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

I'll happily leave those for the overclocking bro's. I'll be happy with with a base Sapphire Pulse. Hell, if it goes anything like I'm pessimistically expecting, I might even consider a base 9070, though my wallet groans at the prospect of buying a gimped gpu for such a small price differential.

Lmao everyone here is an overclocker!

...but not a bro!

If it gets me an XT, I'll convert to an underclocker if necessary. Or possibly even an overlocker if it came to it.

Wish RT just died, it's too much of a FPS hog.

Not even just FPS, the RT cores and AI cores actually take up die area and therefore silicon too! That's less of the die used for traditional cores for normal performance, unless a bigger die size is used to make up for it. It partially contributes to why we've been getting less performance boost in recent years. The same size silicon has less dedicated resources for traditional rendering.

So reviews and for sale on the same day!! Oh FFS!!

I think it's already been said, but reviews Wednesday and release Thursday. I wish it was Wednesday though, cos I already have the day off... less chance of me getting home from work to find an MSRP model still in stock

Plus it's got a fuse.

At least that's better than Nvidia options, none of those have fuses.

Had some interesting info come my way today, that on a strip down of a normal RX 9070 (non-XT) that is it has 24Gbps Samsung memory IC's, not sure why that would be, but they aren't exactly expensive so could be interesting to see which cards have them on.

From what i can tell i suspect AMD have gone hard on price/performance aspect with these cards, from using the cheaper N4C process to choosing to use GDDR6 rather than the X variant and lower capacity than previously, it seems like they've tried to get the most performance they can for the least price.

Whether that's reflected in the prices we'll be paying (how close cards are to MSRP) is yet to be known.

Anyone know which 9070 xt models are possibly going to be at or close to msrp?

Refer to this:

9070 XT

docs.google.com

There are four 9070XT's models that will fit without issue.

TPU also maintains a list of cards with things like boost clocks and dimensions, not knocking that spreadsheet as it contains some info that's missing from the TPU list, just the TPU list seems to have more cards on it and it's always good to have multiple lists.
