I know I said last night that if I were to pick one, it would be the Red devil. However, It all depends on cost. Ideally I would like a higher wattage version but not at a huge extra expense. Depending on price, It would potentially be a Sapphire pulse. I had a Vega 56 Pulse and it was great.

*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***
- Thread starter humbug
- Start date
No mean that with the 9070 being $550 and the 9070XT being $500 with a 20% performance gap, why would anyone pay more than $650 for a higher end OC variant of the 9070XT which will likely only perform about 10% over a stock model.
Crossfire, and sli for that matter, never really performed like it was meant to. Great numbers in synthetics, but even in the most optimised games it would introduce stutter and give marginal over all performance uplift, maybe 30 - 50 %
That said if they had kept working on it maybe it would have gotten better, but if anything increased overall bandwidth usage may have made it harder to implement.
Would be funny though to just strap a couple 9070xts together and stomp a 5090. Also you know there would be some nutcase running 4 5090s in sli just to get an extra 50fps in black myth wukong

1-4% on a 5090 between pcie 3 and pcie 5 so I wouldn't worry too much

Exactly. We see this fretting every time a new PCI-E standard is introduced and it takes a generation or two for it to even become a consideration. A 9070xt won't come near saturating PCI-E 3.0, much less 4.0.
And SLI 5090s would be banned under the nuclear proliferation treaty
Hah. It did immediately occur to me, was this 2012, I would be lining up for two (or three!) 9070xts and doing mobo measurements.

But given the size of the coolers on cards nowadays you'd never manage 2 let alone 3 cards air cooled. So then you'd have added costs. Still...
I did wonder if some of the AMD board partners ever wished they were Nvidia partners as they'd probably get more sales or are the margins much better with AMD which makes up for it?
Very schnazzy XFX Quick Silver model, unfortunately only available in Chinese market. That shroud looks total class...

Why do all Nvidia AIB cards look like **** in comparison?
my council will be keeping the pristine lawns and gardens at the head office while letting everything else "Rewild " for a few months if you want to do something properly plant wild flowers ect not just overgrown grass and dandylions
how long is a bit of string my current cpu matched to the 9070xt is pefectly fine with a 650w psu
it all depends on what else you are adding to the system and do you expect to change anything once its built or do what 95% of people do and just update the whole system in 4-5 years time
the large majority of the player base dont give two hoots about RT people just want to be hitting the highest frames possible on games like CoD the same goes for 4k gaming most people dont care about it 1440p is only just starting to gain ground over 1080p for the massesI agree the RT has been held back by consoles, but I don’t think it was lower RT performance that reduced AMD dGPU market share, it was **** poor launches and pricing. If a 7900 XTX was £800 and the 7900 XT was £650 or even £700 on release it would have sold a lot better. If the 7800 XT was not 7 months late to the party etc.
It was AMD marketing and pricing that caused the problems. If you believe it was lack of RT features that killed AMD market share that’s fair enough, I’m not saying it had zero impact. But the ever decreasing market share has been a problem since before the 2000 series and RT was even a thing.
AMD market share in 2010 was about 40%. In 2017 it was about 25%. A drop of about 2% per year on average and all before RT was ever even on the gamer GPU horizon. Do the maths based on that predicted trend and they were set to be around 10% right around… 2024.
Ain’t statistical analysis fun
Exactly. AMD just need to price their GPUs right. If they are too close to Nvidia the consumers just goes Nvidia out of habit. Give the consumer something to think about on price.

I suspect the msrp or close to are going to be the sapphire pulse, the gigabyte gaming oc, the asus prime and the Powercolour reaper
Powercolor reaper comes to mind.
