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

[Martini1991]

So it looks like if AMD price the 9070XT above $600 then thats ruling out at least 90% of potential customers which is why AMD will stay at 10% market share or even lose market share.

$500 would be crackers

Are we there yet?

Not yet, but if AMD miss this wide open goal then I'm sure they will have reached their Final Destination

why? have you been conditioned to expect $700 mid range cards....

I'm in agreement, just seen the 5060ti is supposed to be circa 4-500 dollar, which for top entry level GPU is crackers

 

[Martini1991]

I mean

Id love it to be the case, but I'm think it'll be more like £550-650 for the 9070XT

It should be £500 from a point of view of a mid range card, hell I'd buy it at launch if it was.

 

[ben90]

Do you sell gfx cards?

I got sick of the price gouging so I've been in my shed coming up with a prototype. I'm just waiting to see what AMD price at so I can aggressively undercut them by £2.50

I'm happy to pay £4000 for a 1030GT so I get that Nvidia high end gaming performance.

Well tbf you have had the 40 series to go back and see the stagnation and pricing - its nothing new.

Great video, lets hope AMD are listening.

Genuinely enjoy Steve's videos. He is one of the only ones left who I think tells things as they are.

While you're correct, a lot of that is because of additional cost. Inflation has gone through the roof in the last 4 years, development costs have increased and fab costs are up every year with TSMC charging more and more for wafers.

I am not saying they should be hitting $700, they have gotten greedy as well, but the days of $300 mid range cards are gone.

 

[Martini1991]

I do remember the 5700XT, that's probably the closest product to what this 9070XT is

In terms of AMD had a mid range card instead of a higher end card

With that in mind, £500 should be expected, but that card in and of itself was higher priced than expected given AMD had previously said about the mid range and $200 cards in the 480 lol

 

[gpuerrilla]

Is that how much they were as I think you bought one right?

 

[McPhee]

They were $399, which is ~$500 when adjusted for inflation.

The other $100-$200 on top is how much the price of the mid-range has increased in 6 years...

Why would you want to get to disappointment sooner?

im buying Pro Plus and 15 redbulls to prolong it.

There is a very loud section of people wanting those price levels but there is another, larger section that wont pay $1,500 for a 5080 and an even larger section that dont want to wait until April for any product from any vendor at any price level.

 

[Martini1991]

Pretty sure launch price 5700XT was like £380

 

[Martini1991]

5700XT is probably still not a particularly bad card

Yeah I would think this is acceptable (the ball park figure, not AMD's mainstream claim), so judging their previous form this will be where the 9070 non xt will start.
