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

[Brutal biff]

These worth upgrading from a 7800xt or not that's the question

The Sapphire 9070 XT Nitro is in transit to ourselves and due to arrive this Friday, over 500 units.

Can we still place order tomorrow for the Nitro or have to wait till Friday?

Thanks.

All of them seem to be around that even the premium Aib cards, all within spec but wonder how much headroom before throttling occurs

TPU reviewed the Nitro and managed a 9% OC over stock. Presume the other premium models also do the same. Doesn’t seem worth it for at the very minimum (£100 more than msrp or 17% extra) 9% more performance.

where are the cards from msi and gigabyte ?

MSI do not do AMD any more.

We have Gigabyte in stock, 2pm tomorrow.

We shall be taking pre-orders as we have 500 due Friday and a further 500 more due in 1-2 weeks.

As with all AMD cards, best results are yielded by under volting the card.

Oh okay I was on about the memory temps , nitro just seems it's tarted up fancy on the outside

Much better launch than the Nvidia farce!

Looks like the Linux drivers kind of suck. And the power draw seems iffy. Gonna have to pass for now as I can't be arsed to be a beta tester. Shame.

Rofl.. there is a retailer in my area that already has listed the 9070 XT for purchase. Price is horrible though. About 200 USD above MSRP . Silly people.

For the first time in a long time this actually looks like a proper product launch. Hope it all goes well OcUK.

People are making a big deal out of these memory temps, but IIRC the memory is rated to 110 degrees, my 3080s ran hotter than that on the memory if I gave them welly!

 

[GuruJockStrap]

Have any reviewers attempted undervolting the cards?

I have 3080 and memory throttles down when it reached 110c , I could get close to that during summer, replaced thermal pads now it struggles to get past mid 80s

I don’t know what to go for, the Nitro + or the XFX magnetic air edition

What is "PTM 7950" from the google docs?

I’m going to stick my neck out and say the performance to me seems a bit all over the place. I think the usual AMD driver maturity will improve over time.

 

[Fractured]

Nitro high temps, if its like the XTX, probably because the fans don't ramp much beyond 1000rpm. Cant see the bios settings yet to see the temp targets.
From HUB steve review looked like they have 85 90 or 95 target temp.

not exactly a high bar though

Some sort of new fangly phase transfer thermal pad. Probably a good excuse to add some more onto the cost
