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

All cards overclock.
Point is buying something for £300 less and getting performance close to a stock card (more expensive card) is a great feeling.

Weren’t everyone raving about how the GRE is almost a 7900xt when overclocked. Why the hate for the lower tiered card.

7800 XT at 2.93 Ghz.

+7% CU's puts it dead even (+1%) with the RX 7900 XT, or 88.5% of the 4080, an extra 200Mhz may take it to 90% a 4080, IMO we shouldn't expect it to be more than that, it depends on price, but then again the 4070 Ti is only 18% faster than the 'reference' 7800 XT is out of the box and it is near half the price, no one cares......

What has this got to do with RDNA4?

Frankly I'm getting bored reading this in every GPU thread

I think we are trying to show that overclocking will be possible with the 9070xt and achieving close to a 4080 in raster will be possible. And it will be a good deal if it’s £400

Trouble is we don’t know a lot about RDNA4 so we have to draw on the past gen to come to hypotheses about performance etc.

True, but i think a hypotheses is valid if we assume there is no IPC difference between the RDNA 3 and 4 core, IE just upscaling RDNA 3 to RX 9070 XT specifications, you can only really go wrong in one direction, under estimation and i think that's fair game.
 
I've sort of lost track (cuz there was a mention of a sort of RDNA 3.5 somewhere), is the 9070 what we're expecting AMD to release once they know the RTX 5000 series pricing, instead of the RX 8000 series cards? Or is the 9070 what we're expecting AMD to release once they know the pricing of the RTX 6000 series cards?

RDNA4 is RDNA3.5 as I understand it because after the 9070(formerly 8000 series) AMD will have UDNA GPUs.

I think that's right?

Lol.

Don't know as we don't know whose going to release their cards first, whose before who at CES? If they both announce pricing at CES the if Nvidia get thier day before AMD then AMD will know Nvidia's price and vice versa.

RX 8000 series are APU. hence the 9000 naming for the dGPU's.

Right :)
 
Near 4080 performance for £500 with much closer RT performance and an improved hardware based FSR4 would be fantastic value.

I just don't see that coming from either company, would predict £600 for the 9070 if that's the case, and £700ish for an equivalent Nvidia card, the latter based on the fact the 4070 was around the 3080 for not a great deal less.

I hope I'm wrong! As I've said before I'd like to double my 6800 XT's performance but if that costs more than I'd care to pay (£1k+) then something like a 4080 for £500 would be right up my street.
 
Honestly 5% off a 4080 for £600 looks pretty good to me. I could be pursuaded to upgrade if it really does hit those figures. I was just expecting gre figures.
Yeah same to be honest! GRE performance would be disappointing and stretching the definition of mid range for 2025 IMO.
