Regarding the scores we currently have, it appears that the Radeon RX 9070 XT fails to match the Radeon RX 7900 XTX in both the tests, although it easily exceeds the GeForce RTX 4080 Super in the non-ray-traced TS Extreme test. In the Speed Way test, which is a ray-traced benchmark, the RX 9070 XT fails to match the RTX 4080 Super, falling noticeably short.

Sounds like the value proposition of this card will heavily depend on its price. If it is significantly below Nvidia's $549 (US style) price for the 5070, this could be a compelling product.

The 330 watt power consumption is not great though.

Oh yes, in comparison, 5070 has "only" 250W. I wish AMD did a Ryzen on NVidia. Like it did against Intel.

I am guessing they simply don't see enough money in the consumer dGPU market. Their focus seems to be squarely on enterprise GPUs and powerful iGPUs for laptops.

One could argue this is a very reasonable strategy.

[–] Mihies 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That could be the case, but then again, why bother with consumer market at all? Just for marketing doesn't sound that much appealing - cheap and power-hungry. I have a feeling that they are still trying to compete.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I am sure they are trying to compete, but it seems their focus is really on the iGPU part for consumers.

Let's see how things play out. I would only be happy to see both AMD and Intel offer compelling products (price and functionality) to compete with Nvidia.
