Meh... two generations of graphcis and can't compete with a 3090 =S.
Intel need to release a b770 gpu just to eat amd shares.

Are you saying the 3090 is better than the 7900xtx?

How is AMD supposed to compare their cards against unreleased hardware? Of course they will be competing against each other, newest gen vs newest gen, and reviewers will give us benchmarks once they are released. But its completely normal for any company, when releasing their new product, to compare against the previous generation of products especially when the NEXT GEN ISN'T RELEASED YET. That stands for Nvidia, AMD, and Intel.

Simple. You don't compare it to the competition. You compare it to your own previous generation. Is AMD mentioned anywhere in Nvidia's Blackwell presentation? Nope.

Why are people so confident the 5070 will be faster than the 4080? Have you seen the specs? It's 4070 ti super territory, at best. If the 9070 XT is faster than a 4070 ti super, it's faster than a 5070.

I'm honestly unsure where you see it widely claimed the 5070 will be faster than the 4080 in this topic? People here in the topic speculate the 5070 might get close to the 4080, but I didn't see claims of it being definitely faster. Also, if the 9070 XT is only a little faster than the 4070Ti, then its actual competition, the 5070Ti, will be faster than it by your own speculation. There will be a 9070 non-XT to compete with the 5070. Plus, specs on paper alone don't give you the full picture. I do agree it will likely slot into that performance tier, but from the info we currently have, I don't think we can say for sure yet. For any of these cards.

I've seen speculation elsewhere that the 5070 would match a 4080, which is dubious at best. I wouldn't be so sure of the 9070XT being aimed at the 5070ti either. I find it much more likely the XT trades blows with the regular 5070 considering the specs for XT are out there and the math doesn't add up to a 5070 ti competitor. If you think the 9070XT can compete with the 5070 ti despite having a 40% memory throughput deficit... you're probably in for a bitter disappointment!

I would have to actually like AMD GPUs to be disappointed in their performance. I have far too many negative experiences with the to do that, so I don't really give a lick about them in that regard.

And I compare it to the Ti version because to me that makes the most sense from their new naming; also, going by the little we know they seem of a somewhat similar performance as well. Why change it that way if the intended rival isn't the one most similar to the new name? Why not announce a 9070 and a 9060 XT instead of a 9070 and 9070XT? It will only confuse customers. Though maybe that's the intention, make them believe they are on par when they aren't...
