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

[humbug]

Spoiler: OC Card Performance Estimates

For £580 i like this....

 

[MyBrainz]

So did AMD score a goal today?

 

[michty_me]

Flipping heck, they delivered the wrong thing.... wanted a 9070 XT

Hows that card feeling now?

Yeah but it bounced off both posts first.

 

[Subliminal Aura]

There are no MBA cards, AMD just used them as a reference point.

Yeah I can't see a nitro+ going for £600 - it's got to + £200 ie £800 for a nitro

Probably an upsell to the RX5070XT.

Definitely, but it's a missed opportunity to smash Nvidia

Doesn't make much sense he said in the video about partner cards being able to jump upto 340 watts, so what cards are going to be reference card spec as outlined in the tables?

 

[Bassmansam]

Shall i sell my 4070ti super and get the 9070xt?

 

[MissChief]

Now watch as AMD score an own goal by having about 5 cards available at launch.

I mean anything can happen in this market but I could only see the top end cards being £750-800, though Gibbo’s probably currently sat holding a beer.

No doubt. Really hope that this is a 'proper' launch where retailers don't see this as an opportunity to inflate prices themselves due to demand as I can see there being significantly more demand for the 70XT than there is for the 70ti. I doubt 70ti prices will come down, more likely XT prices will rise up to close the gap to shift ti stock.

TLDR where does this sit performance-wise against the 5080? Sorry to be lazy.

Basically where the 5070ti sits lol

I agree,but I wonder if yields are good enough,that AMD is trying to push the RX9070XT instead.

But even $529 would have been enough to say they undercut Nvidia.

I reckon the 9070 will oc to xt performance so if xt stock is out, could be the one to get. That's if amd have not put some restrictions on power draw.

Yeah but 8% Overclock required to the 9070XT for stock 5080 FE raster performance (in some games) might give the bods spanking 1350 on a 5080 pause for thought.

The question is, can you get an 8% overclock out of a 9070XT.

Sorry... i messed up the RT one, should be...

Gibbo has already debunked that, womp womp.

 

[harmattan]

Did they give a release date? And any idea of UK pricing? Also want benchmarks as this could tempt me away from my 3080 if performance is good.

- On sale March 6 (reviews on March 5)
- UK pricing likely 1:1 to US, so £550, £599. Retail will be more.
- The had very specific benchmarks across 30 games in the presentation (that match earlier leaks). 9070xt is -2% 5070ti on average.

Either would be very nice upgrade for a 3080 with an actual, honest-to-goodness price/performance uplift.

I wouldn't be in your shoes.

Nah, AMD have had stock sat there for almost 2 month at this point. Then literally delayed the launch while it was in the shop

So far Nvidia is smashing Nvidia better than AMD ever could with all the problems (cables, drivers issues, pricing, availability etc.). It didn't shake their fanbase much, though.

Base models at MSRP or closest to MSRP I suspect, and premium added for oc models

The cards exist, they're just not for sale x
