This is the thing - AMD has nowhere near Nvidia production capacity as TSMC and their main source of income are CPU and enterprise. Radeon department is needed for consoles development but selling graphics cards not their priority for sure. It's likely they don't even have capacity to gain much of the market even if they gave them away for free. In other words, higher pricing might be on purpose to match what actual production capacity they have.

*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***
- Thread starter humbug
- Start date
What makes you think AMD doesn't do the same? They are making a killing on enterprise market as well and that's where their main focus is too. Then CPUs and consoles. Radeon is just by the way, clearly.
That's not how it works behind the scenes.
Vendors can drop prices and then do refunds in various ways (be it discounting prices on next shipment to let retailer recover the difference, cashback, credit etc.). Big retailers like ocuk have loads of ways to drop the pricing mid sales and get the monies back from vendors one way or another. As long as AMD decides that's how it should be, they can make it happen. This is exactly why the price in retail isn't set yet in stone and AMD is still debating what it should be, because they can make such adjustments with will propagate through retail very quickly. Then it is in retailers hands what they really want to charge and what the agreement is between them and vendors.

Tells me that's not how it is then explains that's exactly how it is only with a caveat that vendors can get rebates.That's not how it works behind the scenes.
Not a chance - the 9070 is around 7900GRE performance, which is basically the same as a 6950XT.
9060XT is rumoured to be 32 CU for 2048 Shaders. The 7600XT is a 2048 Shader part.
Allowing for architecture improvements and clock speed boosts, I think it will come somewhere near a 7700XT maybe?
That's exactly why you can see much lower prices initially then jumping up on Nvidia cards. Hell, a lot of the time retail do not even pay for the stock before it sells, depending on their agreement with specific vendor. In other words, the pricing might not exist yet till 5 minutes before premiere and not even retail knows what it would be. This is why leaks of retail pricing are often so far from reality. So no, I'm not confirming what you said, I'm saying it's often the opposite.

Nvidia is a monopoly though, they don't have to collude with anyone. Other parties on the other hand...
But in this case, it's just very broken market.

Gamersnexus saying AMD haven't decided the price properly yet is very very worrying lol
They *will* at this point have a card if launch is next week

That's not what I've seen from the leaks.
It was ~42% with the 9070XT and that was with RT
The official leaks don't suggest that , I'd guess 7800xt , 5060ti 4070
What about the results without RT? They had list of games listed

Oh the percentage is averaged with the RT results included to make it 42% that makes it more difficult lol

That's bad if true.
The hype train has really taken a nose dive these past few pages! I've got to say, if nothing else, I've really really enjoyed this threadI've not been this active in the forums for the past 10 years
