Have got my eye on a red devil 9070XT or Pulse, just hope the price is right and there is availabilty and dont regret just getting the 7900XT for £629 now. As soon as i seen Nvidia pricing in Jan it was a no from me. Might be rocking my 5700XT a while longer.

- Thread starter humbug
- Start date
Possibly £800 for the super silly special edition one. You know, similar to the ridiculously expensive Vanguard launch edition 5070tioooo errrr what's happened to this thread ... I initially called £800 for a top of the line 5070XT and was shouted down (well there was a lot of crying to be fair)
Have there been new pricing leaks ?

That would be awesome, unlocking the clock speed and power limit is key - just being able to increase clocks will make the 9700 perform very close to the 9700xt
PSA for those who care
RX9000 does not support full display port 2.1 bandwidth
Only affects people with 4k 240hz screens really

And even then it just means needing to use DSC to get that refresh rate
Correct, though some people swear DSC is crap. I don't personally mind DSC
It basically means 4K 240Hz will need DSC (Display Stream Compression).
You know, for all those people using a $549 - $599 GPU with a $1500 - $3000 monitor. I think the vast majority are going to be fine
Incidentally expect this to become a thing now in some Nvidia biased reviews. AMD DP2.1 has been doing 54Gbps for the past few gens now. Nvidia supported up to 48Gbps on the 4000 series. As such DP bandwidth was not “important”. 5000 series now support full 80Gbps, so expect Nvidia marketing to make this a vitally important point all of a sudden.
This happens regularly where so called “priorities” flip entirely depending on if you are team green or team red.
Conversely, you will now notice that excessive power draw is/isn't important or worth mentioning depending upon your new “priority”.

Most people don't keep up with hardware news so likely unaware, but 4070/Super are also quite a bit cheaper by now so not the same buyers.
Easier for real prices to drift up without a real card as an anchor at MSRP for people to point to; also easier for the gap between 70 & 9070 XT to widen rather than the small one that's on paper, because the aibs will have free reign around which premium models to make more of. It's obvious MSRP won't be real for AMD any more than it was for Nvidia. When market conditions are such that there's low supply but huge demand the MSRP is really just for the brands to battle on marketing with it.I'm more than mildly miffed the MBA cards were either a render that either didn't physically exist, or was created in a small batch for internal purposes. Why show it in the slides then at the last minute say "oh btw, this card wont be on sale". Was an interesting looking design with the mesh. I'm guessing actually producing those in mass might well have taken them over the price point they wanted to hit.
And that didn’t take long
I said the vast majority will be fine and that it means using DSC in those rare fringe cases. This is no different to when 3000 and 4000 series didn’t support such monitors and need DSC.
Oh Noe’s… I was out by $400 on my lower end expensive monitor joke. You did realise it was meant as a joke right?
Yes it would be nice to have full 80Gbps, but I think it’s being overblown all things considered.

It would have been pretty nice for the MBA line if that was a thing this time round. I would have gone for this design even though I don't have a window panel.
Yes I agree it's overblown.And that didn’t take long

To be fair DSC can cause visual artifacts in rare fringe cases and my joke re expensive monitors is more to highlight that by the time it does matter for more than just a few people, GPUs will have moved on.
DSC is fine.
… until it causes a problem (such as monitor black screens). Then it’s extremely annoying.

You don't know that, maybe someone is playing a spooky game by candle light on their 4k 240hz monitor and there is a slight flicker in the corner of the screen caused by dsc artifacting and they get such a shock they knock over the candle onto a convenient pile of oil soaked rags!At least it won't start a fire
Would those oil soaked rags have "Supplied by nVidia" written on them?You don't know that, maybe someone is playing a spooky game by candle light on their 4k 240hz monitor and there is a slight flicker in the corner of the screen caused by dsc artifacting and they get such a shock they knock over the candle onto a convenient pile of oil soaked rags!
