AMD Radeon "RX 8800 XT" is Actually the RX 9070 XT?
It turns out that the Radeon RX 8800 XT, the top SKU in AMD's next generation gaming GPU series, is actually named the Radeon RX 9070 XT. European computer hardware retailer may have leaked the name, along with that of the Radeon RX 9070 (non-XT), ahead of its January 2025 reveal. The two cards appeared in the store's search filters, where it was screengrabbed by enthusiasts. The RX 9070 XT is what was supposed to be the RX 8800 XT; while the RX 9070 is the RX 8800. Extrapolating this, the series could include the RX 9060 series, the RX 9050 series, and the RX 9040 series, says All The Watts.
What prompted this change in nomenclature probably has to do with the company's decision to withdraw from the enthusiast segment of gaming GPUs. While the RX 9070 XT technically succeeds the RX 7800 XT, a performance-segment, 1440p-class SKU, the company wouldn't want its product stack to have a "void" left by the lack of an "RX 8900 series." The company also took the opportunity to skip the RX 8000 series altogether, which probably give it room to rebadge some SKUs from the RX 7000 series over to the RX 8000 series. The RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 are based on the "Navi 48" silicon, and implement the RDNA 4 graphics architecture.

I dont know about others, but looks good that way.Nvidia wont use this naming for long anymore, it will change something totaly different.Ultra stupid buy
i see it that way9070XT only 640Gb/s bandwith cant compete against 7900XTX 960.0 GB/s
Thats why naming is xx70XT (Not 8080/ or 9080)
Besides, if the price is right, I won't be disappointed. All I want is a decent midrange card for a decent price. Anything on top is just an extra.
As thanks he's sending me a signed 5060 8GB, but the name on the box has a strikethrough and they put the 'Slow AF, but your CPU has no IGP' sticker on it instead.Can I get some of what you are smoking there? Seems strong.
500,-
sub 300W
and perf of the 7900XTX
Basically you want a 7800XT price, 7900XT undervolted TDP, double RT performance, and RTX 4080 raster perf. Should I reiterate the 4080's MSRP was 1199,-?
Maybe they'll make one on Mars?If not sarcasm... :D Yeah totally, because a 7840 could realistically be Ryzen 7 or 9 which in turn stands for.... euhhh what exactly? The 0 is even funnier. 'Feature isolation' but only *if needed. Like what the actual fuck is that supposed to mean? its there, but only if necessary... and what makes it necessary? Whether Lisa Su had a big poop this morning or not?
