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

[rare]

The design on the MBA cards looks really nice!

I will probably get one, they look good to me. I really liked my 6800-6900-6950 MBA cards.

The nitro looks…too much. I’m disappointed given how nice their current nitro cards are.

Was hoping AMD would release more information than this today.

They've gone complete overkill on the cooling for a GRE-level card, in order to make them seem 'faster' imo.

Could be done so the cards can maintain max boost clocks and stay cool

We have the infamous AMD 'slides' later possibly, whatever their numbers are knock at least 20% off

 

[RavenXXX2]

lol so no performance or price today, won't be because AMD are waiting for Nvidia to reveal pricing so they can slot in just below, of course not.

 

[wookiee87]

Shame it's only going to be around GRE-level of perf.

Still good performance and with fsr4 and such on top it could be a good combo, time is what's needed to fix bugs or performance issues though

AMD previews Radeon RX 9070 XT and 9070 Series, RDNA4 launches Q1 2025 - VideoCardz.com

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and non-XT Series announced Today is only the announcement, no specs, performance, pricing, or release date. First, AMD did, in fact, leak its Radeon RX 9070 reference design. The card shown in the marketing materials is the new 9070 XT version, but there’s also a non-XT...

AMD FSR4 only on Radeon RX 9070 series? AMD confirms Machine Learning-based FSR update. The FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) is officially here, or at least, the slides suggest it is ready. The FSR 4 technology is a machine-learning-powered upscaling solution developed for AMD’s RDNA4...

Ooh there is an asrock card. Tidy!

 

[wookiee87]

Took AMD driver guy approx 14/15 months to 'fix' the RDNA3 performance, so at least you know their is more in the bag down the line.

Very true hopefully fsr4 isn't too different from fsr3, they have a good stepping stone to work from, in turn fsr4 could be less buggy from the outset

I hope they might enable it on rx7000 cards as well otherwise they’re just doing an Nvidia….

Yup, I can understand AMD choosing to avoid the absolute top-end this time around but it is a shame. Especially if FSR4 and the improvements coming from that are limited to the 9000 series.

The only benefit for me is that it saves me cash from buying a new GPU and instead means I funnel that into a potential CPU upgrade later this year!

That's the corporate model of all businesses, make money, unless there is a huge up roar from gamers it's not gonna happen, a pain for sure because rdna3 has plenty of life left

You can be sure team green will lock dlss4 to 50 series too

9070XT mba looks the goat.

9070 MBA, not XT is more interesting I'd say, so performance will be lower but it looks SFF friendly. Although to be fair the XT MBA does still look smaller than all of the other cards.
Assuming the XT is 7900XT levels that means the 9070 non-XT is...a 7800XT maybe?

Install the sucker, replace side panel and never look at it again until you upgrade.

Quite sure these leaked slides would have been from the pre-announcement briefing for reviewers and journalists so they have an idea of what to expect and to get a hands on with the cards themselves. The actual announcement with the full details will come at the keynote.

 

[PeegeeTips]

fingers crossed at least one of the 9070XT cards (MBA?) is less than 290mm long...

 

[GuruJockStrap]

I need it less than 315mm in length and as close to £500 as possible. I can dream on the latter.....

 

[uscool]

Here's hoping they just withholding the main information for the keynote and not leaking it out early

 

[Chrisc]

if i can get a 40% uplift over my 6800 for £500, ill bite.

im not confident though.

Availability: Q1 2025.

So yet another delay - they are waiting for Nvidia to set the pricing.

I would guess so as the 9070XT would replace the GRE and 7900XT and the 9070 the 7800XT

 

[JediFragger]

that means the 9070 non-XT is...a 7800XT maybe?

I'm expecting that from it.
