Introduction Today, AMD announces the AMD Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs based on the RDNA 4 architecture for 2025. Though there was a pre(?)-announcement at CES 2025, now is the time that AMD is ready to divulge all the information on the Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs and all about the RDNA 4 architecture itself, […]

See full article...
 
It is at times like this that I miss Anand's in depth tech coverage.
 
BTW AMD claiming FSR 4 performance mode is better than FRS3.1 is not saying much but at least is a step in the right direction.
 
Interesting read... I found it... odd they did comparisons to cards 2 gens old today... made me uncomfortable with what they are delivering.
 
I can only hope that thanks to the 9070 series prices, 5070Ti prices will como more down to earth and be closer to MSRP (once stock settles).

I don't really see nvidia cutting the 5070Ti price but at least getting them for closer to $750 would still be good news.

Well I think the argument could be that people tend to skip a generation to upgrade, so people upgrading from say a RTX 3070Ti/3080Super can see the benefits of going with a 9000 series.

That used to be true in my house, but that was also when there was a sub-$200 market and top-end was $700. But the last few, it's been more like every 3 or 4 generations...
 
So much information, it hurts your head. Nice complete article.
The real deal here is can these cards compete with what is out right now, not a 3090 or a 7900GRE or whatever.
I would hope a brand new GPU could stomp a card from 2 generations ago. Next, what can these things do in real-life gaming.
Finally, is there actually a MSRP card to be had? Like anything else, the upper tiers are going to be two or three hundred dollars more, now you're in the realm of $1000 for a GPU ...........I hope AMD does well, we'll see.

Think of the 9070 as a 7900gre replacement & 9070xt as a 7900xt replacement

They will continue to sell the 7800xt & 7700xt until stocks last
7900xtx is sold out everywhere

I currently have a RTX3070Ti and skipped RTX40, not sure if I'll go RTX50, might end up skipping it as well.
 
You can't do that. The advances in FSR4 and AI make those cards pretty much irrelevant. If these new cards ray trace even marginally better, they will be heads and shoulders above those other cards.

I went from a 980 to a 3080. Not looking to upgrade this generation either, from either team.

My son though, he has a RX 5600, I think - maybe even an older RX560. He's probably due, but he doesn't care if his games run at 27 FPS, apparently... so I'm not buying him a new GPU. He's old enough he can earn money to get a new one if he wants to.

Yup. 980ti to 3090ti here. I'll upgrade when I absolutely have to. $2k invested today is more retirement money down the road. Sad thing is GPU prices are rising faster than my investment portfolio, so I may need a different hobby in retirement.
 
I've been focusing on home upgrades since Black Friday. New stove, dishwasher, and cordless vacuum. Also got a set of Michelin's for our latest used car.
 
I mean why buy a stove when you can buy a 5090 and have a a cooking surface, house heater, and better FPS?
Im not sure what is up with your priorities! :ROFLMAO:


Edit:
Now I am seriously thinking about designing a case with a built in stove.....
