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

There is 2% in it....


in raster, and its loads faster in RT..

Why would you even entertain the 7900XT at £629 when you can get a 9070 (non xt) quite easily for £569 from here right now...?




In Raster the 9070 is pretty much a 7900Xt and the 9070 XT is pretty much a 7900xtx with less vram, but much better RT performance.
Somebody is trying to sell a one month old 7900xt on the MM for £610:cry:

Laughable
 
It’s about 5% superior in benchmarks at raster and 30-50% better at raytracing esp path.

It’s all there on the internet. :D
agree 5% better raster...not the rt 30-50%???

below at 1440p the ti is 14% faster at rt, and at 4k it's 17%..not to be sniffed at but not 30 to 50%...and HU had some weird figures..they had Indy Jones unplayable...I've just whacked it on..Had path tracing set to medium and graphics set to Supreme. Res 4k and no upscaling.. target locked at 60fps.. Full on path tracing taxes the 4090/5090 series cards, i doubt you'll be playing the 5070ti with everything set to max either...I know you'll get more on a 5070ti, but the 9070xt is infinitely playable...£100, I'd have a think about a 5070ti, but more than that, not sure...and as sasid before, that might be a top 9070xt vs a msrp 5070ti...get like for like, gap will be bigger


. fsr4 better than dlss3, so seeing as that was good enough, upscaling no longer a selling point now. they can both do it well. If the new consoles have fsr4 (most likely), you'll see a lot of game developers putting it in there games, esp if amd gain mkt share with current gpu's (not going to be too hard seeing as nvidia not giving a monkey's at mo about gamers)
current price rise isn't amd I think...this is stock already purchased by retail, so already paid for...so this is purely increasing there margin. Also means they can keep stock in while they wait for new shipments...when stock builds, prices will drop again...and aib getting in on act too.
they're basically using the airline method of selling now..price is fluid and moves on demand

Not implausible as even OCUK have increased their prices twice since they sold out.
The most funny thing is... I actually have ordered an internal USB extension :cry: :cry: :cry:
But idk if it needs a box that big...
You should've kept that to yourself, taken a photo of that USB extension in the big box, and won the internet :cry: :cry: :cry:
 
I don't understand..you were contemplating buying the 7900xt for £630...thats just 2% faster in raster than the 9070 with worse rt and no fsr4, andf 7090 is available now for £569, so £60 less.....20th april is just over a month away and you were worried you wouldn't be able to get anything for your son.....cutting it a bit fine there don't you think.....or are you trying and get a 9070xt for £630 then? don't think you'll be seeing £569 any time soon for an xt...not unless nvidia suddenly start shipping more
I don't understand..you were contemplating bu.ying the 7900xt for £630...thats just 2% faster in raster than the 9070 with worse rt and no fsr4, andf 7090 is available now for £569, so £60 less.....20th april is just over a month away and you were worried you wouldn't be able to get anything for your son.....cut
I just went over a lot of reviews and I noticed the 9070 is much closer on most reviews than I thought to the xt. Feeling much better going for a 9070 if I can't get the xt. I do wish they would let reviews out a week before release again I had my head so much in the xt because of only 50 usd difference in MSRP I had not really done my homework right on non xt options. Which I wish I had since I could have got 1 at 529 on launch day and now wish I had got it.

Just installed the 9070XT Steel Legend into my current build I'm putting together, really nice of them to have the physical RGB LED on/off switch accessible on the card. The default rainbow was a bit overwhelming.

totally agree...24hrs before launch is hard..night before sitting there trying to get as many reviews in as poss...almost having to buy on a leap of faith and hope it's as good as you think

Do not buy a 7900XT unless it's less than £550. The 9070XT is better in every way. FSR4 is a game changer and will give you a much better experience in the long run.
 
Thanks I will wait I have till Easter his birthday is Easter Sunday. I just have to hope something comes in.

Mate, my cents, just pull the trigger on the cheapest 9070 you can find and be done with it. Save yourself the wrinkles worrying about something your kid won't care about when he's playing Fortnite :D
