Unless you need the 24gb for something, I'd hate to have spent that much on a 7900xtx when the 9070xt is on a par in raster and actually faster at ray tracing.

Unless you need the 24gb for something, I'd hate to have spent that much on a 7900xtx when the 9070xt is on a par in raster and actually faster at ray tracing.
There aren't always tradeoffs, unless you're trying to strawman it with points about increasing the number of rays etc on a card you aren't going to buy. It's like saying that playing at my native resolution is a tradeoff, because I could always go to the highest DLDSR offering and completely gimp my performance.
While I'm sure the 5070ti PT experience will be a bit better, it's not something I'd base a purchase on, considering neither card will do it that well without quite a bit of sacrifice.
Here I am on Linux choosing AMD (or intel) because of the software stack"But Nvidia software stack!" is the usual response.

Nice to see there are sub 300mm options though for higher tier card.
I actually wouldn't surprised to see setups with many of them together, but for ML not gaming sadly.
Yeah But I was more on about 5070 Vs 9070 , gap between the 5070ti is decent
Thank **** for that.
$599 is very fair. $549 for the non-xt isn't great as many have said. I'll buy one if I can get one between £600 and £650 (so not from OCUK).
Kind of agree with HUB that it's not going to take the GPU market by storm (I'd be very happy to be proven wrong) but it's definitely a welcome break from the nightmare that has been the 50 series. But I think they were being a little negative.
The 9070xt pricing means that even if Nvidia floods the market with MSRP 5070tis, it'll be difficult to justify. AMD seem to have good supply which is a massive bonus.
So yeah, not a 30-yard outside-of-the-boot screamer, but a goal nonetheless. It's a real shame they didn't complete at a tier up.

Yeah I'm going to return it, hopefully with an overclock it will be faster in everything, hopefully EU pricing won't take the **** either

It's purely an upsell card. I very much doubt there will be as much stock of that card, compared to the 7090xt I would think it will be more for system builders etc.

Will be interesting to see if Nvidia suddenly "find" a load of 50 series stock just before the 6th March just to pee on Amds chips.
Not great for market share still keeping the 5070 alive , slightly below it would have probably buried it

The Sapphire Nitro+ range has a 12v-2x6 Power Connector in a rather odd placement and angle. Any thoughts?
All comes down to just how much they try and rip us off in the UK now, and in particular from places like OC who are now effectively scalpers in their own right judging on the prices of the Nvidia cards at the moment. Like the mobsters of our avatars, everyone wants a piece of the pie!
I literally witnessed a 5070Ti change from 799 to 860 in like 3hrs on this site.
The 9070XT is tempting but only for the 600. The loss of DLSS which is better supported than FSR and CUDA for Machine Learning experiments counts for something.

I thought they were a bit overly negative too, I wonder if having recorded several different videos for different price points to release immediately on the deadline factored in, trying to make them distinct
The 9070 will probably be 10% faster than the 5070 in raster but 25% slower in RT for the same price so pretty terrible tbh, should have been about $450
I guess it makes sense that if you're going out of your way to put a smaller connector, to use that fact to hide it away. Will make for some very clean builds.The Sapphire Nitro+ range has a 12v-2x6 Power Connector in a rather odd placement and angle. Any thoughts?
I don't like the connector, but the chance of failure is considerably less from a 350w card than a 600w card. And don't yet know how it's wired up, if it more like the way the 3090 implemented it it's then basically fine.

It looks pretty sleek tbh!

It will give a "cleaner" appearance than if it was located on the edge of the GPU nearest the side panel of your case.The Sapphire Nitro+ range has a 12v-2x6 Power Connector in a rather odd placement and angle. Any thoughts?
