I was under the impression the 9070XT would trade blows with the 5070 TI, not the 5080. Wasn't the whole point of AMD changing their naming scheme to match that of Nvidia's?
Yes. But nVidia changed the playing field on them so now AMD's 9070's competed against the 5080 & 5070 Ti whereas before the 8800XT competed against the 4070Ti. nVidia dropped the 4070 waaaaaay down in performance
What will the 9070 XT be priced at? If i have to guess it will be 600 USD for it, and 500 for the non-xt. Is this the correct guess?
Surely not as AMD never fails to disappoint about GPUs.
