All I care is a 7900XT level card at $500 launch! They may call it whatever they want and I'm good at that price. Already have a 7900XT but don't need 20GB vran, I can trade both and profit. Bet it's going to be less power hungry too.

On Nvidia side only the RXT 5060 TI 16GB will be worth anything next gen as 12GB already showing signs of not being enough. Indiana is chewing 15GB at max settings even at 1080p

Wasn't it supposed to be a 9700XT?

welcome to AMD's baffling product names, Ryzen AI Max+ 395 included

I learned very early to add the first 2 digits of AMD cards to get the speed level. So 7700 = 7+7 = 14 card. 6800 = ⁶+8=14 card, rtc.

Now they adopt the crazy NVidia scheme to add the 1st and third digit so 1080 = 1+8 = 2070 = 2+7 = 3060 = 3+6 = a 9 series card.

except that doesn't really work.
7800 XT = 6800 XT despite the difference between 14 and 15. 7900 XTX and 8800 XT won't be similar in performance, despite both being in 15. The RX 5600 XT and RX 6500 XT are in different leagues, despite both being in 11.

Nailed it!

We'll see. I anticipate cards getting more expensive, not less, so a 7900XT equivalent will likely still be pushing that boundary.

As for NVidia, I doubt the only card in the portfolio worth anything will be the 5060. We can all hope a decent 5070 happens without a year long gap before we get the actual product and not an in-name-only version.

Using 15GB or allocating 15GB? A lot of games will allocate as much Vram as they can see, just because. Doesn't mean they are actually using it all.

For as much doom and gloom as there is in the GPU market, that doesn't make sense. Perf/$ is rising. AMD's performance is falling or not changing much this gen (depends how you weight raytracing), so the price is going down.

As bad as the new 9070 name is, using '7' instead of '8' as in 8800 XT or the '9' of 7900 XT(X) is an indicator that AMD is aiming for cheaper cards this time around, like the RDNA1 generation led by the 5700 XT. Could be as high as $599, but hopefully less.

no more 8800xt?

 

[ilukey77]

The 9070 needs 20gb and GDDR7 at the very least !!

It needs to be a top spec 5070 competitor/beater !!

Any thing below that will be food for Nvidia's low end crap and Intel's b770 cards !!

This may be true, but it's speculation currently for both of us. The issue here, to me, is that prices haven't gone down over the past few generations. You may get a bit more for the money, but it's still more money. Also, for what it's worth, $599 isn't a $500 launch, and with the way things are trending (not just in the GPU world), I'm hesitant to believe companies can comfortably cut costs in the next year.

Believe me, I'm fine being wrong here. It doesn't hurt my feelings at all.

Radeon RX 9070 XT could look like anything most cards these days look pretty much the same as creativity by vendors has been curbed all that matters is performance otherwise its like putting lipstick on a pig lol. honestly if amd go with there trend.​

rdna 1 broken and power hungry
rdna 2. less broken and less power.
rdna 3 experiment broken had to increase power limit to see a decent jump. as performance wasnt much diffrence.
rdna 4 fixes rdna 3 but will be a improvement in power consumption is my prediction.

rdna 5 will probly be more power hungry because its a brand new tech.
