Yeah, what would be the point of the 9070 if the XT was only $50 more.

Hidden movement?:
It's a compromise. The XT comes out at a good price and stays there, the DX comes out at a bullshit price and drops fast like they usually do.
Now all they need to do is not make enough XT's and jack up the street prices on those so impatient people buy the dx Get on the level, AMD. Mindfuck us.

It's to upsell the 9070 XT, there's hardly any defective dies on 5nm, so there will be way more chips suited for the 9070 Xt than the 9070.

Why does AMD suck at consistently naming their video cards?

Oh, that's simple. Last gen they needed a way to justify the stupid increase in price for each tier so they renamed each card a tier above and had to come out with 3 different 7900s.
But since it was retarded and disconnected from tier/chip size, they had to change their names again to avoid shooting themselves in the foot. This time they chose the same way Nvidia names their cards

PowerColor’s 9070 series cards:
What’s weird about this MicroCenter leak is the Reaper is their entry level model.
Those white cards are pretty slick looking, especially for an RGB’d out case with window. I have side panel window, but I don’t like RGB it gives me a headache these days.

It means a lot. You can't decide a price and then change it based on availability. The PS5 was impossible to find at launch, but once it was, the MSRP is the price people paid for it.
It all comes down to supply. The fact retailers have had plenty of them in stock for more of a month is good news, but they will be sold out id you're not quick.

600 means 900-1000 in europe. We'll see how good these cards are, how good fsr4 is and how is the supply. If its good and i can get one at launch around 900 euro i might switch. A lot of "if" s tho
The 50 series was pretty much aligned with exchange rates so hopefully it's the same for these cards. £979, €1,229 and $999 for the 5080 as an example with the latter without tax for the US.

Not what I mean. You would think that the 9070 predecessor would have been the 8070, but instead it's 7700. then previous to that is 6700, 5700, Vega 20, Vega 64, RX570, RX470, R9370
Meanwhile nVidia be like GTX770, GTX870, GTX970, GTX1070, RTX2070, RTX3070, RTX4070, RTX5070
AMD is all over the place and inconsistent.

If true, this makes it faster than 7900 XTX/4080S but slower than a 5080.

And if that's the performance for around $600, that would be an awesome alternative to whatever the hell nvidia is charging currently.

Now that we know the raster and we got an idea about the price (599-649$ most likely), it's all about the technology, hope they got some stuff to show from FSR 4 and even FG (and some expanded RT details)

Ray-tracing performance would be on par with a 4070 Ti I'm guessing?

These numbers look solid if true.
For anyone targeting 4k @ 60fps I can attest that you will rarely encounter situations where you need more than a 4080, so if they can get the price right (along with having real world availability) then I think these should do well.

Hopefully the next FSR is as good as nvidia's DLSS (without fake frames counting), then it's pretty much gg for me unless the AMD drivers are complete shit again.

That seems too good to be true. I really hope the reviews from independent outlets are in line with that assessment though. That would be great.

Man, who decided to do this so early? Happening at 5am PST here on the west coast. Hoping to get a decent MSRP and detailed info on FSR4.

Hardware naming in general. Nvidia isn't much better with the Super, Ti, Bad Dragon, Super Ti, and what not.
Monitor and TV names, too. It's all not very good.

I don't usually expect much from AMD, but the ball is in their hands now and Nvidia is playing a shit game.
Go to the OT everyone! This thread will be locked.
