A note about RT, "+50%" puts it right about here, 46 FPS, Cyberpunk is one of the worst for AMD.

Competitor rules
Please remember that any mention of competitors, hinting at competitors or offering to provide details of competitors will result in an account suspension. The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK.
Depending on price that might actually be worth upgrading from an RX 7800 XT.

Yep I have the 6900XT which I use at 1440p so the numbers are looking positive. I'll still hold off for the reviews and some proper figures. Not long to go.
AMD claimed close to 4080 in RT and raster. Knock the usual 10% - 15% off and you have a GPU only slightly faster than where these leaks have it. I expect with more tuning and release drivers it might the be about 10% faster than those leaks at worst. That would be about 15% faster in raster than a GRE and a fair bit better in RT.
At £450 it will be a great GPU and could disrupt Nvidia mid tier pricing.

Is there any reason to think the 5070 might be much faster than the 4070 Ti in Cyberpunk RT? the 4070 needs to gain 40% in RT to beat the 4070 Ti by 10%. Given its probably going to be £600 or more i can't see anyone making the RT argument for Nvidia if the RX 9070 is £450 or less, not with a straight face, tho some may try.

All depends on price and how much you'll be able to sell your current card in Jan/Feb, but a reasonable upgrade path for those on a 7800xt or 4070 -- my guess is this is the market AMD is targeting most. ~20% raster improvenenr, much better RT.

I think every release we always say "if priced right".
This is key.
This is key.
7800 XT has plenty of raster, i don't feel any need for more of that, it is as you say all about RT, yeah if AMD can make it a relatively cheap upgrade its a winner, i'm looking at the quick turnaround pawn broker chain to see how much cash they will give me for mine and right now if the 9070 XT is £450 or less its worth it.
And every release AMD over prices its GPUs at launch. Will this time be any different?
Clock speeds.

Clock speeds. They are definitely not clocked the same.

Tbf, the GRE was priced reasonably well
I remember thinking the same with the 7900 XT. I was hoping for £700 at most. AMD got greedy… or stupid.
6900 XT 2293 Mhz average in game.
7800 XT 2425 Mhz average in game. +1.3%
AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Review - The Biggest Big Navi
AMD's Radeon RX 6900 XT offers convincing 4K gaming performance, yet stays below 300 W. Thanks to this impressive efficiency, the card is almost whisper-quiet, quieter than any RTX 3090 we've ever tested. In our review, we not only benchmark the RX 6900 XT on Intel, but also on Zen 3, with fast...
AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Review
With the Radeon RX 7800 XT, AMD is going after the GeForce RTX 4070. Our review confirms that AMD has achieved performance parity in rasterization and is pretty close in ray tracing, at a much better price point, and they are giving you 16 GB VRAM, instead of just 12 GB.

After a price drop. I remember when it launched in China, no-one here wanted it.
Both, the 7800 XT was priced well, so was the 7900 GRE on launch.

C’mon AMD….my vega64 needs to retire (been saying that for a while now 
)
)Yeah I remember initial responses were a bit meh, but that changed quite quickly.
