AMD RDNA4 potential product value

[RobertR1]

It’s priced to give consumers the view that you’re getting 5070ti performance for 5070 pricing.

When the 5070 reviews drop and it’s much slower than the 9700xt, they look like saviours of sorts.

This all hinges on following through on msrp.

You are getting near 5070ti performance in a single metric of performance. This metric was a much larger percentage of the pie in RDNA 2 days, but has continued to decrease as other areas become more heavily utilized. Also, it hasn't always been -$50. Different perf tiers would have different savings amounts.

One case for the 9070 at MSRP is mine (unfortunately). The only relatively modern PC I have that could take a modern GPU upgrade is in a Micro ATX case that can only accommodate a smaller card. I'd happily spend the extra $50 MSRP if I could get a 9070xt that would fit in my case, but since I can't the smaller card and lower TDP are selling points.

It doesn't feel good, but it is what it is.

Did the Powercolor 9070XT Reaper not fit? It's proper 2 slot (width and height) and locally for me was the cheapest card by some margin. I didn't buy it because I wanted something a bit larger and quieter.

I managed to nab a Sapphire Pulse 9070XT for a not so great $1299 AUD. I was looking for a Powercolor Hellhound for $1239 but it sold quick at all 3 stores I was on. I could not consider the Powercolor Reddevil or any XFX models for the same $1299 because they're too big for my case. $1299AUD is not great, but Gigabyte and ASUS models started at $1349 and went up to $1449 so that's a hell of a lot worse. I honestly would prefer Sapphire to either of them, even if it's the Pulse model. This time around their Pulse model has a nicely mid sized cooler anyway, should be quiet enough.

Local MSRP of 5070ti here is $1509 and those models are obviously long gone, with the cheapest right now being $1899 for a Gigabyte windforce (should be MSRP model). So $600 more is a no deal. A 5070ti would be nice as it can do some path tracing and has better upscaling/reflex support but that's just too much money. $1299 for a card that will hopefully last me 2 years is ok enough.

Had a 2060 Super for the equivalent of $340 at the end of 2019, pass on it as I would have to replace my case. Covid and then crypto shock in 2020, I decided to look into a new case.

Had a 4060ti 16GB For $370 at the end of the 2023, passed on that because it couldn't fit my existing case. I decided to look into a new case.

I still have not replaced my case

There has been 5070ti's for 1630, I actually got one this week from scorptec. I had to jump on it before reviews of the 9070xt so was bit of a gamble but everything panned out about where I expected so is what it is. I gave it to my soon to be brother in law yesterday, I think his eyes lit up more over that than if I had gone with a stripper instead lol.

So I've ordered a Sapphire Nitro + 9070XT; that came to £707.94 after VAT and Delivery. I think it will be a worthy swap for the XFX 6900XT Merc I'm using at the moment.

Nice historical comparison of base reference cards compared to partner cards. Board partners have become absolutely insane and out of line.
