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

[NZXT30]

And you think its odd that in a thread concerning rumours I bring up the leakers who are the source of the rumours (and somehow conflate that with being weirdly obsessed)? WOW, And you talk about missing the forest for the trees? Jesus... But feel free to believe whatever random fairytale best fits your little theories. Meanwhile I'll wait for info from the horses mouth, not the leakers ass.

You expect Lisa to come out and admit that they delayed their launch so they can undercut Nvidia by $25? That's really not how it works.

I'd like this too. Not sure I can wait that long unfortunately so I'll likely take the route 8800XT then UDNA 2 or 3, provided it's palatable.

Yeah I really have to pick up a card in the new year, I am excited to see what UDNA brings to the table in the future though.

That said, if 8800xt is a shade near rumors i.e. 4080 for £600, it might be worth our time.

£600? No thanks. 8800XT Needs to be £500 or less, considering that 7900XTs are currently just above £600.

If they want marketshare, they need affordably priced cards. Intel is playing it smart trying to make a dent in the budget tier..

RDNA 4 will no doubt be priced crap. I'll be looking to replace a 6600 XT.

But then we would neither have the fun of seeing psychopathically-delusional optimism and guessing, nor the launch-day disappoint that warms our old-timer hearts. Once and a while, I like to return to the 100-page Polaris post to relive the halcion days of misplaced enthusiasm -- that was comedy gold. People never learn.

Same thing year in year out on here and other tech sites, it almost seems like people don't recognise the leaks change their "info" dozens of times during the course of the products run up, then when it finally launches they point to the one thing they got vaguely right while sweeping the other 99% of the totally wrong info under the carpet. Then the fact they were 99% wrong gets forgotten for the next round of launches and people are taking them as legit again and the cycle repeats itself. It's like selective amnesia. The odd time they get some legit info but more often than not its an exercise in throwing **** at a wall and seeing what sticks.

Polaris was mental, the talk for that was all over the place.

Gee thanks for that, I've only been here for basically every gpu launch and the run up to those, but its good to know you somehow managed to take that out of context and put your own spin on it. I'm, obviously referring to the launch event when I talk about the horses mouth. But you keep on believing that its been delayed just because the leaks you obviously put so much faith in got it 100% wrong (who coulda seen that coming) and had to backpedal and claim it was delayed.

£450-£500 would be nice, but if its got much improved RT performance then maybe £550? Hopefully they don't **** the bed with pricing.

I must be the only one that thinks £500-£600 is reasonable for a mid range. You can, have Intel at £250 for lower end, and nvidia £1k and over for "higher" end. But I've already said my peace on the same old people complaining about AMD and pricing. Nvidia seem to get a clear pass, people jokingly and openly complain, but then still pay the stupid asking prices, yet for AMD, they always want more for less. And to those people I say...
