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

I don’t think the 50 series is selling well, it just appears that way due to no stock.

In fairness the 4090 wasnt much better, the 4080 was a shelf tester due to the price it launched at and the unlaunched 12GB was delayed while they pretended it never happened.
 
Wonder why Gibbo hasn't come out to report stock levels? We know places have the cards, we know their official spec now, surely listing the make / model and rough quanity is allowed? We don't even have any placeholders on the website either yet. Must be because it still hasn't "officially" been announced. Just wondering.
 
A better deal doesn’t win market share unfortunately. At this point it needs to be an amazing deal.

Let’s face it who all would be super hyped with £650 - 800 for a 9070XT.

I'm not talking about market share I'm talking about what choices do I have if I want a GPU or don't buy one at all ? AMD still looking like offering the better deal for me it's certain my next card will be AMD, but you still getting bots buying Nvidia

Yes I would like it to be £550-£600, but I'd still buy it over £800+ 5070ti

AMD has always had huge issues with shipping enough volume, still true even today for CPUs and you can make way more of those more easily & they have better profit margins. That's why I don't think they ever planned to price GPUs more aggressively - they can ship too few, so what's the point. Not sure why they can't do better but that's the case.

X3D has a longer manufacturing lead time due to the stacking process. As we look into 2025, we are adding significant manufacturing capacity.

I'm not talking about X3D but across the board. Especially sad to see for laptop chips which have a waaay higher strategic importance. It's been an issue for years.

Anything I say goes viral, these forums are monitored by both press and manufacturers.

All I will say is come 9070 series launch, we will have ample stock and if the MSRP is viable for volume sales, we will hit it. :)

o'rly ? :D

 
Yeah, going for marketshare my ass.

AMD: "You can marketshare deez nutz..."
 
o'rly ? :D


Well I ain't buying either when my limit is £600, but I'm confident when I do it's likely to be AMD than Nvidia

Sounds great! I wasn't having a dig btw, I was just pondering.
 
Not everyone is working. I know a few people in UK that are on benefits and really can't add even just 50 to the price, unless they skip food or rent.
Not only that, lots of companies are closing shop and tons of folks are losing their jobs, being made redundant.
Happened to me last year and some of my old colleagues still haven't found jobs, the job market is down the toilet too.

AMD official Spec sheet:

HDMI 2.1b
DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR13.5
RIP AMD if true. They need to have the same UHBR20 as Nvidia, or look inferior even more. Now there's just more excuses for folks to say AMD is isn't as good as Nvidia, just buy Nvidia instead. Hopefully they do have it for the right monitor support, else this will be AMD's next fumble of this GPU launch.

Also wanted to post a meme from another post, but not sure if my browser is dying, images don't post.

I find these price "leaks" quite difficult to believe because:

1. Based on benchmark leaks, the price difference between the 9070 and 9070 XT can't be much more than $100 without the XT looking like poor value.

2. While the 9070 is likely to outperform the 5070, the performance gap won't be vast, so that card surely has to be priced close to the 5070?

I may be wrong. But anything more than $699 for the 9070 XT doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I bet we wind up at $499 and $599 by the end of the year whatever happens :cry:

Please tell me you have nitro cards ? For some reason you didn't stock them for GRE and I had to go elsewhere.

The more expensive card being worse value? I'm not sure why that is a problem, it's normally the case with PC hardware. The cheaper stuff is usually better bang for buck.
Normally folks pay a premium for the better performance.

However I'm worried of the opposite here, if the 9070 non-XT looks poor value being priced so close. There should be at least £150 price gap between the two at higher prices (above £500). Last generation with the RX 7000 series and RTX4000 series, the whole thing was turned on its head as the best value GPUs ended up being the most expensive ones. Making it a worse buy to go for the cheaper option. Hence why the 7900XT was terrible at launch being priced too close to the 7900XTX.
