[Admin]

AMD's Lisa Su says that the Radeon RX 9070-series graphics cards shattered company sales records in their first week, signaling a potential market rebound as AMD shifted focus away from the high end. A deeper analysis raises a lot of questions about the supply and demand, however.

If only they had a reference board I could buy at MSRP...

Come in a lot cheaper than your competitor with good features that actually matter and have plenty of stock when the other side can't provide enough?

Shocking revelation.

Funnily enough, the craptastically priced 9070 non-XT is gathering dust on shelves.

Ngreedia treating gamers as an afterthought while robbing them blind even at the impossible to find msrp prices, probably has a lot to do with that. If AMD can offer a solid 60 series halo competitor I might well drop team green for team red. Problem is at this point anyone wanting a 80 series card or above performance has no reason to go AMD as they don't have any cards to compete. Lets hope AMD aims high next gen.

My thoughts exactly....

I expect that one will get a price adjustment in time.

It is? Last I could tell, those are sold out as well, even if some buyers are choosing to do it only because the XT model is sold out.

And yes, it will get a price adjustment, just as 7900 XT did (though it take a few iterations to REALLY get sexi on price).

We'll just have to see if AMD pulls off the same as they have with 9800X3D in significantly ramping up production.

I think that depends on what country you're in and the pricing. I know in SEA there's stock, but I think in the US it's only available with combo deals. Europe has really gotten hit hard with bad pricing overall so I'm not sure how indicative their stock situation might be.

I'm kinda hoping the Arc B770, whenever that comes out, doesn't face the same scalping issues.

it wont arc is a weird case of its ok for newer pcs but older pcs it will fumble on which is the issue i have with intel it kind of alienates a good chunk of the market especially the average mom or dad that just want a semi decent gpu i mean the a380 isnt a gaming gpu but it is fine for most tasks and light gaming depending on the res but it needs to be on a newer platform.

Who cares what she says, no stock where I live and prices are 25% higher than they should be based on RRP.

 

[valthuer]

Ngreedia treating gamers as an afterthought while robbing them blind even at the impossible to find msrp prices, probably has a lot to do with that.

With her paper launch, missing ROPs, black screens and no-more-PhysX, Nvidia has screwed up so badly, that all AMD had to do to get it right, was to successfully deliver the basic stuff.

And she did.

If only they had somethinng that would even remotely compete with a 5080 or up. 4K gamers are tired off getting scammed by 2.5K or 4K USD cards and no other alternatives.

Well, in reality... they don`t...

The 9070 is sold out everywhere because at the same price, it beat the hell out of the 5070 while hosting 16GB vice 12GB for the 5070.

this tbh...moment they said they werent doign a founders was day I knew msrp for theirs wouldnt happen.

If the maker no longer has foudners then board partners can YOLO on what they list it as becasue what else you going to buy? intel???

AMD not making a "founders edition" ? Seems legit - Founders Ed are Nvidia's.
As for Reference designs, AMD didn't make them either : for the last decade or so, they were merely base specs models made by Sapphire (and some others sometimes), and many got blasted by reviewers (often for no other reason than "they are too basic").
So, you're blaming AMD for not doing what most reviewers told them they shouldn't have done before. I dunno, it seems... Hypocritical at best ?
My take is, considering how much hatred there is towards AMD GPU products and how many "3 years later" reviews there are on those same products that end with "actually, these products were great!", you should look at reviews that announce the best cost per frame and buy the best ratio for the best tier you can afford.
Surprisingly, they end up up being "AMD" quite often.
