certain retailers. There are cards in the sub £800 to £900 range.

If the 9070 XT is £750. AMD will be cutting its price very quickly like they had to do for the 7900 XT. If they want actual market share with their first generation ML FSR, then £650 max is what they can charge, and that will still lose to people wanting to spend sub £600, i.e. 5070 buyers.

I feel like you quoted the wrong post as I don't really know how any of that relates to what I said, but ok.

AMD may well charge £650 for the reference (funny how they couldn't charge more than $350 a month ago, apparently) but then you have to factor in the AIB and Overscalpers' cut. Which is why I say only the relative MSRP is of interest - and we don't know AMD's. So having this ******* contest every week is a bit fruitless.

Funny though!

Considering most recent releases seem to come with endless stuttering problems I'm struggling to see the appeal of a £700+ gpu over a £650 ps5 pro.

RDNA1.5 no hardware VRS, PSSR having FSR 1.0 like issues, stuck with a ryzen 7 3600 CPU performance etc

I was agreeing with you. Probably didn't come across too well though.

The only real comparison to make until prices fully settle is MRSP. Outside of crypto mining booms, prices for base models settle close to them if not lower.

I'm currently playing Final Fantasy Rebirth on my PC and I've looked at some YouTube comparisons and I'm pretty sure I'm getting a crap deal on my pc.

Gotcha. Yeah the initial street price is going to be wild, and I don't expect AMD to base their MSRP on 5070ti AIB prices. They'll be interested in the performance and go from there.

That 4080 - 7900xtx performance tier is going to be really congested, with the 5070ti, 5080 and the 9070xt all sitting there as well (potentially), they'd be mad to price it close to any of those.

It's funny that when matey came out and said they were delaying until March, everyone started losing their minds, when actually it's turned out to be a pretty wise move. They've let Nvidia botch their own launch without having to lift a finger.

I'll say now that if it's on a par with 7900xtx in raster, and with 60% or whatever better RT and FSR4, £650 is a great MSRP for upper mid-tier.

I had a brief dalliance with a 7900xtx, and had a worse experience in Cyberpunk than with my 3080 at the same settings (I know CP is an Nvidia sandbox). If they can even up the performance then they're onto a winner.

Honestly the pro is an amazing bit of hardware. It really is. I have no bias and love PC but the hate this machine gets given how well it performs seems very odd. Performance move on Hogwarts, blackops, kingdom come, lords of fallen have brought me back from feeling quite upset with performance on base PS5.

Definitely mainstream pricing there!

$650 works out at £620 in the UK and Powercolor is not one of the more expensive AMD OEMs IIRC. The RX7900XT has been in the same approximately price range for a while.

That means an RX9060XT will be a $500 card if an RX9070 non-XT is a $650 card.

£600+ for an RX9070 non-XT would need it to beat an RX7900XT at the very minimum. But the issue is the RX7900XT has 25% more VRAM and more memory bandwidth too.

I am not sure what games the Nvidia and AMD pricing cartel are playing here,but it will only mean people will keep graphics cards longer and longer as the cost increases. Longer term,they are going to end up with card sales shrinking more and more.

Whats the issue with Rebirth? I've only played couple hours with it using DLSS though

Stutters pretty frequently for me on a 3070ti with DLSS also on. Framerate is otherwise pretty good but the stutters are annoying

 

[aminegriffy]

LMAO I thought I panic bought the 4070 ti super but this one of them cases when I bought at the right time. I got the Stalker 2 bundle for £750 last week.

Doesn't matter games are optimised around consoles which is more important than specs.

Ah ok I thought it was maybe the TAA or something

So, looks like 9070xt will be doa at this price.

Though this is not an MBA card

I mean they want to be 'aggressive' on pricing, I've not seen any aggressive potential prices so far.

They have aggressive intent in emptying the pockets of their FOMO fans like Nvidia is doing?

Maybe it's the speed of an RTX4090?!

If they want £800 + from me it had better be that fast

 

[ICDP]

lol at these prices if accurate.

Read the article;

"we're not sure if it's in USD or Canadian dollars"

If it's CAD then it paints a very different picture.

Pricing "leaks" mean nothing until the MSRP is announced.

Double that price if it's a 4090 level

 

[Grim5]

MSRP means nothing these days, Nvidia has cards with an MSRP of $999 but are retailing for $1500 and cards with $2000 MSRP retailing for $3500

There just no logic here, MSRP is meaningless
