I’m aware, but right now I could purchase a 7900 XT for a bit less than 699€, including 19% VAT - meaning the price before tax is closer to 566€.
Right now there are some leaks suggesting the RX 9070 XT will be sold for $499 - or 476€. After adding 19% VAT it would be 566€ - or 130€ cheaper than the average 7900 XT:
If the card also performs worse than the 7900 XT, I don’t think it has great value.
Compute power seems to be the same, disregarding any architecture changes. If they manage to pull off equal performance at a lower price and lower power envelope, it’ll actually be quite something.
That’s because you already have top notch gear:) For everyone that’s not already at 7900 level performance 90% of the performance at 80% of the price is great.
For those that are able to spend 80% of the price, that is.
I just don’t think a price-to-performance improvement of 12.5% for a new generation is good. It’s OK, sure, but nothing to write home about.
It’d be good at $449 and great at $399 but I haven’t seen any leak suggesting these prices.
I just don’t want this card to be an incremental improvement over the 7800 XT instead of a substantial one.
Edit: Wouldn’t this make the 9070 XT pretty much identical to the 7900 GRE both in price and in performance? From what I can tell, the 7900 GRE is the best price-to-performance upper midrange card AMD has.

Hopefully, because something like 10% lower performance at 20% lower price is nothing to be excited about imo.
It’d make a good card if it matched the 7900 XT and a great one if it beat it.

I wish I had top notch gear :(
