AMD is Taking Time with Radeon RX 9000 to Optimize Software and FSR 4

If pricing is good enough it should sell fine if it's not it can rot on store shelves I could care less.

The narrative that Nvidia does not compete because they don't have competition is asinine. They aren't selling the 5070 unexpectedly lower out of the goodness of their hearts for gamers because they believe the common man (lol) should have conceptual (lol) 4090 performance. It was lowered because the 9070 is a formidable opponent and AMD's strategy is to hit the "70 class" GPU segment as hard as they can since they are not offering an "80" class GPU. My theory on that has to do with UDNA possibly coming out quicker than expected. Summer 2026 UDNA is actually very well possible.

Vote with your wallets however you see fit. Corporations aren't doing any of us favors for our sake.

Since they decided to go this route now they HAVE TO make this launch perfect. If this launch is not perfect and if there are bugs this will put them in a worse spot than just releasing the card today.

Unless AMD either shifts priorities from CPU's being the focus to GPU's and/or Intel join forces in GPU segment we're not getting serious competition against Nvidia in any hurry. I think the path AMD has taken has still been positive for lower end and mid range that's needed the competition more, but Nvidia being backhanded isn't helping AMD any in regaining market share back. Instead AMD and Intel competing against each in GPU market they could join forces and competing more competently against Nvidia. If they don't want to they can continue to knee cap each other while Nvidia watches and laughs.

Amd are there own worst enemy as fsr and upscaling techniques are not required if you use the correct resolution. i still to this day use 720p except its now running at 120 htz on a stupid fast gpu that never exceeds 50% usage amd never goes above 60 degrees.
i challenge anyone here to run any game ,,at 720p at 120htz and only 30 fps max and see if you can tell the difference between this and max fps.
If you csn you have a bad display and you should use a qled screen.

720p? Did you travel here from 2001?

Of course you can see that.

Nvidia caught wind of the performance and price of the 9070xt and preemptively lowered the price to $550

It is obvious that there are more Nvidia users than AMD users. Why AMD users feel the need to shout from every mountain top about how good they are.. Nvidia users have eyes.

This whole back and forth between AMD/Nvidia is getting really old now.

It is just hardware. Use what you like. Be helpful, not opinionated. If you cant help, then I am sure you can figure out what to do next.

It’s the same handful of people thread crapping AMD news posts with the same stuff over and over. Yet here you are again calling out “AMD users” who are responding to the baiting and thread crapping.

You’re quickly becoming a broken record, and on top of that go on to suggest if you have nothing helpful to say, then don’t. Yet here you are…

Don't count your chickens before they hatch!. Don't call yourself a software company, and then embarrass yourself with the shame of incompetence.
But my guess, is that this "delay" is not only due to drivers and FSR4, but mostly because AMD wants to wait for nVidia to release their cards, in order to "glue" the prices to whatever rival products.

Let’s just ignore that NV already put the base 4070 to 550 with the release of the Super model and, judging by the projected performance, the 5070 is definitely created as a successor to said base model more so than the Super. No, it’s definitely that NV was scared of a competitor that hasn’t been a threat for many generations now releasing a new card in the market segment NV traditionally has on lock.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 preorders to start on March 23 according to major US retailer​

Nvidia is the technology leader of the world today scared of what exactly!!? RTX 5070 is a chess move corner them and control the high end part of the market and hike up those prices to whatever they want milk them for. I think what we'll see is fewer and fewer SKU's from AMD and possibly Intel as well as Nvidia continues it's dominance. It's pretty much a free reign monopoly for Nvidia. They can compete just not above this threshold bar.

I think they delayed because they needed to change the pricing and have games that actually support FSR4 because FSR4 is not backwards compatible with their older cards. The new DLSS 4.0 will be backported to 20xx, 30xx, and 40xx cards because they are doing DLSS 4.0 differently than DLSS 3.x, which required the special hardware in the 40xx series of cards.

"our AI performance and image tools are just as good, but look at how affordable and nice our products are in comparison"

But they tried that before, but their AI performance and FSR is nowhere as good. FSR was just a "oh shit we need something" tech once DLSS 1.0 came out. FSR 1.0 didn't even come out till DLSS 2.0 was out and it was just a image scaling tech, take a lower res image and blow it up to whatever res. The result was a blurry pile of crap that required "sharping" to fix.

The only people I see crapping in threads are the AMD cheerleaders who cant fathom any reason anyone would not be super positive for AMD other than them being nVidiots who were never going to buy AMD anyway. Often posted responding to people WITH AMD HARDWARE.

He wont give you one, since you own a 4060ti:

I started to filter out his posts and the 4060ti owners. They turn the AMD threads into "well I had a radeon but DLSS is god, and eh... why buy AMD bro" " they should sell at a loss bro" - essentially.
