AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series Event Scheduled: February 28

AMD has bought themselves a lot of rope. I don't doubt they'll find some way to hang themselves, but at least they'll look pretty while doing it.

The way they can screw up the launch is by going back on their word.

They've been talking about better mainstream cards at more popular price points. They suggested 7900XT performance for the price of a 7800XT

That might end up being the vanilla 9070, but if that isn't $500 then people are going to feel lied to, and justifiably so.

I guess you missed the reports of retailers being fully stocked with 9070 XT cards back in January.

Nope, didn't miss those but not sure how that's relevant to my comment.

There are more ways for AMD to mess up this launch than with poor inventory (worse still if inventory is still somehow poor with all the extra time to build up the card stockpile).

And then, the cowards at AMD flaked out. Another great AMD moment.

Well let's see who is the real coward in terms of prices somewhere in march.

nvidia marketing is for complete brainwashed idiots. RTX 5070 = RTX 4090, MSRP is completely off the rails and etc jam.

so, they wait till there will be independent reviews about the performance of nvidia cards, wait till the original launch stocks of RTX5070(XT) dry up (<10mins after launch), and they'll put a price tag on their cards considering the performance and the actual street prices of nvidia cards. also, don't forget that AMD will probably have actual stocks, as their cards are allegedly sitting at shops since January. from AMD point of view, I'd say it's pretty clever. from a consumer point of view, it's sad, because this means RX9070(XT) will definetaly cost more than anticipated

This is just piss poor of AMD. They always find new ways to F themselves. Probably going to be -50$ as per usual. Why bother waiting for this crap.

What they should do is a surpise attack and release their 9070 series card the same time as the 5070TI at -100$. Bunch of wankers AMD.

What momentum at CES? The 5070 Ti is coming on the 20th, a week before the 9070 XT reveal.

The 9070 was already in the stores whilst CES was ongoing.

Yes, the ball is in AMD's court... since January.

They had two months of wasted sales to decide on a new price. How low will they go, and will that make up for the loss of momentum, we'll find out eventually.

Exactly. So chances are that there's gonna be a bit more stock than of the 5070 Ti.
