Reverse groomer.
i doubt 400 is selling at a loss. they just want high margins like nvidia without the software or hardware t justify em

LMAO......
Nvidia should just delay the 5070 indefinitely and remove all release dates and see if AMD will also delay forever or just release their card first. This is a hilarious game of chicken and I'm here for it

yeah, that`s worthless. Obviously FG with no way to know about the baseline settings/performance. The high number however would suggest MFG, not just normal "last gen FG".

They probably should delay everything until at least they're finished with alpha testing. (Damn, at this point I think everybody is just better off waiting until August anyway since maybe Nvidia will have fixed some of the problems with Blackwell and the AMD 9070 might actually be out.)

So I wanted to calculate some stuff. All recent rumors point to 4080/7900XTX levels of performance. Richard from DF said that this would require the biggest generational uplift from AMD ever and I think he is right.
Comparing 7800XT to 9070XT we have:
6% more cores on 9070XT
28% higher clock (that is with rumored 3100MHz Boost clock)
0% higher memory BW.
Combined, that's ~~34% more performance in not memory limited scenarios and assuming that GPU scales EXTREMELY WELL with higher clock. So far differences between RDNA 1/2/3 in raster using GPUs with close specs and the same clock were minimal, so why would RDNA4 be any different?
No way that this GPU will reach this level of performance in raster against GPUs with better specs. Prove me wrong AMD!

Caches and WGP. Soon event
There will be some games with bandwidth limit compared to XTX. That why they need GDRR7 version to remove limit
China guys saying it's 1080p ultra + FG in both situation

it's very long to PC release GTA6, but for you 9070 vanilla would be best choice.

Wonder if there is a chance the rumored 32GB “pro@ card will use GDDR7.

can't buy what doesn't exist, though

If there were a bunch of games the 6700XT is stuttering on, I would. But I think I can make it to the next AMD (10070?) refresh easily. What's the 2025 game that's gonna make my PC melt? I'm probably most excited for Judas and the graphics don't look bleeding edge.

Uknown, if name 9070XT than still old(they use clamshell for 32gb). GDRR7 they would be call 9080.
RDNA5 target in 2026, but usually going xx80 series first.
I don't know what you playing

Unlikely to happen. The memory controller would have to be specifically designed to handle both. On top of that you'd have to have completely different PCBs for GDDR6 and 7 variants as the ball count on the ICs are different, the voltage is different etc.

Lately, I don't know what the next big thing is until its actually launched and reviewed. I wasn't expecting Kingdom Come 2 to be such a big hit. Plus I could easily still be playing games from 2022 in 2026.Uknown, if name 9070XT than still old(they use clamshell for 32gb). GDRR7 they would be call 9080.

That pretty much almost everyone playing old games on new cards
none know for now, December price was 500$ for XT

underrated feature of pc gaming. An unremarkable AAA game like Ghost Recon Breakpoint isn't known as a graphics showcase, but on a midrange gpu in 2026 it'll look crazy.

Yeah, but GTA4 was lagging even 10 years later PC

Sound. Rumors have been skewing super optimistic aside from the latest of high prices. Amd guy already said 900usd is off the table but internet will run with anything, good or bad.

LOL so Nvidia really made AMD go first huh?
This should be entertaining at the very least
