AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 pricing leak reveals enticing value to spice up competition in the mid-range segment

[Redaktion]

Gamers are eagerly awaiting the launch of AMD's RDNA 4 gaming GPUs: Radeon RX 9070, and RX 9070 XT. Leaked performance and pricing data have repeatedly hinted at a superior value proposition compared to Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070 family, justifying the surrounding excitement.

As expected, AMD fails to miss this next opportunity to compete against Nvidia's GPUs. Previous rumors have been $100 less.

Looks to me that AMD postponed the launch of the 9070 series cards to gauge how true and available the 5080/5090 were.  NVIDIA dropped the ball so now AMD are gonna over priced their cards by a few hundred dollars.

AMD needs to be a minimum of 20% cheaper than Nvidia for anyone to even bother. Maybe if 9070XT is 4080 Super levels in raster and RT or faster than 5070Ti it will do well at $599, but AIB are absurdly overpriced.

Only reason these will sell is because NVIDIA has no stock on shelves.

[Duopoly]

For this pricing, they should at the very least match the previous gen's 20-24GB vram, if not exceed it with 32GB-48GB.

16GB feels like an insult. Makes navi 31 actually look like a good deal now which it never was.

This duopoly needs government intervention to be broken up. Or else we're never gonna get decent prices back to normal.

An incompetent irrelevant 3rd player like intel is not the solution and will get us nowhere.

I'd say arm might save as but considering nobody in arm space capable of building a decent GPU besides licensing from the very same duopoly, it seems like a pretty grim state of affairs.
