the 9070xt is the 7800xt replacement though, not the 7900xt or 7900xtx..hense why it's a 16gb card...renaming their cards to 'be in line' with nvida..urgghhh why. Just make a good card and do your own thing..gamers can work it out

Sticking with my 4070Ti for sure. Ever game I have works well enough and I have a huge backlog now, so pointless really.
Not sure why you are mentioning the card you have hammering the games you play. Was that not the case a few weeks ago when you showed interest in upgrading?

You'd think with the 9070 being priced well people wouldn't buy the 4070s. I checked multiple competitors and every single card is gone now lol. Is the 5070 rumoured to be worse than the 4070s or what ? Cause 2 weeks ago I could find plenty of 4070s in stock.
I've usually had sapphire pulse versions but tempted by a higher wattage version when I jump in. Not to keen on the nitro at the minute, especially with that connector even thought it should be safe.

I don't have an interest in upgrading. Never have as the performance was never going to be there to interest me hence why i mentioned my card still doing the business.

Probably say upgrading to 32GB could be worthwhile, if you're running at 1440p. I've had several games go above 16GB now.
That's system ram not vram.
Also I'm using a debloated lite version of windows 11

The way things seem to go is that stuff is cheaper on launch day. 9800X3D, 50 series only increased in price thereafter. They'll probably go down in a few months' time.
It's sounding like AMD are doing rebates so most(!) retailers should hit MSRP for the base cards. The Nitros, Taichis, Red Devils etc will not (obviously).

Chinese prices seem to be showing cards like the Sapphire Pulse being MSRP. Would be nice if we get them for that.
Do we think the cards with a higher boost clock from factory will overclock/undervolt better or will it just be silicone lottery? Trying to decide if I can get away with one of the entry level cards or if I should go for one of the more expensive ones.

Depends on price difference. I certainly wouldn't pay another £100 for oc model

It looks like the Powercolor Reaper is 4999 Yuan, so expected to be around $599.
Then the Powercolor Red Devil Black is 6699 Yuan, so expected to be around $803.
EDIT: Ah @RavenXXX2 beat me to it.

Because it's the 7800xt replacement... The 7900xt was to compete with the 4080, and the 7900xtx was meant to compete with the 4090. AMD have stated multiple times they're not doing high end gpu's this time, so that rules out the 7900xt and 7900xtx replacement... In their launch event they even showed slide saying 85% of gamers purchased a card under $700, so that's their target audience this time round...they're trying to increase mkt share, and that's not by going high end. hopefully frees up production for more 9700xt's. Even though they've had time to build up inventory and are meant to be producing more compared to last gen, it may not be enough...Remember most buyer skip a generation before buying a new card, so they'll be coming from the 6000 series amd or 3000 series nvidia. This was also lockdown when demand went through the roof (not lack of supply..they actually increase supply at time, it was just demand was more than double)..that and the paper launch of nvidia means that not only are the catering for their own AMD upgraders, they may have to cater for a lot of nvidia buyers also, as they have nothing worthwile in this price bracket at the moment...now seeing as nvidia have 85% market share, even if 10% move to amd, that might double the demand...in which case you'll see amd run out of stock fairly quickly also. Gibbo saying he has a fair few thousand though, so not expecting a nvidia launch where it went from 'coming soon' to refresh and 'out of stock'Personally I think they'll see well..looking around at other platform threads, a fair few people waiting for the 9070xt now....all depends if they have msrp cards though..shove up at £800, and they'll sit on the shelf
They won't, you cant buy nvidia right now, 5070ti performance at £800 will sell simply because Nvidia have abandoned gamers with no supply. Look how the 7900x/xtx have been selling out. No Nvidia stock is a default AMD win.

Damn, a Red Devil will be £800? Why go for that over a 5070Ti if prices settled back to msrp? It's sad that the mid tier cards are now far too expensive for most gamers.

£800.. I'm out.
nitro+ too expensive for the list?
prob going for saphire or gigabyte as they seem to have dual hdmi, which is what I need..suprising the asus tuf doesn't as the nvidia version do, but being tuf, they'd prob be horrendously expensive (unlike the 3000 launch where they were only a little more expensive i seem to remember...asus seem to have pushed it upmarket in price)
