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

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.

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.
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.

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

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

5700XT is probably still not a particularly bad card
Why is that?

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.

To have a chance to be as popular as RX480 and RX5700 were, 9070XT can't be more than $600 and closer to $500.
Its a same size chip as 7800XT, same memory, maybe a bit more elaborate cooler for higher TDP. So AMD should be able to produce it for similar price.
Sounds like they will go with a terrible high initial price again, get terrible reviews then drop prices later when damage is done
as usual
