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

[Gerard]

It seems that AMD wanted the XT to sell for $999 and the non-XT to sell for $799, but nvidia's cheaper pricing on the 5070/ti messed everything up.

Yeah right, given the alleged performance and the naming convention to bring it inline with the NVidia naming scheme you'd have to be snorting some high grade white stuff to ever think it could sell for a grand or £800 for the second tier.

This thread has really went off the deep end.

It doesn't make sense as they pulled out of the top end which is your 80 and 90 tiers and called the card x70 to indicate which cards they are bringing this gen.

Because its complete BS.

Citation has never been more needed

Yeh made up numbers there.

The actual source for this never gave any numbers. It just said nvidia's pricing surprised AMD causing them to delay announcement.

The clickbait brigade have never had it so good, right now virtually anyone can say something they "heard" (made up) and it would be getting debated like it has somehow some random level of legitimacy to it.

I really hope they say something soon because all the gossip made up of guesswork and feelz is doing my head in.

I know, that's why I was keen to see some sort of source

It's worrying how many people were perfectly willing to believe it though!

The sooner the better.

Unfortunately there's no concrete source, it's all rumours and hearsay from multiple places across the net. We are in the rumor thread, and of course you are right to take anything and everything I say with a generous heaping of salt!

Apparently the rumors are now saying that retailers paid more for the 9070s than what AMD now wants them to sell for, hence the lack of communication to the public. AMD might have to pay the retailers some money back. It's a massive s***show.

Surely not. Lol.

A market gaining strategy indeed.

I've been told these will be the prices of all the current AMD cards when RDNA4 is released..

His name is Bob and works in a Haribo Warehouse

Careful there mate... one of these sites is going to use your post and claim it's official 'leaks'

Apparently the wholesale price of the cards have already been set and are overpriced. AMD weren't expecting $549 from nvidia for the 5070.

If AIBs have made the cards assuming say they are $599 and $699, then its gonna be hard to get it back down to $499 and $599 for launch.

I reckon AMD will sell the cards at $549 and $649.

AMD would be shooting themselves in the foot if such rumours hold any candles.
Then Nvidia's 5070/ti would end up wiping the floor with AMD at those prices and any plans to gain market share would go down the drain.
It's obvious from the sentiments in this thread and the suggestions that many posts have made, 9070XT shouldn't be much beyond $550 (and $400-450 for non-XT).
I mean would any of you pay £650+ for a 9070XT or £550+ for a non-XT?
...that's exactly the point.

If you are single get a 5090. Married with children get the 9070xt or 7900xtx

I didn't know the 5090 also had AI girlfriend generation in it's featureset

Was also going to say in this economy, with or without family, most folks can't even afford those suggestions.

There is a difference between what people are willing to pay, and what AMD (and their partners) can afford to sell them at though. They may not line up.

AMD stated they are going for mid tier and market share this generation none of that pricing makes any sense so pretty sure that's BS

We have Frank Azor on record, a few hours after they pulled the launch at CES saying it’s not a $300 card or a $1000 card. I guess $999 technically fits with that.

Asus also stated they won't be over $1000

Yeah, the deep end proper.

Last month this release was just mid range/budget and now it's been hyped to extra levels lol

Of course the prices I mentioned earlier are insane, but it's worth considering that the die for the 5070/XT (390mm) are even bigger than the 5080's (378mm), while being on the same process, and that can't be cheap.

 

[Bill Turnip]

The only two games coming out i have interest in and have preordered are FF7 Rebirth and KCD2. Let's see if I run out

I'm all ready for FF7 Rebirth too - If 12GB is restrictive, I'll be very sad at 10GB!

How much was the 529 mm 7900 gre again? Nvidia is ripping people off with 5070 spec at a grand.

Navi 31 actually only had a 304mm^2 GCD and up to 17% of the chip could be defective and still be usable in a 7900 GRE. The tiny 37mm^2 MCDs which probably had close to 100% yield was on a much cheaper process.

Whilst the poster is obviously wrong in the price, this post isn't really a rebuttal. The above doesn't compare to a fully enabled 390mm^2 die.
