AMD it's your time to shine.

Now watch AMD to somehow snatch Defeat from jaws of Victory. Got to tell you, I wouldn’t even be surprised.

What a surprise, another shit card from an even shittier company. To think that this will likely retail at £700+ going by the trend set by the rest of those cards is just bonkers.

Hold for the 9070 and 9070XT to at least see what the competition can offer.

You should have posted the Indiana Jones screencap. 13fps due to 12gb VRAM.

It's the 8gb 3070 all over again.
We are already at a point where even 12gb is not enough for modern games. AMD should really reconsider cancelling that 32gb 9070 XTX.
This actually happened to my 4080 Super as well if I tried to max it in 4K. VRAM went over 16GB and then I got Ocarina of Time framerates.
20+ GB is needed now.
 
A 5060 with a 70 badge. Like this should be $350 card.

Except... Moore's Law is Dead. That's why they sized it the way they did, to not reduce margins as much. GDDR7 costs more presumably so it's already taking a hit.

They could have used N4P instead, and gotten some amount of better performance... but well they didn't.

What the fuck is this shit?

What's wrong with this one in your view?
5070 launches at $550 (market price is TBD of course but this is true for all GPUs) which puts it at 4070's price position - or 50 below 4070 Super's.
In both comparisons it provides a perf/price improvement. Not enough for the owners of 4070 or Super to upgrade - but this was always a rare occurrence even before we've ran out of production process improvements.
For 3070 owners or prior Turing and Pascal GPUs of ~$500 launch price it is a solid upgrade option at a similar price.

There are some results where 5070 barely beats 4070 which are less than ideal but this one isn't it.

And???

5070=GB205=5060 for $350-400
5070ti=GB203=5070 for $550
5080=GB203=5070ti for $700
5090=GB202=5080 for $1000

Launch a much improved 5080ti or 5090 in a year.

This should be the lineup and before you try to argue that a GB202 5080 for 1000 bucks would be way too cheap, then let me remind you that a 4070 Ti Super is faster in games than a 3090ti. 5080 should have been faster than the 4090. 50 series is a massive cash grab.

Nvidia needs to be fined or something, they just straight up lie and face no consequences for it.
There are some consequences, the reviews and people talking. I think the 50-serie is going to be a serious anchor for Nvidia in both sales figures and PR. There is nobody saying anything positive about these cards now. AMD should’ve had a higher end model, this would’ve been the perfect timing to take some market shares.

The 4000 series moved from Samsung's 8nm process to a much better one. The 5000 is not doing that. They don't get the benefit of die shrinks. It's becoming technically impossible to launch a "much improved 5080ti". They can't shrink the process and can only pump more energy through the card and clock it faster with all that entails. That's why they are resorting to algorithm gimmicks and lies.

Well, then don't release a 5090 or 5080ti (I know NV wants to have that halo product). The point still stands, this 5070 is a 5060. Just like the 12GB 4080 (AD104) was a 4070.

nope. I'm okay reducing texture quality with my now ancient 3070
but with brand new 5070? nah. it should have 16 GB VRAM
even 3070 was able to play with maximum texture quality up until 2023. so this is even worse than 3070 at launch

I think we are getting to that point, where these cards are unnecessary and can't really be iterated upon anymore, and they need to put in software gimmicks to convince suckers of their value. BUT! Nvidia has a GPU department and the people there make a lot of money and would prefer to keep their jobs.

They didn't even have to lie, should have just pushed the clocks a hair more and marketed it as "surpassing 3090 and 3090Ti". Droned on about how amazing it was they could offer a $550 card exceeding a $1999 one.

Rhino dump of a card.

If nvidia can't be arsed with gaming these days, can they license the tech to some other company that can at least but some acceptable memory and bus size on these things.

Okay... now I'm back to 9070xt. I was debating whether it would be a good card for gaming and htpc (RTX HDR and Super resolution benefit) - but with this type of performance, no go for me.
I'll take a chance that AMD will implement something in the future like RTX HDR and easier to use & better performing Super Resolution for streaming videos.

This 50 series cards so far has been all turd. Shite'. How disappointing. I hope AMD will deliver, and so does Intel later with B770/780.
