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

GPU sales data says otherwise

Only a sith deals in absolutes.

No it doesn't, not unless you're suggesting the only thing people take into account when buying a GPU is power draw.

Nvidia always find a way of giving you less and then somehow have its fans die on the hill of advocating less is better.
Its quite amazing actually.

It's the Apple way. Jensen's goal has always been to emulate them, not sure he ever imagined he would be running a company more valuable than them.

 

[Mercurial]

True. I try to keep around 320W maximum for a GPU. The excess heat from anything more than that heats my small room up too quickly.

This is very true, it's helpful this time of year, but in the summer without AC it really bumps up the room temperature. An Xbox series X has a whole system TDP of 170w, my son uses one in his bedroom, it is like a furnace in the summer months when he plays for an extended period.

Imagine what a 600w 5090 would be like.

The irony is you end up like the proverbial boiled frog. You don’t notice the gradual temperature rise until you leave the room and come back a few minutes later. Or if someone walks in and says “it’s like a sauna in here”

Yep, nobody wants their room to turn into the proverbial Dutch oven with that hot sweaty arse smell mixed in when you've been sitting there for hours.

Haha, the shucks of your arse is all wet

personal view, iGPU and streaming will pretty much kill off this industry...

This is far from reality, iGPUs are progressing but relatively slowly. Even the new Strix Halo is far, far away from replacing desktop GPUs.

As for streaming, there are just simply too many tens of millions of gamers around the world whose internet might good enough to play games online, but not good enough for streaming. Also, internet provision and progression can be meaured in decades, depending on the country.

I think if you are on a 7800XT or 7900 series it is a neglible gain (unless you value RT and FSR), unless priced very keenly due the 16gb RAM on the 9070.

6800XT/6900XT, i'm tempted to say the same. If I didn't need a GPU for another machine I would be certainly waiting if the new cards are priced £600+ until the inevitable price drop, or even skip completely. In fact I may do so anyway if it all gets a bit scalpy like the recent NV launch and go 2nd hand (a first for me).

Edit - for context, I am currently on a 6900XT.

I would not upgrade from any of them the cut off is about 6700xt and then only if you need the extra grunt in games you play

the exception if people who want to sell and then buy

 

[Joxeon]

You know what else is amazing? DLSS, RT, FrameGen, but AMD always find a way of giving you less and then somehow have its fans die on the hill of advocating less is better. It is indeed quite amazing actually.

Yea. I can do that too

That’s because AMD is always playing catch up rather than innovating and coming up something new and different. They need a Vcache like moment.

I’d be worried about being left behind again, (like I am now with 7000series), with UDNA in 2026, say they bring out a better version for FSR4 that can only utilise dedicated tensor cores (AMDs version) that would lock out 9070 series from using it.

With the card you have now, I’m fairly certain you would be looking at UDNA anyway.

 

[d_brennen]

AMD have shown they are willing to innovate, with such things as HBM. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a bank of high speed cache memory stacked either on die or next to it on the next gen

[humbug]

So no link then

Nuff said really.

You was loving FSR 3 FrameGen not long ago too. Too funny.

Anyway, i replied to a post. Now we being steered off topic. Going to be interesting to so how many 7000 series users upgrade to 9000 series soon

Not just FSR 3, AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) I was impressed by how it near quadrupoles frame rates and it does it at the driver level, so it does it in any game, weather it has FSR or not.

Now so far as i can tell there are no artefacts in this, there may well be and i'm not seeing them, i also believe that through actual analysis by someone like Tim from HUB he will find them, DLSS 4 FrameGenn has them, however AMD already have 4X FrameGen of sorts and you don't need the game to support it.

It just works. But no.... despite being able to use it in any game i chose i still don't.

Just watched HUBs 5070ti review, the stage has never been set better for AMD to take market share, at the current gouged price that 5070ti is pathetic, barely beating a 4080s in hardly anything.

Honestly if AMD can get close to that performance and go in at £550 they’d massacre Nvidia right now.

We all know they won’t come in at £550 for the 9070XT and I have a nagging fear they’re going to charge £699 or even £799 for the msrp models.

If the prices are reasonable its not so painful to go from rdna4 to udna? Appreciate it may be sooner than you'd like though.

Got that link or did you make it up about what HUB said

Yes, of course the whole thing is a conspiracy. use your own time to dig through HUB's back catalogue to be part of said conspiracy.
