Considering that my 7900 XT hits 3 GHz, I would not be surprised if the new GPUs are faster. They should be!

Usually highest tier GPUs run a little slower clocks (because they have the most working CUs etc. do generate more heat). And even 4090 can go over 3GHz. I have no idea how 3GHz is for him a huge deal. Especially when rDNA3 was planned to run stock over 3GHz and it is nerfed because they f*cked design in some way.

[@lanceislateagain]

With the recent rumors pointing to the 5070 essentially being a 4070 Ti Super with 12GB of VRAM, combined with the usual Ngreedia pricing, AMD has a real chance here, assuming RDNA4 gets there on features such as ray tracing (which I probably won't use but would be nice to have) and AI upscaling (which I will use on games that I can't run natively), and assuming AMD prices these well. At $500, I'd take it over a 4070 Ti Super cause those things are still expensive, and a 5070 Ti isn't going to be in the same price range.

[@PCgamingbenchmarktime]

agreed, $499 IF it is that close to the 4080 would be tempting, if its anything over that though.....everyone will just go with the nvidia card lets be honest. Amd are always spinning their wheels with their poor pricing, i really hope they get it right though but a lot of people seem to think $600 would be fine to that performance.....AMd might actually try and charge more which would be a massive failure imo. they also have the second hand market to contend with, we dont know how FSR 4 will come fare compared to DLSS ( which will have even more improvements no doubt ) it will definitely be behind in RT, which i dont care about if its priced properly. Be interesting to see if Amd is stupid enough to stuff up another generation lol. i also doubt those performance claims will be realistic, i think it will be closer to the 4070ti super, in that case it would need to be priced even lower imo

[@zeusman5195]

HAHAHAHAHA 5070 BEING 4070TI THAT'S A GOOD ONE. I can't wait to come back to this comment to clown this. How in the living fuck do you think it would have such a small performance jump? Has that EVER happened before? That's a rhetorical question please don't answer you bot.

[@peanut93able]

so ppl say its on 7900 gre level others say its more like rtx 4080 / between 7900 xt and xtx. i guess we just need to wait for reviews

[@CHT1992]

It's not going to be between 7900XT and XTX. It will compare to the 7900 GRE but it might trade blows with the 7900 XT in some cases as it will have newer technology. Why do i say this? Because they still have to sell the 7900XT and XTX models somehow, dropping them in value but not outright destroying them with the new product. If the 9070XT was 5% slower than the 4080, then it would mean the 7900XT card is f'ed, along with the GRE and 7800XT, all of these 3 cards would be massively impacted by the 9070XT. Ray tracing performance will be much better with the 9070 and XT cards. They wanted to make the 9070 and XT cards like 450 to 650 or something, this would explain them adjusting values on the 7900XT and XTX to be somewhere close to these values aswell. Example: -7800XT = drops down to 400-450 USD, currently around 475-550 -9070 (~7800XT performance) = 450-500 USD, i feel like this one will be 50 USD more expensive than the 7800XT, offering similar performance but much better tech, i do hope they stick with 16gb VRAM on this one, otherwise its gonna be bad if it ends up with 12gb but it could also be a way of them pushing people to buy the XT variant instead, this would be a d*ck move from AMD for sure -7900 GRE = drops down to 50 bucks cheaper than 9070 xt, 550-700 currently -9070XT (slightly better than 7090 GRE, 10 to 15% faster than the 9070) = 500-600 USD, this one is most likely going to cost 100 USD more than the non XT variant -7900XT (~5-10% better than 9070XT in raster) = 550-650 USD, this one is currently sitting at around 650-750 USD. I can see its value being very close to 9070XT -7900XTX (~25-30% better than the 9070XT in raster) = ~700 USD, this one is currently sitting at 850+ USD So for this to make any sense, they need to make the 9070 XT priced similarly to the 7090 GRE, which came at the 550 USD MSRP. If they want to make a good impression on the market like intel did, then they would drop the value down a bit. But i don't see that happening unless nvidia pushes them to a corner with the 5070. This would also explain why the "8800XT" was canned and why AMD skipped high end GPUs this generation. The 8800XT or 9080XT, if it existed, it would make pricing on the 7900XT and XTX cards a big problem for nvidia as the new card would most likely trade blows with the XTX but at slightly over than half the price, which is insane.

[@peanut93able]

[@CM0G]

@@CHT1992 what is this mini market logic.. You think if they could sell 1.000.000 n48 cards to grow their market share they would rather not do it cause that would hurt their sales on 5.000 n31. If this card is not as fast as 4080 is cause they cant make it, not cause they want to sell 80cu n31s (7900gre) for 450$ 😆 If rdn4 scales like the past monolithic dies of rdna2 and 3 the performance will be 20% faster than 7800xt, just shy of 7900xt. Now someone would think they maybe do something better this time, but lets see. It would require at least something faster than 20gbps memory though 😒 This cards price will be decided only based on its performance compared to 4070ti/5070 and every bit of performance is crucial at that level, cause changes the level of perception to the product: -If it is 20% faster than 5070 which this leak is assuming (within 5% of 4080), than the price could be 600$ and will sell a lot cause it would be marketed as "superior to 5070 in every way" or closer to 5070ti for the same price as 5070. -If it is what I expect ~5% faster than 5070 and 5% slower than 7900xt it won't even sell well @500$, cause even if it is like +10% of the 5070 it would be still marketed as "similar" and all will neglect the 12gb vram and spend 100$ more to get the "similar" nvidia, like they always do. -If the perf is similar to GRE (which tbh I can't even imagine how they could achieve to make it that bad), this card will need to be 400$ at most.

Just look at the specs same GDDR6 memory. rx 7800XT has 60 CU's/ 9070 XT 64 CU's do you guys really believe architecture alone would carry +45% performance gain?

[@Angel_Zodiac]

Potentially yes, but we have no idea. If it's clocked 10% higher with 6.66% more CUs they'd need a 23.65% IPC improvement to reach +45% performance. In the leaked benchmarks that we saw, the 9070 XT was only 14% faster than the 7800 XT - that actually makes less sense than it being close-ish to 4080 performance considering it has 6.66% more CUs. Do we really think that in terms of boost clock and architectural IPC improvements combined that AMD only obtained +7% performance?

[@GreyDeathVaccine]

RDNA3 would have to have a terrible bottleneck to give such spectacular results after unblocking it. Smells fishy.

@@Angel_Zodiac dude, that sounds extremely unrealistic lol no on is saying it will only be a 7% increase either, but defintely not a 40% and over uplift. the leaked benchmarks are much more in line with reality. id be surprised if this will match the 4070ti super. it should be very close to the 5070 in raster, so if they charge anything over $500 its DOA

@@avatarion Well yes, if 9070XT (or whatever it ends up beenig called) was a 7900xtx class product. But it isnt. Its like 7800xt class product. And remember, we had this before. R9 Fury X was faster than RX480 (even buffed 290X called 390X was faster). Interesting part of RDNA4 is, with topclass modular RDNA4 of the table and midrange class gpu now to be the fastest offering, what AMD thinks, that NVidia has in midrange. Obviously at design stage, AMD expected NVidia to go big this generation and go big with their top model (thats why there was that big modular RDNA4 project), but also with midrange 5070 class. So we are most likely getting same-ish performance from these cards. Personally i would say, that is the real answer why we got that last minute leak about RDNA4 beeng on level of 7900GRE. AMD just put this info out there in hopes of conforting NVidia, so they would not reconsider their pricing for 5070 class. But i could be wrong and those benchmark were actually correct and that 7900xt to 7900xtx estimate was just target for midrange RDNA4 and they didnt get there. But i think that, if midrange RDNA4 doesnt have some specific hardware problem (it shouldnt - its monolitic die), software controll (drivers) sould be much easier to do than what it was on big RDNA3, where presented performence was not what what we got in final product, because of drivers.

[@eugkra33]

3.0 to 3.1 GHz is 400mhz higher than the 7800xt boosted. Or 14.8% higher than the 7800xt. Add 6% more Compute Units to that equation with 64 vs 60 CU, and what you have is a GPU that's 20% faster than a 7800xt, or 5% to 10% faster than 7900 GRE. that's assuming almost 100% perfect clock, and core scaling.

yeah i call bullshit, best case scenarion its slightly faster than the 7900xt, so maybe 10-15% behind the 4080. which would be fine if it was priced between $399-$449. at $499 it better be much closer to the 4080 ( which i doubt ) i have little hope for this card, Amd will probably price it at $499 with 7900xt performance which would be pretty pathetic 2 years later, could care less about the ray tracing improvements, everyone will end up buying the 5070 instead like every other generation lol. AMd needs to be aggressive and they probably wont be

[@lorenzwiedemar1837]

Hm... as far as I remember, after the disapointing AMD7xxx launch every Tech Tuber and my grandmother said something like "wait for the new drivers, there's gonna be more performance available". How ever, two years later the performance picture hasn't changed, just a slight cost adjustment has occured. I doubt the RDNA 4 gen will offer the level of cost/performance it requires to stand a chance against Nvidia. And the entry level is beiing swooped by Intel. Dark times ahead for us AMD users.

[@mraltoid19]

Knowing AMD, the 9070XT is going to perform between the 5070 and 5070-Ti, and they are going to price it between them too, but closer to the 5070-Ti. So, expect $659-$679.99 for the 9070XT.

If AMD fails to compete with the 4080 this generation, you either go with NVidia and only have 12-16GB of VRAM, or get a 7800 XTX. I really hope there will be a 9090 XT or something that beats their best current gen in raw raster performance.

I kind of hope the talk about Druid almost being clear for tape out three or four months back turns out to be true and the reason Intel hasn't shown any B770 or similar higher end cards is because they are instead preparing to get Druid on the market. That would make their new cards a lot more likely to upset Nvidia and AMD. Now I don't have any new information about these, I'm just hoping Intel can reach for the moon here. The chance of this happening is anyway extremely low. But I want to hope for something that might change the GPU market.

[@zackw4941]

For me to be interested, AMD needs to hit a price to performance ratio of $600 for 7900XTX + substantially improved RT/FSR, or better. Since they probably won't make this performance target from the look of it, the price needs to come closer to $500 (or less) for the base cards and the AIB's can't jack the prices on custom coolers.

[@PCgamingbenchmarktime]

anything over $500 and im out, most people will just pay the extra $100 and get the 5070 which will probably perform about the same but better in RT and much better upscaling, we still dont know how FSR 4 will turn out and how quickly it will be introduced into games. AMD is unknown, Nvidia is already proven. it would be a disaster for AMD if they price it over $500, history repeats lol i'd like to think AMD isnt that dumb but the current gen's launch prices were mostly terrible and they actually went backwards with marketshare lol

[@zackw4941]

@@PCgamingbenchmarktime We are in agreement then. I think FSR is doing OK. DLSS is still generally better, but comparing back to back in a handful of games, they each have pros and cons. FSR looks a little sharper and more vibrant, while DLSS has a softer, smoother look, for better or worse. The main thing is that DLSS has a tendency to clean up wonky textures, like hair for example, while FSR doesn't.

[@26Guenter]

Lol AMD and Nvidia going back and forth with the "leaks". The 5090 is going to be 40-60% faster than the 4090 for $2000 US. Everything below it will be 20-30% faster than the previous generation. As for its production, they're having some problems but nothing major. It's delayed because of GB202 dies going to Quadro cards and data center. The 9070 XT is going to be competitive with the 5070 Ti, but significantly cheaper, around $600 US. This is why the 5070 Ti was bumped to 16GB. I'm optimistic that Nvidia isn't going to go insane on pricing with everything below the 5090. I'd expect the cards to be the same price as the previous gen or $50-$100 more expensive.

[@thousandyoung]

They are both scalping the Shit out of you Clowns.

[@PCgamingbenchmarktime]

yeah i was following along until you said the 9070xt will be competiting with the 5070ti. it will be much closer to the 5070. the specs are pretty weak, no way it gets that close to the 4080. maybe within 15% without overclocking. Amd will probably only price it $50 below the 5070 too lol. if it was $449 it would be an ok card, anything over $500 and everyone will buy the 5070

[@26Guenter]

@PCgamingbenchmarktime 5070 is going to be around 4070 Ti/Super and 5070 Ti will be at best 10% faster than the 4080/Super. 9070 XT just needs to be within 10% of the 5070 Ti.

[@PCgamingbenchmarktime]

@26Guenter those are pretty much the exact estimates I've been thinking besides the 70ti being closer to 15% ahead of 4080. Pretty close lol. Estimates for the 9070xt on the other hand differ ,the specs don't line up. I just can't see the 9070xt being any better than the 7900xt in raster, in sure it will be around 15-20% better in RT but who cares honestly lol. Still will be behind the 50 series cards by a good amount. The 5070 and 9070xt should be pretty close in raster imo, probably 20% behind in RT and we still have no clue how fsr 4 will turn out, and nvidia will have dlss 4 apparently to make it even more difficult on Amd lol. Amd really needs to price this right. $449 would make it compelling enough to buy over the 5070, at $499 most people will buy nvidia like always. AMD said they're going to be more aggressive in the low to midrange with the cards. Anything above $449 is not being aggressive, the only way $499 would be appealing is if Nvidia is stupid enough to increase the prices by $50 up to $649. Which wouldn't surprise me, but with such a small uplift over the 4070 super that would be asking for trouble lol

[@Phemruto]

AMD playing 4D chess, doubt it. I think the cards are just underpowered and over priced, What is the point of buying a little slower 4080 card from AMD when you could just buy a 4080 card. The problem is there not releasing this product in a vaccume. I just don't see the value, but if it was as fast as a 7900 xt then It wouldn't bother me so much.

how are those prices great ? i cant understand that logic at all. that would be extremely close to the 5070 pricing. the 5070 should be close to a 4070ti super in performance for $599 (nvidia would be crazy to up the price for such a small uplift over the 4070 super ) for AMD to be competitive it would need to be a max price of $499, and thats only IF it really was within 5% of the 4080...which i highly doubt. i can see it being close to the 4070ti super at best. in which case it would need to be $449 or less

A nerfed bios/driver would make sense. When board partners start making and testing the cards, the potential for leaks greatly increases. If AMD wants to keep the perfomance a secret, a nerfed bios would allow for the cards to be tested and the performance can be compared to AMDs numbers with the same bios. I know its some wishful thinking but we have already heard rumors claiming higher performance. Also if the highest end card is a x700xt/x070xt, hopefully thats a sign that its going to be priced at the lower end of whats speculated. Calling it a x700xt whilst charging x800xt prices would just be an unnecessary blunder, but then this is AMD.

Hardware issue with artifacting something in the design did it when it was spined out at TSMC. RDNA3.5 Fixes it in handhelds, which are faster than regular based RDNA3. The 7900XTX doesn't Artifact because they removed some performance from it (-30%). It has to do with its RDNA3's dual issue pre-clock & combination of shader/RT cores problem which included the schedular. the driver fix could not remove the aritfacting.
