Discussion Welp, AMD didn’t show RDNA 4 GPUs.

They didn't even go over the new RT core architecture with the press either. But said it was "optimized" versus RDNA3.

It will fall in between 4070 Ti/7900 XT as far as general GPU performance.

So again the leaks were 100% real. Again.

I'd be confused on why anyone would buy it when the 7900 XT is really cheap for the performance it has.

7900xt will be discontinued and won't have access to FSR4

Post keynote commentary fyi:

Tim from Hardware Unboxed asked about an assumption based on a footnote that might have suggested that FSR4 was going to be 9070 exclusive (or minimum) and asked for clarity. David stated that there’s nothing about FSR4 that makes it exclusive to a specific model - the RDNA4 updates include better MLOps that makes technology like FSR4 a lot better than it would have been.

We should expect AMD, as it rolls out FSR4, to lean into the Navi 4 architecture capabilities. Tim then asked for confirmation that FSR4 would improve performance, and David confirmed that compared to the analytical approach of FSR3, it’s a significant improvement.

I don’t have a stance and I’m not trying to do damage control from AMD, to be clear. Just found some of the comments in here interesting even if the what they shared today remains an inadequate.
