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

[GhostDog1981]

Same thing I ask myself why are people paying well above MSRP for 5080 and £900+ for 5070ti when you could have got that with 4080 super, just have to peak into the pre order Nvidia thread

Guess people without cards have no choice but everyone else…….. not so sure…

£600 doesn't seem that bad when you see what people are currently paying

 

[GhostDog1981]

This is why AMD bringing similar performance for a bit cheaper assuming the price is above $650 is not a win for consumers, less bad doesn’t equal good.

Should be £500 tops really but AMD always succeed to miss an opportunity lol.

 

[SpudMaster]

XTX performance rehashed in the 9070XT should be not more than £400-500 as per previous gen releases (7800xt (aka the REAL 7700XT) 98% of a 6900xt/3080 at £500, 6700xt similar perf to a 2080ti for £479 need I go on lol).

Don’t know why everyone is willing to pay £600 for something that should cost tops £500.

I paid £699 for my 7900XT about 18 months ago so anything more than £600 for a card that's supposedly going to offer similar performance but with better RT in 2025 is very disappointing.
No wonder AMD are only releasing FSR4 for 9070 cards

It was never for upgrade for people already on 7900xt / xtx when they not going for the top end this generation, but that level of performance after 2 years 7900xtx should be £550 now

I'm interested because there are enough AAA games I want to play now that my 1070ti can't play (normally play indie/aa/esports, so it has been fine for them) & I want to upgrade to the AOC Q25G4S when it comes out, so want something that is fine for 1440p. Want AI upscaling because I'm cheap and will keep the card for a long and that will extend it and like it or not, devs are using it and frame gen as a crutch now.

I don't want to get bent over though, so price/performance has to be good. Getting nothing there from nvidia, if it's not, I'll just skip the AAA games for now, stick with 1070ti until the typical amd price drops.

Agreed, however what we have to factor in is that things like RT whether we like it or not are now being baked into the engines which means the effective frame rate on these modern games will increase substantially over the XTX. Also without banging a drum here and I am sure it is something that Nvidia users have been aware for a few years now but AI upscaling is a thing to behold.

I have only become aware of it due to the PS5 pro however Kingdom come 2 and Black Myth Wukong look amazing at 4k on a 65 inch tv with me sat at a few feet on a bean bag and I am now more than happy to pay for these features even if the Raster is the same as the XTX.

Indeed.

Just because Nvidia dropped an absolute turd in terms of price/perf increase, it doesn't mean AMD have to.

I'm fact if AMd genuinely want to grow market share they absolutely have to do their own thing price wise.

 

[RavenXXX2]

$549 XT $449 none xt

That's what I'm going with. Disruptive pricing.

Why is there such a massive amount of people with no cards though??

We've literally had all cards readily available for RRP the whole of last year pretty much.

I know there will always be newcomers, but the vast majority will be upgrading....and the 5xxx is a complete stinker at any sort of meaningful price/perf gains.

 

[Killer7xx]

I'm not convinced it beats a 4070Ti

It won't do unless it clocks above 3 GHz from stock which I highly doubt. With an OC I could see it beating it.

Nothing else explains the insane demand for overpriced cards.

 

[michty_me]

To be fair, with the absolute cluster of the 5000 series... I think I would likely sit back and wait a few months before jumping in as soon as they are released even if they were amazingly priced.

Yeah I have no intention of buying one my point was simply that we shouldn't be paying the same for basically the same performance 18 months later

Being available at their msrp, doesn't mean they were a good purchase.

I think I'm just too old now. When I look at the costs of GPUs, I'd put myself in the 60 class tier, and those cards are all pretty ****. Many other things I'd rather waste my money on, than the bit that makes games go.
Of course, if a genuinely decent price/performance card was put out for the higher tiers, it'd easily change my mind.

Fomo and marketing does. Same as it was with iPhones for years - many were upgrading every year till it became clear the changes are just incremental and slow. Same will eventually happen with GPUs.

I find it hilarious how many launch cards ended up on MM a few weeks after launch In past, clearly fomo regret or their partner found out how much they actually paid lol
