    I hope AMD can take a significant market share from NVIDIA while NVIDIA is too busy counting money from the AI bubble

      I agree with Steve from Gamer’s Nexus - I think if AMD released the 9070 for $500 instead of matching the 5070 at $550, AMD’s market share would probably double. As it is, we’ll just have to see what the market thinks about $550.

        I don’t actually think that’s true. Not because people wouldn’t want it, but rather because yields are good enough that there won’t actually be many 9070s (which is a cut down and lower clocked die).

    It’s even worse for Europe. Prices start at €800 (~$866), making any talk about ‘MSRP-to-performance-ratio’ absolutely pointless.

    Even the 9070XT was launched recently and after 30ish minutes, minimum prices went from €695 to €924 (~$1,001) in my country.

    Fuck the GPU market.

    Idk man, as someone who waited for the 5000 series and then didn’t buy them (went with an older model), these articles make me pretty happy. Ngl

      Pulled the trigger on a 4070TI SUPER at MSRP a year ago, thankful I passed on this bullshit instead of waiting for it
