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

The only friends I know still running 10 series Nvidia cards have all had to replace thermal pads - which is fair enough considering that generation is coming up on 10 years next year...

My AIB 1080 is happily living in my second rig, had to replace one of the fans that started going funky but that's it.

10 years eh? Surprising how capable it still is.

Unless you have statistics we don't know to me reference cards from both seemed similar going back, I had reference AMD I think it was 280x blower and looking back that didn't look like it was built to last

The new purported 9070 XT mba with the Radeon lit logo looks great and solid like the plain 7000 series mba designs. They look like they would last 10 years (maybe not the LED logo though!).

I've only ever had Sapphire and maybe one Powercolor AMD card in the past before they got sold on (oh and I have one MSI RX570 that's still an emergency backup).

Sapphire would always be my first choice,always seemed pretty solid builds.

Still surprised they never had the Radeon name lit up on 7000 series let's hope they do this time other than that design was great
 
Not a fan of the cards that you need software to change or turn off lights though.

My Powercolor 7800XT Hellhound while a fairly boring and 'cheap' looking card (hey, my opinion) it has a physical switch to turn them off, a big fan of that.

The software is usually your motherboard software eg armory crate/iCue to switch off the Radeon lighting in the 6000 series. Once it’s off it’s off.

IMO the 9070xt leaked photos with the Radeon lighting is amazing aesthetic better than AIB designs by a long way.

I really like my ASRock card, it is solid. When it first arrived I weighed it. Came in at 1.85kg. :cool: Wonder if they will also do a 9070XT?
 
I hope AMD do another 5700Xt launch - I would also be laughing (baring in mind they fudged the price on the 5700/Xt and caught Nvidia off guard) if they had a enthusiast card ready to launch all along offering 4090 performance for less than a grand :D - joking aside I do hope AMD can compete at the upper mid range looking forward to the stream

One can only dream eh.
But it wouldn't make sense for AMD to lie to investors about dropping out of high end.
Plus the various leaks and rumours suggest performance in the range of 7900GRE - 4080.

What it will probably be is 7900GRE levels of performance for £650 and six months later drop down to £450 because it got awful reviews and no one is buying it.

If this happens I'll be looking at a 5070 or a 5060Ti (16GB) if thats actually gona be a thing.

I only play DayZ these days, at 1080p too. I dont need a beast of a card, just more than 8GB VRAM thats on my 3060Ti :( lol
