@@mattstansbeary3068sadly, loads of people 😢. The consumer is well and truly slow boiled now by NVidia. There are plenty of NVidia drones to buy 5000 series cards.
because you keep thinking of amd as same good guy who cares about gamers when in reality all they did in the last 2-3 gens was to maximize profits in relation to how nvidia position themselves in the market. the result? even the tiny share of the market who still bought amd was disappointed and their market share is still shrinking, naturally.
You’re from a tiny tiny fraction of the market share that AMD managed to capture (maybe 8% idk) If AMD wants to capture market share and be competitive, they need to offer significantly more than what you’re accepting. I think at minimum they need to offer a tier above performance for the same price / tier under pricing for the same performance. That means 5070ti performance for 5070 price or 5070 performance for 4060ti price. They might need to do even more than that to be honest..

Why does AMD have to rush it when they clearly don't have their shit together? It's much better if they wait instead of releasing a buggy GPU with buggy software and support. But they clearly panicked for a sec when Nvidia came out with all their frame-gen BS. But then, despite a no-show in the CES, waiting for people to call Nvidia on their BS as reviews for the 5090/5080 started to show up was a better strategy than showing real numbers against Nvidia absurd numbers and also losing. A lot of the headlines wouldn't wait for actual product comparison and they would only care to compare the charts from the presentation. I don't think AMD had a lot of options to deal with that, it was a lose-lose situation. So I would ask Coretks, what would you do if you were in AMD's place? Just saying they lost is way too easier than having a solution. And I'm not even an AMD defensor or buyer, I just thought it was a bit unreasonable giving the situation, everybody can complain and kick someone on the ground, I liked more older videos with less complain and more insights about hardware rather than the market takes, which are usually quite obtuse. But I agree, AMD was full of shit with their excuses and indeed they should be more disruptive and price it on their own. On the bright side, they will be forced to price the 9070 lower than if that was a 9080 that would lose to the 5080, isn't it better that it will be priced lower and possibly beat the 5070Ti then? I agree that AMD should not focus on fake frame gen but I don't agree that AMD should put FSR4 as a side note, it got a lot of positive reviews as their prerelease obscure lab FSR in CES. They should indeed focus on their raster punching above its weight class, but they obviously have to show their new AI-based upscaling model with its improvements over its predecessor. Why the heck would they present that as just a side note?? That would be a awful marketing decision - even more since that was the only positive AMD received during CES.
Until AMD actually decides to be as aggressive in the GPU market as they are in the CPU and APU market, they will always lose, and this is coming from a person that loves AMD and has only owned AMD GPUs, I have never owned Nvidia, as long as AMD keeps playing catch up in the GPU market they will always automatically give the win by default to Nvidia and Nvidia will keep having most of the gaming market share, I want AMD to finally grow some balls in the GPU space, be aggressive and finally get a win, but as long as they keep playing stupid games they won't
The way they were so low key on FSR4 tells me it's NOT ready, the way cards have been sitting on retailers' backroom shelves for a month tells me drivers are not ready, and the fact we've heard zilch on RT outside of leaks is concerning as well. AMD leaks are _always_ heavily optimistic and none of this looks good. Being taken aback by Nvidia pricing wouldn't postpone launch by THAT long. You can do a price change in literal days. There's something wrong that they aren't telling us. What they NEED to do is be open and honest with the consumer, and no one feels that from Radeon division right now.
Honestly, my 7900 XTX has been an excellent GPU. A bit on the power-hungry side, but at a 355w TDP it was a massive leap over my previous 200w 3060 Ti. And while it lacks the RT performance in some titles that Nvidia has, the sheer raster performance & abundance of VRAM for ~$875 (at least that’s what I paid for the ASRock Phantom OC model) is hard to beat. Even if the 9070 XT is *only* able to match that performance, I could still see it being a successful GPU if it indeed has the claimed “40% improvement” in RT & a TDP under 300w. The only downside is the 16GB GDDR6; I would’ve liked to have seen 20GB at the very least. That way cards like the 7900 XT won’t ironically age better at higher resolutions, due to having the extra VRAM that will (inevitably) become more relevant as newer titles continue to be more demanding like they have in the last 3-4 years.
You don't need more than 16GB of VRAM for gaming, that's more than plenty. I've got an RTX 3080 10GB model and have never had a single problem with VRAM. If you are encountering issues, either:- i) The game is not optimised ii) You are experiencing a memory leak elsewhere in your system Interestingly, I've watched a lot of gaming benchmark channels and the thing I've noticed is that if you have two card of similar baseline performance and one has more VRAM packed than the other, for some reason the card with the higher VRAM is overcommitted when exactly the same settings are being used for the games. Basically the more you have, is the more the games pulls, just because. I think this whole VRAM fad is a psychological and financial trap for a lot of gamers. The number one rule is making sure your card is designed to run games at the recommended specs. You wouldn't obviously use an 8GB card if you're planning on running 4K, or really high textures and effects. Cut your clothes according to your cloth, but 16GB should be more than enough.
@@ironfreddy3192 They don't. The only thing that requires anywhere near 32 GB is heavy rendering work for content creation etc. Gaming does not use that much VRAM, I've watched numerous benchmarking vids and tested this stuff myself. Also, most people do not max out graphics cards settings, and is in fact stupid if you do. People need to learn how to optimise their games, most are leaking performance for no reason.

Yeah, Cor has been pretty below par views of AMD's GPUs and always has. I mean I'm not suprised with how much he hypes up a lot of Nvidia tech in leaks.
I'm done keeping up with PC gaming. Almost all AAA games are trash anyway. We have so much raster performance alone on 3000 and 4000 generation Nvidia RTX cards that there's no reason to buy new. I have stopped buying new since I bought a GTX 970 when Nvidia screwed us on the 3.5GB/4GB RAM drama (I got a payout on from the class action lawsuit). My next card was a used GTX 1080Ti for $450. Next, I bought a used RTX 3080 for $450 on eBay early last year. I may consider a used 3090 24GB when it hits similar prices because running local LLMs is more interesting these days.
just get a used 4080 Super in a year or so. But I agree. Pascal was the last great one. my 1070ti Lasted me YEARS. the 3060 i had to get to replace it due to optimisation and DLSS last year for £270 just isnt hitting the mark. But the 4060 is worse as i play 1440p. due to its 8gb of VRAM and cut bus. Was hopeful for a 5070 but seeing it be a 128bit bus and 12GB of VRAM. its actually got worse specs than my RTX3060. granted it will be better but wont last long with the BUS and VRAM allocation to it. £400 should get you a MINIMUM 192bit bus and 16gb VRAM.
true, AMD market department is shit. They always set a high price, get no sale, educated by the market and finally low down the price. I can't understand why they don't just set a low price at first so that more people will buy it
With energy prices going constantly up, powering those PCs is getting expensive. 4090 can be down clocked to take only over 500W, gpu only, what a catch. If you leave it stock you will probably need close to 1000W for the system, so like 1500W PSU.
@edhorseman2237 Best sales = best product is poor logic. There are countless great products that didn't sell well. PS Vita, Wii U, Virtual Boy, etc. I've run into comments from folks who assume nVidia's CES framerates were native (raster) and don't even understand DLSS or MFG. Consumers follow the herd, not excellence.
Wrong. They want to maximize profits for their shareholders. Whatever calculation leads to the most profit with the best profit to risk ratio will be used. The issue is low information consumers and brand-name loving gamers / sheep represent ~90% of the buyers.
@@雨ノ下雫the "70" doesnt say much. Its not a 7700 successor. This card will trade blows with a 4080/7900XTX. So yea, if they wanna sell an XTX for like 450$ that would be fantastic but very unlikely. I can do with a $600 price if the performance checks out and FSR4 are the real deal.

@@skewty Tremendous logic you got there. Disable DLSS so that you can circle jerk with your AMD card about ‘raster’ meanwhile more games are mandating RT as a prerequisite. Keep upgrading every generation with your AMD card that’s always behind curve and let me know how that goes..
Seems so for Radeon. I get the old mantra 'Radeon doesnt merely exist to lower Geforce prices for Nvidia buyers." But were past a point now where such arguments matter in brass tax. Back during the heyday of the 290x>Polaris>Vega 56 When AMD were delivering insanely good value and feature set next to Nvidia it made sense, but a lots changed over 7 years. More plainly; RDNA3 was a flop and market share dumped off a cliff from it. Even Intel ARC is picking up momentum as the B580 commonly sells out; Radeon meanwhile just doesnt seem to care anymore if their cards sell or not.
Pretty sure they have something called "fiduciary duty" which means they need to make as much money as possible for shareholders. Even if they want to get it in as many hands as possible at a smaller gain... They can literally be sued by shareholders if they do that and it backfires on the share price..
The chaos surrounding the introduction the 90 series cards is a masterclass marketing fuck up lol. Having said that, I'm still genuinely excited about the cards. If performance leaks are accurate and the price for the 9070xt is
$1000 for any video card is fkn crazy, I don't know how we let companies cornered us to this point. But just hearing the 5090 is a "good deal/value" is ridiculous. If you're a business, maybe. But both Nvidia and Amd know most people buying this are living in their parents basement thanks to the world housing crisis *with some exceptions. This truly is the dark ages for consumers, crappy software/games and outrageously priced hardware. Just look at the 7800x3d 50% over normal market value and people keep buying them faster than they can make them. Stop the madness! Vote with your wallet 💰 💶
Disgusting isnt it. My 1070ti was 2 stacks from the top the king 1080ti (titans were not for gaming) and they where available for £400-450 on launch (£550 today) and you got TOP tier performance. as only the 1080 was above it. Now making "90" class cards has cut the REST OF THE ENTIRE STACK. Making bus and VRAM counts drop for 80/70/60 cards. 90 cards should of never existed but carried on being expensive titans. the fact they decided to milk us the gamers says a lot. now you get a 5070 and its got a MINISCULE BUS and same RAM as a 3060. and there will be likely 3/4 stacks above the 5070ti as the 80/80ti/90/Rumours of a 90TI.
Rumour has it Lisa Su is not happy that Radeon is taking up so many wafers (desktop GPUs) and was behind the decision to delay (source MLID). If so, this will backfire doubly: if AMD sells this at 800 and it is actually near 5080 performance, they might have to produce a lot more than they estimated. Even more wafers that Lisa wanted for AI stuff.
As someone who is potentially looking at getting a 9070xt, the leaks of 2.5x better RT performance and the showcasing of FSR 4 (Which was fantastic) shouldn't be understated. They should target raster performance as the main deal but FSR 4 and RT Performance will be much better than previous iterations.
It allllll comes down to pricing. Pricing is striking a balance between maximising profit margins, and offering a good value proposition. And them delaying the release is making me think they want to wait to see 5070 performance and adjust their prices closer to NVIDIA’s price/performance to not miss on profit margins. AMD never failed because they didn’t price their cards with enough profit margins. They always failed because they didn’t offer enough value.
"Actual 70s class prices" $650 and $550. 🤣😂 This "new normal" is a bunch of BS. A few generations and they domesticated you nicely. Just buy used and stick it to both of 'em !
All that matters now is 5070 vs 9070 and 5070ti vs 9070XT. If AMD matches the price equal to that of Nvidia here, i swear 9070 and 9070XT will sell like hotcakes. People are already fed up of the lies from Nvidia(5070 = 4090 perf). The 7900 GRE has won tons of fans as well, so there are a good number of people that will absolutely buy AMD if and only IF AMD don't raise the price of these 9070 and 9070XT cards to 80 class prices.
No no it wont. The vast majority of cards are sold to normal non tech ppl. Mostly they dont know AMD. They are told by their "tech friend" to get the Nvidia card because "its just better" If AMD wants to gain market share they cant rely on marketing. "AMD has terrible marketing, we all know it." They must rely on Price. If they get great perf at great price ONLY THEN can they start to turn around the Image of AMD GPU's. Until they can turn around the marketing blunders of the last 15 years, they will not gain much if any market share. I prefer AMD. I hate Nvidia's "practices," but this is just reality.
Simple story is that Lisa Sue is completely focused on CPUs since forever and had no problem to canibalize income from GPU division to supply CPU part of AMD with money. But now when their CPUs are rocking she is unwilling not only to supply GPU division with CPU money but to even get less than 50% margins. And on top of it they even give full pricing control to AIBs and retail.
I think the biggest mistake was dividing the gpu division in tattoo, separate architectures with r d n a and c d n a . The c d n a overperforms and is bringing money hand over fist while r d n a is stumbling. She's basically announced that both those teams are remerging, As well as the architecture so that the new gaming cards can be used in enterprise as well if it doesn't sell as well in gaming. What that means is the future radion division is gonna make a lot of money but it also means gamers are going to be left behind because a m d's two k flagship.We'll have almost no stock, just like nvidia.Because all the a I bros are gonna buy it
Uhm, That is not at all what the AMD Income/Expense statements say. AMD's Problem is 1 thing. Marketing. When you compare AMD marketing to Nvidia marketing. It is like a child verses the world Chess pro. Its not in the same league.
Годину тому
@@dralord1307 Sorry but you overcomplicate it. Solution is easy and AMD used it with Ryzen. New family of new products, weaker than competition but way less expensive, 2nd gen somewhat parity with competition but on the weaker side still way cheaper, 3rd gen parity on the storng side and similar prices yet still little cheaper than competition, 4th gen superiority in performance and parity in price. They did it, they know how to do it. But it requires 3 gens of lower margins. And Lisa Sue gets wet when she thinks about CPUs so she was willing to do it with Ryzen. She is dry like Sahara when she thinks about GPUs and this is why she is not willing to do the same. When price is shit, there is no performance and features parity on top of it there is no amount of marketing magic you can use to make this into success product. And under Lisa this is exactly what happens to GPUs.
Why do you need the sexual attacks against lisa? You got a fetish? Uhm A company is required by law to do everything they can to make their shareholders money. If they knowingly dont they can get sued. They can also get voted out by the board. 3 gens so your looking at around 10 years. Thats simply too long in the corp world. That means they would have had to start on that plan 5 years ago. To be able to bring out the first gen this time. That simply isnt in their plan. Your plan is the one that seems vastly overcomplicated. AMD messed up something in their MCM setup. Thats why the 7k series high end didnt deliver how they wanted, it is probably why the high end this time is canceled. So they made a plan to use their single chips as best they could. Right now they just need to get the marketing/pricing strategy right. They heard Nvidia was doing something crazy and decided to take time to recalculate. 2 months with Nvidia having Very little stock isnt going to hurt AMD
Depending on what AMD Price the 9070XT as, this may not have been a mistake but an INTENTIONAL BLUNDER! I mean, think about it. People have always been saying that in order for AMD to compete with Nvidia that they have to sell a similiar tier card for a much lower price to gain mindshare and market share. Well if this card is a 5080 competitor that they will sell for $499.99($549.99 is the price of the 5070 and AMD normally cuts $50 off from NVidia) Than AMD just achieved that. What if the reason why AMD didn't sell there cards at much lower margins is because there share holders or somebody in charge wouldn't allow it? This "Blunder" might've made them circumnavigate the whole thing.
$650 is still way to high for the 9070xt. It needs to be sub $500 if they want market share. Releasing something that's barely faster than a 5070ti with worse ray tracing for a slight price cut wont do it. And before someone says who cares about ray tracing look at all the major releases. They are all coming out with rt turned on and you can't disable it.
And suppose it competes with a 4080 and super variants (which the 70ti can’t, it’s even more cut down than the 5080 which has little improvement). What then? If it’s trading blows with an 80 class card, for cheaper, what happens then?
So AMD trying to match up to Nvidia's pricing scheme and milk consumers, and Nvidia re-skining a 60 class card, has led to a situation where gamers might actually get some value from a card but the optics of the situation are even more negative than if AMD had just milked consumers. 🤔😅
I think it will do very well at $599. Would absolutely dominate at $549 but I think they'll price it as high as they can. $599 is the highest price that makes sense. If its $649 it puts its self right in the middle where people will either pay less for the 5070 or pay more for the 5070ti, that would be a terrible price lol
Competition is healthy, but the whole point is to see who can offer better value. Value is not simply compared to by name alone, we've wisened up to that kind of bs; benchmark and endurance will show the proof.
Actually I see this as an opportunity for AMD: 1) AMD GPUs were meant to beat 70 series but now they beat 80 series 2) AMD planned to make them 70 class hence they had pricing in mind for 70 class i.e. 500-700USD range based on 4070 ti/super as reference 3) Now actually Nvidia is stuck as competitor has 70 series which beats their 80 series making a good PR for AMD 4) While AMD might not make good earnings on these cards but they already expected this generation to be market establishment rather than profit making generation and being giant now they can absorb losses to keep foothold in Gaming which paves way to AI GPUs as gaming industry is a PR for AI companies to buy GPUs from, which Nvidia forgot and will pay heavy price when Gamers denounce Nvidia and favour Intel and AMD for being gamers friendly companies

Hoping the 9070 performs better than 4080S and matches or beats the 7900XTX while using 275-320W instead of 380W, and launches at $549-599. Basically 5080 performance for $600 would be insane!
If I was AMD, and I saw those 5080 reviews, I would be launching those 9070XT's immediately now. before the 5070Ti and 5070... and put the 9070XT at 500 or 450$.
@DamianB82 you think that amd wouldn't make money at those prices? Don't forget that the 9070 is supposed to be a midrange gpu. That and a card like that, at that price would allow for amd to gain market share. That in turn creates the basis for more and better developer support which would create the opportunity to introduce a next gen feature of their own. That and it would disrupt the gpu market which means nvidia would be forced into a price cut. So the only negatively affected company in this whole scenario is nvidia. AMD comes out of it, even if they for some reason don't make money off of these gpus, much better than they went in.
@@svenweyers3916They might make the money, but there is a catch.. First of all investors are interested in margins so selling too cheap is not a good rule to follow. You have to balance the price to keep margins*volume to make profit. This ain't an easy task to figure out the sweet spot. They have to consider many variables to do that including their current line up in stores and competitors line up. Then you add the fact that they are chasing Nvidia with sales, so even if they have similar performance, brand recognition is against them, thus they certainly need to somehow present better value to mitigate that. Then there is concern about how to distribute wafer allocation vs CPUs at TSMC and so on. They certainly got caught by Nvidia with their release, so now are scrambling their prices to find that selling sweet spot. I mean im the customer myself and waiting for that release to get my GPU for myself, obviously I'd like to buy it for pennies, but I'm also realistic since I more or less know how their business works.

Highly disagree they shouldn't focus on Fsr4 (upscaling,not fake frames) they absolutely should since that's a big reason people won't touch an Amd card. Also at $649....that's too much . Putting it right between the 70 and 70ti would be foolish. The 9070xt might out perform it by 10% but it doesn't matter when you're coming from nvidia and used to their features, people will either buy the weaker 5070 or pay a little more for the 5070ti just based on features and branding alone. $599 is the price it needs to be. 22% cheaper while beating it in raster by around 10% and being very similar in ray tracing. It could be close to a 30% price to performance win for the 9070xt. That's what needs to be done for marketshare, they absolutely do need to show off their upscaling improvements and RT performance. What they need to do is NOT show fake frame comparisons, that's what i agree on. It will be taking a dig at nvidia which will make Amd look better, they can announce improved frame generation but don't have bullshit charts like nvidia did lol. $599 is the key for success imo
Honestly glad about it, If AMD had kept calling it 8800xt and charged $1000 for it, it would be DOA, literally would be the most irrelevant card of the decade. At least maybe they will gain some market share once people realize AMD is again the value king like they were with the Vega 56 and 5700xt. Assuming of course AMD is sane and charge less than $600 for 9070 XT.
The amount of sponsorships coming from shady Windows key sites all of a sudden is somewhat alarming. Also for anybody that can't afford Windows, there is a much better way than giving your money to shady third parties.
What's the problem, exactly? Gamers already had decided to buy 4060 over 7600, 4070 over 7700, 4080 over 7900xtx... Now gamers will get what they wanted. An 80 class card for 70 class pricing, and all the way down the stack. In the end if it doesn't sell then AMD will know that no strategy was the correct one.
His argument is pure idiot fantasy anyway. AMD didn't get 3d gigabrained to rename their cards by Jensen. The gpu prices are set the by TSMC process node prices. 350mm of 5nm is going to $500-$600 regardless of whether AMD calls it a 9070xt or a 8800xt, and its not competing with a $550 5070 its competing with a $750 5070ti that, guess what matches its naming scheme and die size. The renaming was necessary because they became screwed up between 6000 the 7000 series going from 1:1 parity to where the 800 was suddenly competing with the 4070 on price and performance, 900 with 70ti, and 900xtx with 4080. Resetting it is just basic marketing due diligence and it was making their cards look like crap.
The problem is AMD fcked up naming and pricing. 7900xtx should've been the 7800xt for $799 with 20GB VRAM and it would've crushed Nvidia's 80 class cards. Solid 50% uplift over 6800xt with + 4GB VRAM. 7900xt should've been Rx 7800 with 16GB VRAM at $699 and bury the 4070ti class in dirt. But they upped naming by 3 tiers and shot themselves in the foot. RDNA 4 could've easily slotted in at 8700xt and 8700. But no. AMD got greedy with shitty RT and FSR 3.Asshole and shot themselves in the foot. Now they'll hope FSR4 will allow them to repeat the same thing again. Undercut 5070ti by 10% and no one will buy their cards again.

Radeon screwed up and priced the RX 9000 too high. Don't believe the lie that Radeon needed more time to get more supply and polish the drivers. The retailers already have the cards in stock and were supposed to sell them. Radeon even had an announcement post saying the cards already launched. AMD is always f'ing up.
it's all about strategy. AMD is just waiting to finish all the move of NVIDIA. like waiting for the right moment to counter. when it comes to 5080 its a flop and there is no point of waiting to 5070 and 5070 ti. just my opinion.
This is a brilliant marketing ploy. "Oops, we drastically outperform our competitor at lower prices. What ever shall we do?" /*sound of units flying out the door*/
Well I think if Nvidia was "jebating" AMD with the 5070 actually being sold as 5080, that IMHO is good for AMD. Because the benchmarks always make AMD cards look like the worse in head-to-head pairings. Of course they now have to worry about the pricing, if they will sell an 80-class card at 70-class price. But actually, the prices have been skyrocketing so much that the even todays 60-class cards are sold at past's 80-class cards prices. Remains to be seen what the performance of the 9070 will be, though. (What I find more stupid by AMD is to copy-cat the exact naming scheme, but going to a dead-end with jumping to 90x0 - why didn't they pick up 70x0 or at least 80x0?!)
red devil was never a starting point card. It's a top end card. Even then - that means $699 would have been around the MSRP price so they're probably actually thinking oh crap if Nvidia is charging 999 but in reality it's 1199 because there are no MSRP AIB cards - AMD is thinking $899 is the new MSRP!
AMD got themselves all over this time, but they better get their heads in place and release what they got. I hope Intel to bring something as well, please let's have an interesting 2025.
so basically nvidia are grimy and manipulative AF and amd has the opportunity to take the gaming market while nvidia goes after the ai market but amds leadership are a buncha dummies?
We're gonna be dead wrong on the 9070xt performance, he said that about benchmarks that released prior to ces, The benchmarks after c e s puts the 9070xt at slower than a 7900xtx in raster
Yeah it's definitely not beating the xtx. If anything it will be 5% behind it. At least in raster. It should still be pretty close to the 4080 in a lot of games though. But its definitely not going to be 8% behind the 5080 lol maybe 15-20% at best. Which is still amazing if they price it at $599 which would make it 50% cheaper
The 5080 is an 80 class card - it's just severely underpowered this time around. The only 70 class card is the 70 Ti and the '5070' is actually a 5060. It's the memory subsystem that lines up the tiers. 70 and 80 are 256-bit or higher and the 60 class is 192-bit or higher.
I get what you were saying and I don’t 100% disagree with your points. But for all the CES shows in recent history you had AMD launching new GPU’s alongside Nvidia then almost immediately people stopped talking about AMD, the hype totally dissipated and people gave most of the mind share to Nvidia. It’s clear that doing GPU reveals and launches as the same time as Nvidia isn’t working, there are other reasons also besides this was AMD’s gaming market share keeps dropping year over year versus Nvidia. So they are trying something new, keeping their reveal and launches totally separate. It’s a risky move because if their graphics cards and extremely competitive in terms of performance and price they are going to get smoked. AMD’s marketing department will be more important now in building hype ahead of the release than ever before. I totally agree that all the focus needs to be around rasterization but the marketeers need to get the message across as to why this matters. I think AMD is very safe in the console space for the foreseeable future. Neither Sony or Microsoft will jump ship to anyone else because of potential issues around backwards compatibility. Game libraries and preserving games are becoming more and more important to consumers and the big companies know this. To be honest I think AMD knows that they can forget about the casual market, they need to focus on people who are reasonably technologically literate and are not focused on only buying Nvidia. They got burned very badly last time by rushing out multichip dies and they are not going to repeat the same thing any time soon by rushing.
What prevents AMD to price 9070 as 80 class card if it will perform accordingly? Where is the awkwardness? This is a non existent problem. If 9070 is about as good as 5080 then AMD can sell it for 5070ti price for sure.
But it almost certaintly wont preform at the 80 class level. Its been claimed to be a mid-range card and the leaks all but confirm a 5070-5070ti level gpu. Hell, the 5080 only barely beats the 7900xtx, and you want AMDs next gen mid range option to top that? Very very unlikely. Atleast in raster, who knows what frame gen and FSR4 can do.
Sure they could... but then they will remain at 10-15% market share. If they have ANY interest in growing market and mind-share they need to price much better than that. I am not sure they are interested in growing their market share though so they may well fail at pricing yet again.
There's no new info here really. The same stuff that been talked about for weeks now. it seems tech channel are just making videos as a vehicle for ad placement really.
"Offering value and disrupting the market" is exactly what they did with 1st gen RYZEN. Offered generally more for less money than Intel (except gaming). Repeat the playbook for NVIDIA. If raytracing is 30% slower then raster has to be 30% better. Also, the lack of features and worse anti-aliasing have to be accounted for in pricing. At least 30% cheaper than rough equivalent of NVIDIA to sell anywhere near good.
Worst hype I seen for RDNA4. 9070 XT aka 8700 XT, it will be midrange card to compete against the RTX 5070 and if its not priced at least $499 it will flop. /discussion
That's a big if, cause if the 9070XT only ends up been close enough to the 5070Ti or 4070 Ti Super, Then AMD Fucked up by not going High End with a 9080XT and or 9090XT Specially with RT and more developers going Unreal Engine 5 automatically giving Nvidia the Advantage, thus the saying, AMD never mises the Opportunity to miss a Opportunity holds 100% true at least when it comes to the GPU business side of things.
AMD should not chase after the same nomenclature as Nvidia. Whoever at marketing pitched that needs to be laid off because it makes no sense to me to call your stuff the "9070" when the 8800 XT gives off more name recognition and distinction for AMD's stuff. Also to 16:37 I'm sorry but you cannot expect the industry to be hard focus on pure rasterization going forward. I honestly would like to see what they've been working on relative to the AI/Neural rendering stuff as it could pertain to potential VRAM optimizations for the new hardware
The recent DeepSeek AI which slashed $600 billion off of Nvidia's stock valuation, gives AMD the chance to enter the new cheaper AI race in a bigger way than before! Get those newer GPU's out AMD, this may be your best chance to equalize with Nvidia.
yeah... when a company announces they are going to go sideways rather than improve, and rename to 'match' their expectations, then needs 2 extra months to panic code, I'm not buying that they somehow squeeze out an extra 15-20% performance without changing hardware - if a card is designed and ready for release with a certain spec / is tested and found that X values are 'best'... it doesn't inspire confidence in longevity or stability to be all "we were going to release a card that only ran at 80%, had to have that safety margin in there for some reason but not any more, just let me mess with the code so it can push past what we determined it needed to be set to real quick..." I've never owned an nvidia card, from the Radeon 9800Pro up to the 3xRX580 I've got now,. Have built systems for family and friends, the 7900XT being in the last one... but I'm getting a 5080 tomorrow lol I'm not waiting 2 more months for maybe a 1-300usd savings for "5 - 8%" less perf. on a hope. Also being in canada... everyone saying 5080 meh 7900XTX / nitro better + good price. 5080's are going up for 1'450 CAD tomorrow with 1'700 AIB's, the 7900XTX's are ~2'400 here... I'll take 15% more for $700 less any day.
That chart is junk. It has the 4080 way above the 7900xtx lol. I don't think it was indicating performance, more about where they will be replacing cards
Imagine 9070XT is better than a 5070Ti in Raster and near 5080 in RT....Mindblowing!!! But obviously we are speculating too much. We need proof AMD. Please! RELEASE 9000 series NOW! 😀
What AMD needs is a competitive "RX8800/8080" - slightly slower than 9070, RDNA 4 architecture (AI/FSR dedicated chip), 256 bit, 12GB ddr7, two fans and under 270W for under 400USD!
In all honestly AMD has the absolute golden opportunity to make me regret buying a 4070S last year. It baffles me how they know where Intel's at but refuse to slot their cards just above that at the price bracket the grand majority of people buy GPUs at. Like all they need to do is make a no-brainer buy for one generation.
It's amazing how AMD CPU manages to surprise intel, went blow for blow, even beating them at some aspects (mainly efficiency). Yet ironically they went limp the moment nvidia came to scene.
I think its a good thing. Likely better optimisation, Lower prices. AND THEY WILL BE IN STOCK! though since the 5070 will be £529, the 9070XT has to be £499 + better at rasterization

For years I've stuck with AMD due to value. I don't care what will be the name - what matters are prices / performance/ features.
You’re from a tiny tiny fraction of the market share that AMD managed to capture (maybe 8% idk)
If AMD wants to capture market share and be competitive, they need to offer significantly more than what you’re accepting.
I think at minimum they need to offer a tier above performance for the same price / tier under pricing for the same performance.
That means 5070ti performance for 5070 price or 5070 performance for 4060ti price.
They might need to do even more than that to be honest..

@@untseac They have 20% VAT and their GPU pricing is not much different than for eg Germany pricing. Usually less than 20Euro difference in any. So it would mean $750 + sales tax in US.
Why does AMD have to rush it when they clearly don't have their shit together? It's much better if they wait instead of releasing a buggy GPU with buggy software and support. But they clearly panicked for a sec when Nvidia came out with all their frame-gen BS. But then, despite a no-show in the CES, waiting for people to call Nvidia on their BS as reviews for the 5090/5080 started to show up was a better strategy than showing real numbers against Nvidia absurd numbers and also losing. A lot of the headlines wouldn't wait for actual product comparison and they would only care to compare the charts from the presentation. I don't think AMD had a lot of options to deal with that, it was a lose-lose situation.
So I would ask Coretks, what would you do if you were in AMD's place? Just saying they lost is way too easier than having a solution. And I'm not even an AMD defensor or buyer, I just thought it was a bit unreasonable giving the situation, everybody can complain and kick someone on the ground, I liked more older videos with less complain and more insights about hardware rather than the market takes, which are usually quite obtuse. But I agree, AMD was full of shit with their excuses and indeed they should be more disruptive and price it on their own. On the bright side, they will be forced to price the 9070 lower than if that was a 9080 that would lose to the 5080, isn't it better that it will be priced lower and possibly beat the 5070Ti then?
I agree that AMD should not focus on fake frame gen but I don't agree that AMD should put FSR4 as a side note, it got a lot of positive reviews as their prerelease obscure lab FSR in CES. They should indeed focus on their raster punching above its weight class, but they obviously have to show their new AI-based upscaling model with its improvements over its predecessor. Why the heck would they present that as just a side note?? That would be a awful marketing decision - even more since that was the only positive AMD received during CES.
Until AMD actually decides to be as aggressive in the GPU market as they are in the CPU and APU market, they will always lose, and this is coming from a person that loves AMD and has only owned AMD GPUs, I have never owned Nvidia, as long as AMD keeps playing catch up in the GPU market they will always automatically give the win by default to Nvidia and Nvidia will keep having most of the gaming market share, I want AMD to finally grow some balls in the GPU space, be aggressive and finally get a win, but as long as they keep playing stupid games they won't
Bc there is a midrange vacuume they can monopolize on for a month and reclaim market share which they need desperately
He answers that at the end of the video
The way they were so low key on FSR4 tells me it's NOT ready, the way cards have been sitting on retailers' backroom shelves for a month tells me drivers are not ready, and the fact we've heard zilch on RT outside of leaks is concerning as well. AMD leaks are _always_ heavily optimistic and none of this looks good. Being taken aback by Nvidia pricing wouldn't postpone launch by THAT long. You can do a price change in literal days. There's something wrong that they aren't telling us. What they NEED to do is be open and honest with the consumer, and no one feels that from Radeon division right now.

Honestly, my 7900 XTX has been an excellent GPU. A bit on the power-hungry side, but at a 355w TDP it was a massive leap over my previous 200w 3060 Ti. And while it lacks the RT performance in some titles that Nvidia has, the sheer raster performance & abundance of VRAM for ~$875 (at least that’s what I paid for the ASRock Phantom OC model) is hard to beat. Even if the 9070 XT is *only* able to match that performance, I could still see it being a successful GPU if it indeed has the claimed “40% improvement” in RT & a TDP under 300w. The only downside is the 16GB GDDR6; I would’ve liked to have seen 20GB at the very least. That way cards like the 7900 XT won’t ironically age better at higher resolutions, due to having the extra VRAM that will (inevitably) become more relevant as newer titles continue to be more demanding like they have in the last 3-4 years.
You don't need more than 16GB of VRAM for gaming, that's more than plenty.
I've got an RTX 3080 10GB model and have never had a single problem with VRAM.
If you are encountering issues, either:-
i) The game is not optimised
ii) You are experiencing a memory leak elsewhere in your system
Interestingly, I've watched a lot of gaming benchmark channels and the thing I've noticed is that if you have two card of similar baseline performance and one has more VRAM packed than the other, for some reason the card with the higher VRAM is overcommitted when exactly the same settings are being used for the games. Basically the more you have, is the more the games pulls, just because.
I think this whole VRAM fad is a psychological and financial trap for a lot of gamers.
The number one rule is making sure your card is designed to run games at the recommended specs. You wouldn't obviously use an 8GB card if you're planning on running 4K, or really high textures and effects.
Cut your clothes according to your cloth, but 16GB should be more than enough.

I'm done keeping up with PC gaming. Almost all AAA games are trash anyway. We have so much raster performance alone on 3000 and 4000 generation Nvidia RTX cards that there's no reason to buy new. I have stopped buying new since I bought a GTX 970 when Nvidia screwed us on the 3.5GB/4GB RAM drama (I got a payout on from the class action lawsuit). My next card was a used GTX 1080Ti for $450. Next, I bought a used RTX 3080 for $450 on eBay early last year. I may consider a used 3090 24GB when it hits similar prices because running local LLMs is more interesting these days.
just get a used 4080 Super in a year or so. But I agree. Pascal was the last great one. my 1070ti Lasted me YEARS. the 3060 i had to get to replace it due to optimisation and DLSS last year for £270 just isnt hitting the mark. But the 4060 is worse as i play 1440p. due to its 8gb of VRAM and cut bus.
Was hopeful for a 5070 but seeing it be a 128bit bus and 12GB of VRAM. its actually got worse specs than my RTX3060. granted it will be better but wont last long with the BUS and VRAM allocation to it.
£400 should get you a MINIMUM 192bit bus and 16gb VRAM.

Now making "90" class cards has cut the REST OF THE ENTIRE STACK.
Making bus and VRAM counts drop for 80/70/60 cards.
90 cards should of never existed but carried on being expensive titans. the fact they decided to milk us the gamers says a lot.
now you get a 5070 and its got a MINISCULE BUS and same RAM as a 3060. and there will be likely 3/4 stacks above the 5070ti as the 80/80ti/90/Rumours of a 90TI.
Rumour has it Lisa Su is not happy that Radeon is taking up so many wafers (desktop GPUs) and was behind the decision to delay (source MLID). If so, this will backfire doubly: if AMD sells this at 800 and it is actually near 5080 performance, they might have to produce a lot more than they estimated. Even more wafers that Lisa wanted for AI stuff.
Did you always have this lisp? Or have I switched timelines again in my sleep?
As someone who is potentially looking at getting a 9070xt, the leaks of 2.5x better RT performance and the showcasing of FSR 4 (Which was fantastic) shouldn't be understated. They should target raster performance as the main deal but FSR 4 and RT Performance will be much better than previous iterations.
I wanna try RT on Diablo 4 and don't like nshitia.
It allllll comes down to pricing.
Pricing is striking a balance between maximising profit margins, and offering a good value proposition.
And them delaying the release is making me think they want to wait to see 5070 performance and adjust their prices closer to NVIDIA’s price/performance to not miss on profit margins.
AMD never failed because they didn’t price their cards with enough profit margins.
They always failed because they didn’t offer enough value.
@salemgiath8150 yes but apart of that value will be improving RT performance from essentially doesn't work to equal to 4070ti RT.
"Actual 70s class prices" $650 and $550. 🤣😂
This "new normal" is a bunch of BS. A few generations and they domesticated you nicely.
Just buy used and stick it to both of 'em !
AMD has a long history of botching their launches and their marketing sucks. Are they so insulated in their bubble that they still haven't caught on?
All that matters now is 5070 vs 9070 and 5070ti vs 9070XT.
If AMD matches the price equal to that of Nvidia here, i swear 9070 and 9070XT will sell like hotcakes. People are already fed up of the lies from Nvidia(5070 = 4090 perf). The 7900 GRE has won tons of fans as well, so there are a good number of people that will absolutely buy AMD if and only IF AMD don't raise the price of these 9070 and 9070XT cards to 80 class prices.
No no it wont. The vast majority of cards are sold to normal non tech ppl. Mostly they dont know AMD. They are told by their "tech friend" to get the Nvidia card because "its just better"
If AMD wants to gain market share they cant rely on marketing. "AMD has terrible marketing, we all know it." They must rely on Price. If they get great perf at great price ONLY THEN can they start to turn around the Image of AMD GPU's.
Until they can turn around the marketing blunders of the last 15 years, they will not gain much if any market share.
I prefer AMD. I hate Nvidia's "practices," but this is just reality.
You take a 7900. Move som numbers around and you'll have a 9070.
One of my favorite cards was a 9600 that I bios flashed into a 9600 pro. I'm glad to see I am old enough for naming schemes to start repeating.
eXacTly
Simple story is that Lisa Sue is completely focused on CPUs since forever and had no problem to canibalize income from GPU division to supply CPU part of AMD with money. But now when their CPUs are rocking she is unwilling not only to supply GPU division with CPU money but to even get less than 50% margins. And on top of it they even give full pricing control to AIBs and retail.
I think the biggest mistake was dividing the gpu division in tattoo, separate architectures with r d n a and c d n a .
The c d n a overperforms and is bringing money hand over fist while r d n a is stumbling.
She's basically announced that both those teams are remerging,
As well as the architecture so that the new gaming cards can be used in enterprise as well if it doesn't sell as well in gaming.
What that means is the future radion division is gonna make a lot of money but it also means gamers are going to be left behind because a m d's two k flagship.We'll have almost no stock, just like nvidia.Because all the a I bros are gonna buy it
Uhm, That is not at all what the AMD Income/Expense statements say.
AMD's Problem is 1 thing. Marketing. When you compare AMD marketing to Nvidia marketing. It is like a child verses the world Chess pro. Its not in the same league.
@@dralord1307 Sorry but you overcomplicate it. Solution is easy and AMD used it with Ryzen. New family of new products, weaker than competition but way less expensive, 2nd gen somewhat parity with competition but on the weaker side still way cheaper, 3rd gen parity on the storng side and similar prices yet still little cheaper than competition, 4th gen superiority in performance and parity in price. They did it, they know how to do it. But it requires 3 gens of lower margins. And Lisa Sue gets wet when she thinks about CPUs so she was willing to do it with Ryzen. She is dry like Sahara when she thinks about GPUs and this is why she is not willing to do the same. When price is shit, there is no performance and features parity on top of it there is no amount of marketing magic you can use to make this into success product. And under Lisa this is exactly what happens to GPUs.
Why do you need the sexual attacks against lisa? You got a fetish?
Uhm A company is required by law to do everything they can to make their shareholders money. If they knowingly dont they can get sued. They can also get voted out by the board.
3 gens so your looking at around 10 years. Thats simply too long in the corp world. That means they would have had to start on that plan 5 years ago. To be able to bring out the first gen this time. That simply isnt in their plan.
Your plan is the one that seems vastly overcomplicated. AMD messed up something in their MCM setup. Thats why the 7k series high end didnt deliver how they wanted, it is probably why the high end this time is canceled. So they made a plan to use their single chips as best they could. Right now they just need to get the marketing/pricing strategy right. They heard Nvidia was doing something crazy and decided to take time to recalculate.
2 months with Nvidia having Very little stock isnt going to hurt AMD
when I can get something 50% faster than my 6800 for $500ish I'll buy it. I might even buy 2 or 3 and upgrade several computers.
Depending on what AMD Price the 9070XT as, this may not have been a mistake but an INTENTIONAL BLUNDER! I mean, think about it. People have always been saying that in order for AMD to compete with Nvidia that they have to sell a similiar tier card for a much lower price to gain mindshare and market share. Well if this card is a 5080 competitor that they will sell for $499.99($549.99 is the price of the 5070 and AMD normally cuts $50 off from NVidia) Than AMD just achieved that. What if the reason why AMD didn't sell there cards at much lower margins is because there share holders or somebody in charge wouldn't allow it? This "Blunder" might've made them circumnavigate the whole thing.
$650 is still way to high for the 9070xt. It needs to be sub $500 if they want market share. Releasing something that's barely faster than a 5070ti with worse ray tracing for a slight price cut wont do it. And before someone says who cares about ray tracing look at all the major releases. They are all coming out with rt turned on and you can't disable it.
What major releases, assassin's creed ?
Doubt it. Some of the 7900xt are still in that range.
@onomatopoeia162003 then you buy a 5070ti every time. Oh well. No market share for amd.
And suppose it competes with a 4080 and super variants (which the 70ti can’t, it’s even more cut down than the 5080 which has little improvement).
What then?
If it’s trading blows with an 80 class card, for cheaper, what happens then?
@@onomatopoeia162003 And the 7900xt is how many years old? The 9070XT needs to be £/$450 and the non-xt £/$399 - I can buy 7900 GREs used for £400.
So AMD trying to match up to Nvidia's pricing scheme and milk consumers, and Nvidia re-skining a 60 class card, has led to a situation where gamers might actually get some value from a card but the optics of the situation are even more negative than if AMD had just milked consumers. 🤔😅
Bring the RX 9070XT at $ 699 with rtx 4080S performance, Im all in!!
Time traveler here. 7900 XT raster performance for $649, DOA.
Lil' hate for AMD huh? I'm leaning team Red if the pricing is right. NoVIdia's pricing is certainly not right.
I think it will do very well at $599. Would absolutely dominate at $549 but I think they'll price it as high as they can. $599 is the highest price that makes sense. If its $649 it puts its self right in the middle where people will either pay less for the 5070 or pay more for the 5070ti, that would be a terrible price lol
12:20 AMD didn't expect the nvidia will cut so much the chip on 5080.. now 9070xt has to priced as a 70 class card
Why
Competition is healthy, but the whole point is to see who can offer better value. Value is not simply compared to by name alone, we've wisened up to that kind of bs; benchmark and endurance will show the proof.
Actually I see this as an opportunity for AMD:
1) AMD GPUs were meant to beat 70 series but now they beat 80 series
2) AMD planned to make them 70 class hence they had pricing in mind for 70 class i.e. 500-700USD range based on 4070 ti/super as reference
3) Now actually Nvidia is stuck as competitor has 70 series which beats their 80 series making a good PR for AMD
4) While AMD might not make good earnings on these cards but they already expected this generation to be market establishment rather than profit making generation and being giant now they can absorb losses to keep foothold in Gaming which paves way to AI GPUs as gaming industry is a PR for AI companies to buy GPUs from, which Nvidia forgot and will pay heavy price when Gamers denounce Nvidia and favour Intel and AMD for being gamers friendly companies
Indeed, the strategy of calling the 80 ti a 90, then halving it and calling that an 80 is just taking the micky.
8 lane 60 cards are a dead giveaway.
the 5090 is 750mm they weren't calling it an 80 anything ever and setting price expectations at or below the 4090, zero chance, never happening.

She really pulled the c p u division up, but I think she's focusing on the g p u division now
Hoping the 9070 performs better than 4080S and matches or beats the 7900XTX while using 275-320W instead of 380W, and launches at $549-599. Basically 5080 performance for $600 would be insane!
If I was AMD, and I saw those 5080 reviews, I would be launching those 9070XT's immediately now. before the 5070Ti and 5070... and put the 9070XT at 500 or 450$.
🤣 Yeah well with you as a CEO this company would be bankrupt already. Selling brand new 4080 equivalent class card for half the price, you are insane.
@DamianB82 you think that amd wouldn't make money at those prices? Don't forget that the 9070 is supposed to be a midrange gpu. That and a card like that, at that price would allow for amd to gain market share. That in turn creates the basis for more and better developer support which would create the opportunity to introduce a next gen feature of their own.
That and it would disrupt the gpu market which means nvidia would be forced into a price cut. So the only negatively affected company in this whole scenario is nvidia. AMD comes out of it, even if they for some reason don't make money off of these gpus, much better than they went in.
@@svenweyers3916They might make the money, but there is a catch..
First of all investors are interested in margins so selling too cheap is not a good rule to follow. You have to balance the price to keep margins*volume to make profit. This ain't an easy task to figure out the sweet spot. They have to consider many variables to do that including their current line up in stores and competitors line up.
Then you add the fact that they are chasing Nvidia with sales, so even if they have similar performance, brand recognition is against them, thus they certainly need to somehow present better value to mitigate that.
Then there is concern about how to distribute wafer allocation vs CPUs at TSMC and so on.
They certainly got caught by Nvidia with their release, so now are scrambling their prices to find that selling sweet spot.
I mean im the customer myself and waiting for that release to get my GPU for myself, obviously I'd like to buy it for pennies, but I'm also realistic since I more or less know how their business works.

Highly disagree they shouldn't focus on Fsr4 (upscaling,not fake frames) they absolutely should since that's a big reason people won't touch an Amd card. Also at $649....that's too much . Putting it right between the 70 and 70ti would be foolish. The 9070xt might out perform it by 10% but it doesn't matter when you're coming from nvidia and used to their features, people will either buy the weaker 5070 or pay a little more for the 5070ti just based on features and branding alone. $599 is the price it needs to be. 22% cheaper while beating it in raster by around 10% and being very similar in ray tracing. It could be close to a 30% price to performance win for the 9070xt. That's what needs to be done for marketshare, they absolutely do need to show off their upscaling improvements and RT performance. What they need to do is NOT show fake frame comparisons, that's what i agree on. It will be taking a dig at nvidia which will make Amd look better, they can announce improved frame generation but don't have bullshit charts like nvidia did lol. $599 is the key for success imo
Honestly glad about it, If AMD had kept calling it 8800xt and charged $1000 for it, it would be DOA, literally would be the most irrelevant card of the decade. At least maybe they will gain some market share once people realize AMD is again the value king like they were with the Vega 56 and 5700xt. Assuming of course AMD is sane and charge less than $600 for 9070 XT.

Hmm if 9070XT is actually faster than my 7900XTX I might be tempted to side grade for better RT and FSR 🤔🤔
Same. If it is a little faster in terms of FPS in actual games, and the price is a little lower or the same, 9the 070 XT seems to be the clear choice.
@CharlesOffdensen The question is, how much I would have to add to that 9070XT also going back to 16GB Vram will be a little iffy 😅😂
What's the problem, exactly? Gamers already had decided to buy 4060 over 7600, 4070 over 7700, 4080 over 7900xtx... Now gamers will get what they wanted. An 80 class card for 70 class pricing, and all the way down the stack. In the end if it doesn't sell then AMD will know that no strategy was the correct one.
then they will seriously think of just shutting down radeon and going with apu's instead.
His argument is pure idiot fantasy anyway. AMD didn't get 3d gigabrained to rename their cards by Jensen. The gpu prices are set the by TSMC process node prices. 350mm of 5nm is going to $500-$600 regardless of whether AMD calls it a 9070xt or a 8800xt, and its not competing with a $550 5070 its competing with a $750 5070ti that, guess what matches its naming scheme and die size.
The renaming was necessary because they became screwed up between 6000 the 7000 series going from 1:1 parity to where the 800 was suddenly competing with the 4070 on price and performance, 900 with 70ti, and 900xtx with 4080. Resetting it is just basic marketing due diligence and it was making their cards look like crap.
The problem is AMD fcked up naming and pricing. 7900xtx should've been the 7800xt for $799 with 20GB VRAM and it would've crushed Nvidia's 80 class cards. Solid 50% uplift over 6800xt with + 4GB VRAM. 7900xt should've been Rx 7800 with 16GB VRAM at $699 and bury the 4070ti class in dirt. But they upped naming by 3 tiers and shot themselves in the foot. RDNA 4 could've easily slotted in at 8700xt and 8700. But no. AMD got greedy with shitty RT and FSR 3.Asshole and shot themselves in the foot. Now they'll hope FSR4 will allow them to repeat the same thing again. Undercut 5070ti by 10% and no one will buy their cards again.
@@bilalfouzi507 They are slotting it in as 70 class, what is your gripe even. Its going to undercut 70ti by 20-27%. In a year no one is going to care they delayed it 2 months or remember ces at all.

If what is being proposed here at Coretek turns out to be true. Then AMD might accidentally fall into actually gaining real market share. The entire Blackwell lineup would be priced out and rendered dead on arrival. The fake frame generation gimmick did not move the needle.

Called it the first time rumours of "mid-range only RDNA4": it will be mid-range in performance, top-end in price.

The retailers already have the cards in stock and were supposed to sell them. Radeon even had an announcement post saying the cards already launched. AMD is always f'ing up.
it's all about strategy. AMD is just waiting to finish all the move of NVIDIA. like waiting for the right moment to counter.
when it comes to 5080 its a flop and there is no point of waiting to 5070 and 5070 ti.
just my opinion.
BTW .... I don't care, *I will NEVER EVER buy an Nvidia GPU !* They can go to hell for my part !
Is this going to be better than my ryzen3-2200U?
To be honest my morrowind runs just fine as is. I wouldn't expect much improvement.
No
AMD to secretly launch 9070, 9080 and 9090's to kill Nvidia and all the news about only budget cards was bs! How I wish haha.
If that was true ❤😂🎉 but nah
This is a brilliant marketing ploy. "Oops, we drastically outperform our competitor at lower prices. What ever shall we do?" /*sound of units flying out the door*/
Well I think if Nvidia was "jebating" AMD with the 5070 actually being sold as 5080, that IMHO is good for AMD. Because the benchmarks always make AMD cards look like the worse in head-to-head pairings. Of course they now have to worry about the pricing, if they will sell an 80-class card at 70-class price. But actually, the prices have been skyrocketing so much that the even todays 60-class cards are sold at past's 80-class cards prices. Remains to be seen what the performance of the 9070 will be, though. (What I find more stupid by AMD is to copy-cat the exact naming scheme, but going to a dead-end with jumping to 90x0 - why didn't they pick up 70x0 or at least 80x0?!)
AMD never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
Enough of this crap
amd take the time and show us your best, it could suck, but it might be good. see ya in march.
red devil was never a starting point card. It's a top end card. Even then - that means $699 would have been around the MSRP price so they're probably actually thinking oh crap if Nvidia is charging 999 but in reality it's 1199 because there are no MSRP AIB cards - AMD is thinking $899 is the new MSRP!
raster include rt ? or you say that rt doesnt need to be?
They should have released 9070 being 5080 competitors for low prices, they would sell VERY well.
amd can delay but they should not delay more than their target to kill, other wise it is just giveaway market share.
AMD got themselves all over this time, but they better get their heads in place and release what they got. I hope Intel to bring something as well, please let's have an interesting 2025.
The 5080, and 4080 are both 70 class cards, the 7800xt is even smaller technically under the 350mm arbetrary cut off for 60/70 designation.
so basically nvidia are grimy and manipulative AF and amd has the opportunity to take the gaming market while nvidia goes after the ai market but amds leadership are a buncha dummies?
yep, so Intel swoops in and gets a W by doing nothing.
We're gonna be dead wrong on the 9070xt performance, he said that about benchmarks that released prior to ces,
The benchmarks after c e s puts the 9070xt at slower than a 7900xtx in raster
Yeah it's definitely not beating the xtx. If anything it will be 5% behind it. At least in raster. It should still be pretty close to the 4080 in a lot of games though. But its definitely not going to be 8% behind the 5080 lol maybe 15-20% at best. Which is still amazing if they price it at $599 which would make it 50% cheaper
The 5080 is an 80 class card - it's just severely underpowered this time around. The only 70 class card is the 70 Ti and the '5070' is actually a 5060. It's the memory subsystem that lines up the tiers. 70 and 80 are 256-bit or higher and the 60 class is 192-bit or higher.
I get what you were saying and I don’t 100% disagree with your points. But for all the CES shows in recent history you had AMD launching new GPU’s alongside Nvidia then almost immediately people stopped talking about AMD, the hype totally dissipated and people gave most of the mind share to Nvidia.
It’s clear that doing GPU reveals and launches as the same time as Nvidia isn’t working, there are other reasons also besides this was AMD’s gaming market share keeps dropping year over year versus Nvidia.
So they are trying something new, keeping their reveal and launches totally separate. It’s a risky move because if their graphics cards and extremely competitive in terms of performance and price they are going to get smoked.
AMD’s marketing department will be more important now in building hype ahead of the release than ever before. I totally agree that all the focus needs to be around rasterization but the marketeers need to get the message across as to why this matters.
I think AMD is very safe in the console space for the foreseeable future. Neither Sony or Microsoft will jump ship to anyone else because of potential issues around backwards compatibility. Game libraries and preserving games are becoming more and more important to consumers and the big companies know this.
To be honest I think AMD knows that they can forget about the casual market, they need to focus on people who are reasonably technologically literate and are not focused on only buying Nvidia. They got burned very badly last time by rushing out multichip dies and they are not going to repeat the same thing any time soon by rushing.
My guess is Nvidia is prowling and waiting with their super refresh if rdna4 try to steal market. So rdna4 probably still screwed.
And in an alternate universe, Intel is the market leader, producing GPUs without fake frames. :)
It makes sense to prioritize the CPUs as they are matched with all GPUs
What prevents AMD to price 9070 as 80 class card if it will perform accordingly? Where is the awkwardness? This is a non existent problem. If 9070 is about as good as 5080 then AMD can sell it for 5070ti price for sure.
It will NOT be a 5080
But it almost certaintly wont preform at the 80 class level. Its been claimed to be a mid-range card and the leaks all but confirm a 5070-5070ti level gpu. Hell, the 5080 only barely beats the 7900xtx, and you want AMDs next gen mid range option to top that? Very very unlikely. Atleast in raster, who knows what frame gen and FSR4 can do.
@ We will see how it plays out. I said IF it will have 80 class performance. If not then not ;)
@@gavinferguson2938leaks shows that rx 9070 xt will have raster peformance to rtx 4080 and ray tracing same as rtx 4070 ti super.
Sure they could... but then they will remain at 10-15% market share. If they have ANY interest in growing market and mind-share they need to price much better than that.
I am not sure they are interested in growing their market share though so they may well fail at pricing yet again.
Microcenter has under 250 AIB 5090 GPUs NATIONWIDE. The 9070XT will have abysmal performance in comparison. Garbage at even $499.
like they said for years, AMD never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity...
There's no new info here really. The same stuff that been talked about for weeks now. it seems tech channel are just making videos as a vehicle for ad placement really.
"Offering value and disrupting the market" is exactly what they did with 1st gen RYZEN. Offered generally more for less money than Intel (except gaming). Repeat the playbook for NVIDIA. If raytracing is 30% slower then raster has to be 30% better. Also, the lack of features and worse anti-aliasing have to be accounted for in pricing. At least 30% cheaper than rough equivalent of NVIDIA to sell anywhere near good.
Worst hype I seen for RDNA4.
9070 XT aka 8700 XT, it will be midrange card to compete against the RTX 5070 and if its not priced at least $499 it will flop.
/discussion
I farted
That's a big if, cause if the 9070XT only ends up been close enough to the 5070Ti or 4070 Ti Super, Then AMD Fucked up by not going High End with a 9080XT and or 9090XT Specially with RT and more developers going Unreal Engine 5 automatically giving Nvidia the Advantage, thus the saying, AMD never mises the Opportunity to miss a Opportunity holds 100% true at least when it comes to the GPU business side of things.
AMD should not chase after the same nomenclature as Nvidia. Whoever at marketing pitched that needs to be laid off because it makes no sense to me to call your stuff the "9070" when the 8800 XT gives off more name recognition and distinction for AMD's stuff.
Also to 16:37 I'm sorry but you cannot expect the industry to be hard focus on pure rasterization going forward. I honestly would like to see what they've been working on relative to the AI/Neural rendering stuff as it could pertain to potential VRAM optimizations for the new hardware
stupid decisions? this could be thing that gets AMD actually in the GPU game with extremely competitive pricing
The recent DeepSeek AI which slashed $600 billion off of Nvidia's stock valuation, gives AMD the chance to enter the new cheaper AI race in a bigger way than before! Get those newer GPU's out AMD, this may be your best chance to equalize with Nvidia.
So that chart chowing 9070XT at 7900XT projected performance from AMD slides was a jebait? Not buying it.
It’ll probably be slower
yeah... when a company announces they are going to go sideways rather than improve, and rename to 'match' their expectations, then needs 2 extra months to panic code, I'm not buying that they somehow squeeze out an extra 15-20% performance without changing hardware - if a card is designed and ready for release with a certain spec / is tested and found that X values are 'best'... it doesn't inspire confidence in longevity or stability to be all "we were going to release a card that only ran at 80%, had to have that safety margin in there for some reason but not any more, just let me mess with the code so it can push past what we determined it needed to be set to real quick..."
I've never owned an nvidia card, from the Radeon 9800Pro up to the 3xRX580 I've got now,. Have built systems for family and friends, the 7900XT being in the last one... but I'm getting a 5080 tomorrow lol I'm not waiting 2 more months for maybe a 1-300usd savings for "5 - 8%" less perf. on a hope.
Also being in canada... everyone saying 5080 meh 7900XTX / nitro better + good price. 5080's are going up for 1'450 CAD tomorrow with 1'700 AIB's, the 7900XTX's are ~2'400 here... I'll take 15% more for $700 less any day.
@@Azmodoninfo source for "panic coding" comment?
Wait ‘till release to see if it was or wasn’t
That chart is junk. It has the 4080 way above the 7900xtx lol. I don't think it was indicating performance, more about where they will be replacing cards
If you only follow your competitors, you're always one step behind.
Why do you call it 70 900? Isn't it a 7-900 or a 7 thousand-900, I was just wondering because english is not my first language.
Really a stupid shit-show…but if we really get a 80-class performing card for the price of a 70-class card I’m very thankful for their stupidity…😂😂😂
Imagine 9070XT is better than a 5070Ti in Raster and near 5080 in RT....Mindblowing!!!
But obviously we are speculating too much. We need proof AMD. Please! RELEASE 9000 series NOW! 😀
Why do I feel like I'm watching Alex's Jones brother?
A max $800 9070 XT that performs at near RTX 5080 raster would be a HUGE W for AMD.
What AMD needs is a competitive "RX8800/8080" - slightly slower than 9070, RDNA 4 architecture (AI/FSR dedicated chip), 256 bit, 12GB ddr7, two fans and under 270W for under 400USD!
In all honestly AMD has the absolute golden opportunity to make me regret buying a 4070S last year. It baffles me how they know where Intel's at but refuse to slot their cards just above that at the price bracket the grand majority of people buy GPUs at. Like all they need to do is make a no-brainer buy for one generation.
DLSS4 is just a DLC pack for $1000
Did someone made analisys of this chanell ? Like bab vanga what di he get good or wrong?
It's amazing how AMD CPU manages to surprise intel, went blow for blow, even beating them at some aspects (mainly efficiency). Yet ironically they went limp the moment nvidia came to scene.
I think its a good thing. Likely better optimisation, Lower prices. AND THEY WILL BE IN STOCK! though since the 5070 will be £529, the 9070XT has to be £499 + better at rasterization
