In a game like Indiana Jones the difference between a cut down 8GB part and a cut down 12GB part is going to be the difference between a 60+ fps result and a result in the 30 fps range. Indiana Jones 8GB fails In Diablo 4 8GB cards have lower texture quality to maintain the framerate D4 8GB...

It does not need to use 12GB to be of benefit. Once you are using 8.5GB you will see and feel the benefit of more VRAM and frequently titles at 1080p are using over 8GB and there are more on the horizon.

Gibbo says they have hundreds of cards at msrp but when they sell those the price will increase. Check the ocuk forums.

So in the UK the MSRP 9070XTs are £569 compared to the cheapest 5070 in stock which is £649.

The TPU database is at 4K so you should probably us the +21% vs the GRE as that was also at 4K rather than mixing and matching 1440p and 4K data. As for the calculation it should be as follows. 7800XT = 100 7900GRE = 110 9070 = 110 * 1.21 = 133 So 33% more performance for 10% more money...

Where are you getting that from? The slide showed the 9070 as +21% vs the 7900GRE for the same price...

I don't think so. Top line seems about right. 9070 may equal the 7900XT give or take but I suspect the 5070 does not even match the 4070S let alone the 4070Ti. The 9060XT has too little bandwidth to match the 7800XT so I see it closer to the 7700XT / 4070 With how small N44 probably is I...

N48 has good yields so rather than binning perfectly good dies as a 9070 AMD are just making sure there is supply of 9070XT and that means using the 9070 as an upsell product. As more production ramps and they get more faulty dies the 9070 price can drop down a bit.

NV would be 4070 / 4070 Super / 4070Ti / 4070Ti Super

If the $599 / $549 is true then clearly N48 has great yields and AMD don't want to supply many 9070's so are pricing it to upsell to the 9070 XT. Also means they can supply more 9070 XTs rather than splitting the same volume of chips across 2 products. Also please stop with Non XT.... Nobody...

If only cards were actually $750 rather than $900 +

1%lows show the 16GB model gives a 60fps + experience at all time where as the 8GB model dips below the 60 fps mark. It may not happen in every game but it happens in a lot of newer titles and it is only going to get worse as time goes on. As others have also said this also does not show...

No turn time test makes this entire article pointless.

They removed the GPU bound titles to show the average uplift in the full suite and the average uplift when CPU bound. EDIT: Oh and I think a few titles get engine bound at a certain point as well. Forza does where there is a bottleneck somewhere else that is neither CPU or GPU). So yea, they...

In fairness RT is demanding on both CPU and GPU so running at 720p DLSS P with RT on can still alleviate a GPU bottleneck while also ensuring that the CPU is being stressed by having the CPU demanding settings enabled.
