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

[GhostDog1981]

Oops

lol I will probably be compelled to chop my 7800XT into a well known purveyor of used electronics soon!

9070XT for £600 (hope OCUK have a few msrp models) would be a relative steal but there were XTXs dropping to £670 in November which it closely aligns to in performance.

When the train actually arrives:

I'm on a hype train
Cant believe this stuff
I'm on a hype train
I can never get enough
I'm on a hype train
Ready to crash and burn
I'll never learn
I'm on a hype train

Good or bad?

AMD Radeon RX 9070 series gaming performance leaked: RX 9070XT is 42% faster on average than 7900 GRE at 4K - VideoCardz.com

Here’s how fast is RDNA4 according to AMD Yes, we have official figures. Like we told you earlier this week, AMD was planning a press briefing this week for the media. We were not invited, but we sent our best agents to gather intel, and the mission was a success. Before you look at the […]

They don't offer much though but hassle free
Its not just raster , it's the uplift in RT and hardware upscaling and use less power

I don't like the look of any of the AIB other than maybe red devil and nitro but they'll be at a premium wished someone did one based on that MBA looks sleek and not over the top

Its interesting if what AMD are doing is comparing it to the 7900 GRE.

Yeah and I paid 579 for the nitro version. I am not going to get excited yet.

 

[MCFC_ANDY]

they wanted mainstream targeting, thats around £500-£600 max, anymore AMD are just being AMD yet again.

Ok, if it's 4090 performance for ~£700 then I’ll jump on the hype train too.

Its not... in the same way that the 7900 XTX is not 4090 performance.

Having said that the GPU die is half the size of the 4090.

Oh yeh, i read it wrong .

Needs to be ~£600 or less to be worth the hype then.

A 7900XTX for a £100 cheaper than before isnt that exciting.

Hopefully it will be positioned at the 7900GRE price point, in which case it will be a pretty good deal.

I doubt if it is faster than the XTX consistently. Also the RT performance will most likely be around 4070Ti Super level.

 

[kute]

get a better video card if you need upscaling. you've been sucked in

There is no such thing as a videocard that could make VR ACC look decent. Maybe, maybe a 5090. But telling someone to spend 4 grand to try and fight for playable FPS/clarity instead of clicking on an option is absolute, frothing, raving insanity, right? You can see that?

With 3.1 DLSS, while I had no problem with it on a monitor, when the assets are a millimeter from your eyes, it looked very blurry. Even Quality mode was unusably blurry.

With the new DLSS - even performance mode looks good somehow.

If it's 7900GRE priced think that will be best deal we had from either company for pretty long time

If these numbers are all right, expect less than 7900XTX in Raster but more than 7900XTX in RT, by about 5-10% on each.

You can't always compare next gen prices to end of life sale prices, if they actually did that new GPU's would end up at 0$ at some point, £1000 GPU EOL discount to £700, new GPU £700 and EOL discount to £400, new GPU £400 EOL discount £300, i mean come on...

People doing that, including tech jurnoes is why Nvidia stopped discounting EOL GPU's, and i don't blame them ffs.... people need to think a bit more.

You're probably right, i think it will actually end up just below the 7900 XTX in raster alone.

yeh.

They've got to make it in the £550-600 range then, as if its £700 or more, there is no price/perf improvement and it will be far too close to the RRP of the 5070ti.

The 7900XTX was regularly available for under £800 all through last year.

I'm sorry, but if the 9070xt is not in the £550-£650 bracket, it is a complete failure in terms of being an interesting release, and really only worth massive hype if nearer the £600 mark or less.

It would be a great card.

Although once again I'm annoyed that 2 and a half years ago I bought a 4080 and the only sort of upgrade is a 4 grand mess. I find it weird that I'm willing to drop 2 thousand dollars this moment on a good GPU and nobody has made one. Nobody wants my money. I'd even buy a 5090 if it was in stock. I find this whole situation a bit bizarre. Is Nvidia making these cards to be high end exclusive items, or do they want money?

 

[Jono8]

Yeh. Will definitely be worth some hype if that is the case, and it might actually (for once) give Nvidia something to think about.

The xx70 level cards were usually between £450-£600 before the mining craze pushed everything up. It's only Nvidia pushing prices up regularly which has conditioned many into expecting £700+ pricing. I expect AMD to launch at an msrp of $599 max but that is not going to gain them any market share. They need to be at $549 to entice people.
