Rumor has it that AMD won't lunch RDN4 gpu by the end of this year cos there is to much stock of Navi 31 gpus on the market...

'Not a budget brand'. So no, they won't.
This is true for all GPUs, this gen has not sold well due to high prices all round and even with the recent round of price cuts, its still too little.
The 7700XT needs to be no more then £250 for example.

I would agree with you, but if you sampled what folk on here post.. and you apply the 80% mindshare generally - most folk wont touch AMD (Radeon). It just looks like they didnt wind down the orders earlier in the year.
Navi 31 is expensive to produce due to the cache modules on the 7900 chips I doubt they could stomach selling them for a loss. But I do agree they were to expensive when they first came out.

With the PS5 Pro getting some hybrid of between RDNA3/4 offering "much better" ray tracing, you would want to wait and see the new cards improvement here. The GRE segment models will be the ones to get really interesting, lets see if they do offer decent prices this gen.

Good solid card at a great price that, only 10% slower than the 3070!Reason why I am still on this 3060Ti

Yea its been a decent card.. one of those 'performance' boosting driver updates would be nice right now
Unfortunately not but the work AMD did for Sony with PSSR looks interesting. Fingers crossed it’s in the new cards.
They seem to be getting better at keeping the performance quiet. I'm fine with them not competing with the 5090 if they offer something at a decent price that has 7900XT+ performance with lower power draw.

After conversations with AiB's Galah Steve isn't very confident about the performance, they called it 'solidly mid-range'.
An XTX deal at about £700 during BF is going to be the one to get imo.

I think an RDNA4 card around the 7900XT raster but with double the RT improvement, with some kind of Radeon version of dlss using an AI (think back to the recent PSSR PS5 pro talk) sounds like what they are aiming for - being the £500-600 mark is something that would be interesting.
This would be a great product IMO and so long as the performance is at that kind of level I’m very likely going to buy one.
I would obviously love to see AMD aiming big, but at the same time I would rather spend £500-600 on a solid card than £2000…

Well till now the ray tracing and dlss side of it comparing my current card to a 7900XT gets virtually no gain, so the outlay is pointless. Others will be in a similar position and as you say many wont want to be spending between one and two grand.
The 500 pound segment should be the most competitive. Intel who hopefully can share the battlemage, and nvidia with the 5070 should present what that kind of money will get you.
I had a 4090 and a 7900 XTX until recently and I just don’t use them enough to justify it. I think I’m going midrange from now on. I barely play games as it is, kind of bored of throwing so much money at this hobby just so I can have the latest flashy stuff.
I'm just looking at midrange these days for similar reasons. Must be getting old
The pace of improvement seems to be slowing, and the hardware is well ahead of the software assuming you aren't trying to max out 4K settings on AAA games.
