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

[Bidley]

I obviously didn't describe my concerns very well, I'm not bothered in the slightest by being able to see a bit of cable. My concern was having to deal with 3 x 8-pin connectors. In the example picture it's fine, but what if your case doesn't have a gap to pass through right at the exit point? Also in my experience of cable management that section is usually one of the busier points behind the motherboard tray to suddenly add 3 x 8-pin connectors to.


Makes you wonder why everyone has a go at Nvidia for any issues with it.


I think it's fine if AMD do it.
But yes it does seem to go against the advice we got with these connectors. I'd say you'd think Sapphire would've tested it, but then you'd have thought Nvidia and it's board partners also did some testing but it didn't prevent issues with the connector.

Just buy an Nvidia card mate

What case do you have ?

I believe in the field they call it nvidiaitis.

I'd go for a 1000w unit, Something from Seasonic would be good.

I second this, I actually went with an Antec platinum. Solid unit but manufactured by Seasonic.

What case do you have ?

I guess the more important question is "what case will it go in?"
So it'll probably start off in a Corsair 5000D, but in time may end up in a Corsair 540 AIR. Unless I end up buying the Antec Flux Pro that I keep getting tempted by.

As I've stated, I wish I could but AMD might be the only realistic option.

All modern cases should be fine, think you are over thinking it

You're probably right, I have a tendency to do that.
To b honest the Nitro+, based on previous generations, will probably be more than I want to pay. I guess it'll depend a bit on reviews, but I don't care about fancy RGB stuff, I just want a card that runs cool (and quiet). It'd be nice if I didn't get a dud in the overclocking/undervolting department but I don't see why that tend would end now!

EDIT: never mind, should've read the article not just the headline...

Will we even be able to get the 9070XT at MSRP? I don't know how AMD prices work compared to Nvidia's,what end up £100+ above MSRP

Don't know yet. They've had a mixed history in the past. I do think they will try, and there's a lot more stock so that bodes well. I can see us getting stuff at or near msrp for the first run at least. If they sell out super fast the price may climb though
