DOA at that price unless it’s level with a 5080. They said the were targeting 4070 family performance which is around 500-800. It’s need to be cheaper than the 5070 by a good 150-250 if that’s true.

This is a click.bait article, it has already been decided the XT will cost $600 and the non XT $500

Decided by whom? I haven't seen anything official. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if these prices are correct.

Here’s how I see it:
AMD keeps making discrete GPUs (like the new RX 9070) because it’s not just about beating NVIDIA on every spec sheet. Their discrete GPU R&D trickles down into everything from console APUs (think PlayStation/Xbox) to high-performance computing (Instinct line), and it helps keep their CPU+GPU ecosystem competitive. Sure, you might miss out on some of NVIDIA’s proprietary features like advanced ray tracing, path tracing, and DLSS, but AMD offers open alternatives like FSR, moderate RT support, and typically a better price-to-performance ratio. If you’re running an AMD CPU, features like Smart Access Memory can give you an extra boost, too.

Bottom line:
Even if AMD doesn’t always top the benchmarks, they still provide gamers with more choice and help keep GPU prices in check, which benefits everyone. Yes, it’d be nice if they were more powerful or cheaper, but they fill a critical space in the gaming GPU market, even if it’s not the absolute top end with all the bells and whistles.

Why can't anyone just make a good naming convention? One that represents where it ranks this gen and compared to last gen. Or even the letters.

Does this mean there will be an AMD equivalent to the Nvidia Ti's? A non-XT, XT but no XTX. Surprise drop or bad naming.

What do you folks think.

If they released a 24GB version that was a direct competitor to the 5080 for around $1000 I couldn't get my money out fast enough. Call it the 9080XTX.

They're priced inline compared to expected performance and Nvidia pricing for 50 series. While I personally think they should be $100 and $150 less respectively, that doesn't look to be happening. That said if you can get them at MSRP compared to inflated Nvidia they'll sell and still be good value by comparison.

It just sucks.

They won’t be as MSRP or will perform worse though as is the usual pattern.

>16 GB
So, less memory than the 3090 I've had for years?
Is this a GPU for cavemen?

At 650$ the rx 9070 xt is extremely good price in terms of comparison to price of RTX 5070 TI (which costs around 1350$ here rn) and in terms of performance comparison between the two GPUs. And no surprise with the braindead Nvidia fanboys crying their salty tears on how 9070 xt is going to fail at launch 🤡 Better go fireproof power connectors on your clown nvidia gpus 🤡
