I doubt that it will be enough. I do not expect the performance to match exactly and then you're left with "oh, the Nvidia card is 10% faster and has better production software support, maybe I want to try Ai?" --> Nvidia it is

I think AMD and Nvidia are currently slowly killing PC gaming...

Every has their own ideas of what's enough, though. 9070 XT at $600 against 5070ti is enough for me going with what else (we think) we know. You can't help but compare it to the 5070 at that price and for $50 more it's very good as long as you consider buying amd in the first place.

...

The non-xt branding drives me nuts. Does anyone else feel like it gives off an air of being a nerfed 'xt' instead of a proper stablemate? I don't know why that doesn't seem to happen with 'ti' branding. The non-xt models seem to fade into the background. They even seem to have less stock on average.

This is kind of where I'm at, too. Expecting something in between a 5070 and 5070 Ti in performance. More on level of CNN DLSS, no MFG, less performant RT. $650 for a decent brand like Sapphire or PowerColor would be highly appealing.

This time nonXT is very good, and up 7900XT perf. Also based on price screens seems ~150$ difference between nonXT and XT

I'd want more like $600 for xt to say "wow".

Actually available to buy at $650 isn't crazy right this minute, though.

The latest we're seeing is hopefully placeholder prices of $650/$750. That's not working for me. Is that the "mid range" they've been talking up all this time? So how much do they want for a 9060XT?!?

The 6900GRE was $550 and now the "8800XT" would be $750? What are they doing with the product stack? What are you supposed to get for $300? An 8gb 9050?

Understandable. Of course it all depends on the performance. $650 for a Nitro+ or Red Devil would be impulse buy territory for me if it's in between a 5070 and 5070 Ti. $750usd MSRP with the premium cards going for $800-900 would be a tragedy.

$600-$650 was my maximum that I was thinking of buying 9070XT. At $750+ I will wait on the reviews and see if it's a worthy of its price.... as I want good Nvidia style HDR implementation + AI upscaled videos, and may even just wait until Nvidia 5070Ti stock issues get resolved and get one at MSRP.

AMD had a lot to prove with this FSR4, and in order to convince mass to convert to FSR4 and their card, they really need to market aggressively. Looks like another missed opportunity.

There is safety in numbers. Never buy parts that are out of the mainstream. Your custom parts will have custom issues that don't have workarounds. Safety in numbers, benchmarks be damned.
