[@GamerMeld]

He’s definitely marketing. Don’t get me wrong. But if he’s actually claiming that it’s faster than the rumors, that is a declarative statement. And marketing guys typically don’t make those unless they’re accurate. Still. I definitely agree.

[@Dragonlord826]

Generally their performance roughly meets the advertised performance and improves significantly with driver updates.

[@UnluckyDomino]

@@Dragonlord826 there aren't any advertised performance numbers right now. That's my point, AMD haven't shown any numbers themselves and people shouldn't build up high expectations from these leaks Also "significantly" is a strong word. There aren't massive performance increases, and the only cases where it happens are in games where the cards perform abnormally low indicating poor driver optimisation from launch for certain games or engines

[@SGxShadow]

With a 80-90% GPU market share going to Nvidia... AMD isn't in the position to be shy about their specs. They need to be screaming that at everyone... right now! They need to be in reviewers hands right now!

I think they are waiting to see how the 50 series performs and price accordingly. Don't get me wrong, I completely get your point and agree to an extent.

[@Tunnelfish2]

I have a 7900 XT and I see nothing in this new generation but smoke and mirrors from either AMD or Nvidia that would make for a decent, useful upgrade for the $700 I paid for my card in 2023. Software tricks don't cut the mustard and frankly, I'm not seeing great gameplay to go with the bloated raytracing graphics and UE5 engine slop that passes off for AAA titles these days. I want a game that is engaging over glitzy any day, pretty doesn't mean fun and the greed behind both the hardware and software is really beginning to alienate me from modern PC gaming. I've been starting to trend retro because there are so may good older games that don't need this gimmicky crap from times when it was about the fun, not the flexing. Yes, it's nice to have a game that looks nice, but it seems that cosmetics are the chief concern which is a shallow and unsatisfying replacement for genuine fun. Count me out on buying anything new for this generation while I crawl back under my rock for couple of years.

[@vizknight1862]

I feel ya, I have the fastest version of the 7900 XTX right now. See this 9070 xt between 4070ti, 7900 XT and 4080. Makes me feel better about having my XTX. Doesn't look like AMD will offer anything faster than the XTX.

[@4evahodlingdoge226]

[@TheRealName7]

People who will buy the 5070 over the 4070 super are dumb as a bag of bricks, why would anyone buy a more expensive downgrade lmao. Yes the 4070 super has more cuda cores than the 5070, cuda cores are responsible for the raw raster performance of the card.

[@echoesofmalachor3700]

If AMD wants to shake up that ~90% market share over at NVIDIA they’re going to have to price the XT below $500. $500-600 might get a lot of people that tuned into tech channels to jump ship but that’s just a tiny portion of the end users. The rest of the market will just continue to shell out and extra $100 or so to buy an NVIDIA card. If the card ends up being a 4080/super competitor even at $600 is a no brainer for me but I don’t think the market share as whole changes without AMD landing at a seemingly unrealistically low msrp.

[@dgillies5420]

Right. Because 4080 GPUs at $600 are a dime a dozen. Dime a dozen!

[@echoesofmalachor3700]

@ I think you struggled with reading comprehension there. My comment was regarding a change in market share, not performance vs price tag. But did you at least feel good about yourself?

[@Rehsalus]

Yes bc the companys where buy the most cards are interested in 500-600$ Budget GPUs. You know that not only gamer buy GPUs? We are just a small piece from that cake

[@OGParzoval]

[@beastkut]

in terms of RT then yes, but raw power then no, atleast for amd, but for intel then it is a big step for them... however the price will ultimately determined what we will think of those cards.

Buddy did you watch the video? It’s the same performance as a 4080 that dropped at $1200. You can’t possibly be complaining about $600.

[@tanevzzo404]

Everyone needs to set their expectations right, how do you expect the 9070 XT which is probably competing with the $749 5070 ti supposed to be priced at $449? Im gonna guess $499 is the lowest they would go and probably max out at $599 anyway leaks have suggested $549 from AIBs, which mightve accounted for tax already so maybe we're looking at $499 for the reference version from AMD

[@ezquielzurita7587]

Lógicamente no saldrá $499, yo creo que va a tener un precio de lanzamiento de $550 o casi $600, pero de todas maneras es un precio muy atractivo por el rendimiento que pareciera que va a tener

[@DigitalEntity]

Price/Perfomance has to be very attractive to lure byuers. When you think about gaming gpu, the defacto is Nvidia. So the AMD gpu price should be according to that, otherwise no one will buy it. My estimate for price/perfomance for the rx 9070 xt should be 449 msrp, rtx 5070 has 549 msrp.

[@tomthomas3499]

As if people don't know how fast 7900xtx/4080s, ain't no way we are getting 7900xtx/4080s performance below $500 price point, it would be scalpers wet dream if that happen lol.

[@tanevzzo404]

@ exactly, the more the price deviates from the actual value of the card the higher the chance that it would be more expensive for the average consumer, more expensive than its value and its not a good buy, too cheap scalpers will get them all and sell them higher, we cant just ask for amazingly low prices without considering all the other factors. Look at the b580 release, its so difficult to get it at msrp because of scalpers and its cheap pricing, we just need the 9070 and xt to be a reasonable price

[@malmstring]

These are exactly the questions I have also. Price expectations are mad. More than 4070ti performance for $449...come on.

[@senseofpermanence]

Somewhere between a 4070ti Super and a 4080 Super for $550? That's not bad at all I think. 9080 XT maybe tickling 4090 performance then around the 700$ mark?

They won't release high end GPUs this gen... But the thing is Nvidia has pushed GPU pricing up so much that even midrange GPUs like the 5070ti are gonna be USD 750. This is more expensive than high end GPUs used to be such as the rx 6800xt and rtx 3080. So AMD has loads of space to play without even making a high end die.

They guy is also a bit optimistic about everything so I'd bet that if what he's saying is true it should be around 40%. He said this about 6 months ago (?) but I thought it was BS because I heard about it not being that powerful before

[@elbow005]

AMD GPUs are a natural progression to 7900 XT which was their main flagship id say. They've continually improved over it using both hardware and software updates so 9070 XT is no surprise standing where it is today. It's the similar story with 5080 except they've dropped hardware level only to save more money and drop the prices lower compensating us with a silly AI gimmick.

I've seen these same leaked benchmark 4 times now, each time (well except for the first time) thinking they are new.

[@Dojinshiii]

In my opinion, for AMD to make any meaningful impact right now with RTX 5000 on the way coupled with Nvidia's continued software improvements with AI and productivity implementations, they need to hit the sub $500 market insanely hard. And with this being the last RDNA set before moving to UDNA, they need marketshare, badly.

wukon is a heavily nvidia friendly game, even the XTX gets beat by the 4080 super by 12% in that game, and usually on average the XTX is 7% ahead of the 80s. if you compare the 9070XT result with Techspot( HUB ) results, the 9070XT is only 6.5% behind the XTX. that would mean in most game its should be VERY close ,if not better than the 4080super in raster on average. Further driver improvements could also bump up the performance even more so im pretty excited for this if its priced below $500

I still don't get what the big deal is about this card. Until the price comes out you can't determine if its going to a value or not. Its pretty sad that AMD is now a generation and half behind Nvidia, when they use to be only about half a generation.

If it's a 4070 ti s with the speculated price around 500 LEL they will sell in one day, 1 hour.

The implications of what could happen in March are incredibly exciting. Especially if Nvidia has already started charging for the API you need for your DLSS4 and your neural AI features. That's gonna be great seeing the freakout over that. If there's anyone that remembers the hot water Adobe just found themselves in you probably oughta read the Nvidia ToU while you're over there looking at why even after you buy your RTX card the MSRP is just a down payment, you'll be paying for it the rest of the time you own it too. A lot of people are gonna be looking at Linux a lot differently come March.

Get well bud. Personally I'm hoping to replace my 4070ti with one of these new amd cards if reasonable. I've had enough of Nvidias insane prices. 4090s are averaging 2500 to 3k here in Canada. 🤯

[@lowpoul5552]

3000$ for a 4090 that's insane but having a RTX Trudeau for 10 yrs is a nightmare. Leave this land !!

[@Giliver]

You don't even need to upgrade though? Lol are you just doing it "to make a point"? If so that's beyond stupid reasoning.

[@UnluckyDomino]

Why would you do that? It's basically a side grade except you sign up for slow driver releases, fewer games with the good version of upscaling, nvenc, higher power draw, worse resale value, more inconsistent frametimes (watch Digital Foundry's video, AMD are worse than Nvidia when it comes to stutters)

[@weaver909]

This makes no sense! You have a very capable GPU and you’re deciding to spend money on a new GPU because you don’t like what Nividia is charging other people? Obviously money isn’t an issue for you than! 😂

[@miguelfloriano9039]

I wouldn't upgrade. Not this season. both NVIDIA and AMD cards look eh..

I have a 4090 and play with V-sync enabled, so I get 50fps, and I'm fine with that as long as it keeps my GPU cool, which it does.

[@ceegii63]

what if they had a 9080 that in the "One more thing" portion of the 9000 official announcement

I had a stomach bug last time I was in Vegas. The food that caused it was agave. (That’s what the tequila was made from!)
