AMD Radeon 9070 XT Rumored to Outpace RTX 5070 Ti by Almost 15%
It would be fair to say that the GeForce RTX 5080 has been quite disappointing, being roughly 16% faster in gaming than the RTX 4080 Super. Unsurprisingly, this gives AMD a lot of opportunity to offer excellent price-to-performance with its upcoming RDNA 4 GPUs, considering that the RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti aren't really expected to pull off any miracles. According to a recent tidbit shared by the renowned leaker Moore's Law is Dead, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is expected to be around 3% faster than the RTX 4080, if AMD's internal performance goals are anything to go by. MLID also notes that RDNA 4's performance is improving by roughly around 1% each month, which makes it quite likely that the RDNA 4 cards will exceed the targets.
If it does turn out that way, the Radeon RX 9070 XT, according to MLID, should be roughly around 15% faster than its competitor from the Green Camp, the RTX 5070 Ti, and roughly match the RTX 4080 Super in gaming performance. The Radeon RX 9070, on the other hand, is expected to be around 12% faster than the RTX 5070. Of course, these performance improvements are limited to rasterization performance, and when ray tracing is brought to the scene, the performance improvements are expected to be substantially more modest, as per tradition. Citing our data for Cyberpunk 4K with RT, MLID stated that his sources indicate that the RX 9070 XT falls somewhere between the RTX 4070 Ti Super and RTX 3090 Ti, whereas the RX 9070 should likely trade blows with the RTX 4070 Super. Considering AMD's track record with ray tracing, this sure does sound quite enticing.
Of course, it will all boil down to pricing once the RDNA 4 cards hit the scene. If AMD does manage to undercut its competitors from NVIDIA by a reasonable margin, there is no doubt that RDNA 4 will be the better choice for most people. However, with NVIDIA's undeniable lead in ray tracing, paired with DLSS 4, will presumably make things more complicated than ever before. It is unclear what AMD has up its sleeve with FSR 4. Recent rumors do point at pretty good compatibility, but as with all rumors, be sure to accept any pre-release whispers with a grain of salt.

AMD better not fuck this up. I am so sick of Nvidia doing nothing wrong for most of the population but those in the know see clearly that they are scamming assholes.
OPEN YOUR EYES YOU BLIND FUCKWITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your definition of AMD Fanboy seems to to be "anyone with a functioning brain".
All this does is perfectly illustrate why a product being "sold out" means essentially nothing, even in a "normal" launch scenario.
"Sold out" isn't a quantity indicator and gives you 0 information on how many sales there have actually been.
According to stock trackers, most models were never even were in stock to begin with and this demonstrates why using "sold out" in place of actual metrics is misleading. "Sold Out" doesn't even guarantee that a single product of that SKU sold, let alone the monumental success you seem to think those words means.
Don't tell me that you're basing your comparison on model name alone. You're surely more intelligent than that.
The only reason people aren't doing it in this case is because they don't want to admit we got a 40% performance / price increase within 1 gen.
"Super" is NOT another generation, not even a refresh. It's the same generation with slightly more cores.
Before posting false information, please read and compare the RDNA2 and RDNA3 specifications and read the architecture comparison. Thank you.
There's a single model listed for 1k, and it's unavailable.
NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Cards, Gaming Laptops, Desktop and Monitor - United States of America
1- Who's trying to buy a new graphic card: mostly gamers who need an upgrade, assuming the vast majority are people with a card from two gen ago (Rtx 30x0 and prior / Radeon 6x00 and prior)
2- What's the landscape for gamers?
[INDENT]- Prior gen didn't go down in price:[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2]- Nvidia RTX 4070 Super = cheapest is $737 on new egg[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2]- AMD 7800 XT = $479.99[/INDENT]
[INDENT]- New gen isn't available[/INDENT]
3- People don't like FSR 3.1 because it doesn't look good, especially now compared to the new DLSS 4
So you're left with two options:
[INDENT]
- You accept to feel like a giant green dildo got shoved up your a$$ and pay a minimum of $737 for an outdated, low-to-mid end graphic card from Nvidia
- You join the rebellion for the sake of dignity and wait March by praying the price will be right AND that FSR 4 will deliver
[/INDENT]Personally, I can afford the $1300 for a 5080 if it was, in fact, available. But these games Nvidia is playing are so disrespectful towards its consumers that, as a small business owner who also has customers, I would be too ashamed to condone. It's like they forgot what their mission is; to cater to their customers. The disdain is just too much for me to ignore. If they had three or four competitors, they would never treat us like that, never.
So I will wait for the Radeon, and stick with my 2070 SUPER, which still runs Stalker 2 at about 60/70 FPS minimum with all settings at max in HD.
Last gen, AMD did a 50% perf-to-price increase with the 7800 XT and 7900 XTX (compared to the 6700 XT and 6900 XT respectively), but people still call RDNA 3 a dud.
Still, where's the 40% you mentioned?
