with frame generation.
So not hitting that
260W TDP according to Geizhals … that’s two 8-Pins, or one USB-C. And both wouldn’t burn down your house…
Can’t wait for this card to get released!
Can’t wait for this card to be easily found in shelves for a decent price!
Even if they were a bit more expensive, just having stock would put them in a better position than Nvidia.
That’s not that great imo.
In terms of pure numbers, it’s significantly worse than the 7900 XT, which had 5376 shader cores, a 320 bit bus width, 20 GB of GDDR6 memory and a bandwidth of 800 GB/s. Only the boost clock was worse, at 2.4 GHz.
Let’s hope the additional clock and new architecture offsets this to match/beat the 7900 XT.
They’re not making a flagship card like the 7900/(xtx) this go around. They’re targeting midrange
I’m aware, but right now I could purchase a 7900 XT for a bit less than 699€, including 19% VAT - meaning the price before tax is closer to 566€.
Right now there are some leaks suggesting the RX 9070 XT will be sold for $499 - or 476€. After adding 19% VAT it would be 566€ - or 130€ cheaper than the average 7900 XT:
If the card also performs worse than the 7900 XT, I don’t think it has great value.
Compute power seems to be the same, disregarding any architecture changes. If they manage to pull off equal performance at a lower price and lower power envelope, it’ll actually be quite something.
Hopefully, because something like 10% lower performance at 20% lower price is nothing to be excited about imo.
It’d make a good card if it matched the 7900 XT and a great one if it beat it.
That’s because you already have top notch gear:) For everyone that’s not already at 7900 level performance 90% of the performance at 80% of the price is great.
For those that are able to spend 80% of the price, that is.
I wish I had top notch gear :(
I just don’t think a price-to-performance improvement of 12.5% for a new generation is good. It’s OK, sure, but nothing to write home about.
It’d be good at $449 and great at $399 but I haven’t seen any leak suggesting these prices.
I just don’t want this card to be an incremental improvement over the 7800 XT instead of a substantial one.
Edit: Wouldn’t this make the 9070 XT pretty much identical to the 7900 GRE both in price and in performance? From what I can tell, the 7900 GRE is the best price-to-performance upper midrange card AMD has.
The value will be a comparsion of path tracing and raying performance on ultra, no FSR and no DLSS, at 1440p ultra of 9070 XT and 5070 Ti.
To get gamers interested in Radeon, if ray tracing performance matches or slightly higher than 5070 Ti, than it must be priced at $500 to beat 5070 at $550 or gamers will buy nVidia.
