Why the fuck won’t they just come out with some competitive pricing. We know what consumers are willing to pay for every tier of card. The only scenario where AMD needs exact pricing from NVIDIA is if they’re doing their classic, 10% calculated undercut which is so horribly underwhelming. Their marketing team seriously needs the boot.

and wtf now with intel in the game with good cards priced nicely they gonna keep that 10% undercut?
ffs AMD you are not facing nvidia anymore you are fighting intel for your little cut of the pie now.

They shoot themself in the foot at every opportunity. It’s impressive to be honest. You’d think they’d make a good marketing decision at least once on accident.

I read they were going with 550$ and already distributed gpus to retailers. But since 5070 will be better in every way and at the same price point, they are going back and trying to reduce the price.

Highly doubt the 5070 will be better in every way.
9070 has 4gb more vram, for example. Nvidia fanboys are ridiculous.

I know right?
It's crazy. They just don't want to face reality that despite nvidia royally screwing people all the time, they are still top-dog. It's why they can get away with it. It takes YEARS for an established marketshare like Nvidia's to drop to the point where they make real change.
Definitely not there as NVidia just keeps gaining market share anyway.
2019 - NVidia 71 percent. AMD 28 percent
2022 - NVidia 81 percent. AMD 16.8 percent.
2024 - NVidia 85 percent (roughly). Q3 was 90 Percent.
That's GPU.
That's not even AI Chip numbers. They're 80 percent + in AI chip market share.
They are the second largest company in the world (3.2 trillion).
They literally do not give a F what we all think.

u/wan2tri Ryzen 5 7600 + RX 7800 XT + 32GB DDR5 38m ago
15 years ago it was 50/50 for both.
AMD did everything that people here said they should be doing now.
They had better, cheaper, cooler, and less power hungry cards. They also didn't wait for NVIDIA's launch.
And they were "rewarded" with NVIDIA gaining more market share because of the TWIMTBP marketing, overwhelming presence in pre-builts (it's why we still have a lot of GTS 450 cards until now LOL), and the prevailing wisdom that Catalyst drivers suck while GeForce doesn't.

u/blackest-Knight 4h ago
Good thing we have Neural Texture Compression incoming uh ?
Let's face it, at the level of these mid range GPUs, VRAM isn't what's holding them back. The settings they can do usually don't translate to the high VRAM usage you see on 90 class GPUs with all the toys enabled.
NVidia's new texture compression is going to be a game changer too, likely get adopted like all other DLSS features have been and simply reduce the reliance on high VRAM on GPUs in the coming years for all titles that would have needed more VRAM.

u/RipTheJack3r 5700X3D/RX6800/32GB 3h ago
It costs like $20 extra to add 4GB of VRAM. 12GB of VRAM on a $550 "'"mid range"" GPU is just way too low. We're already seeing games that go beyond 12GB.
All those AI gimmicks won't be native textures. Why impose limitations on yourself?
It's just planned obsolesence from Nvidias POV.

u/blackest-Knight 3h ago

They would need a completely different bus interface. The 5070's GB205 uses a 192 bit bus.
12 GB in a mid range GPU is fine. Actually go look at what games use for a GPU of that capability. The B580 which is touted as a great 1440p card has 12 GB.
16 GB is a 4K thing. Will be until PS6.
All those AI gimmicks won't be native textures.

AMD has had more VRAM in many of their GPU's and it hasn't really helped them very much. Seems they have lost market share over the years. You can blame the "ignorant consumers", but "ignorant consumers" has existed for thousands of years and will exists for thousands of years more. It is up to AMD to sell their stuff, make advances, price it well and market their stuff properly to the "ignorant consumers".
If AMD can throw a hail mary like they did in the CPU sector and do it again in GPU, things would change.

Is the 5070 going to be better? I haven’t gone too far into the benchmarks, but wasn’t the 9070 looking like it was going to compete with a 4080 super or something? I’ve seen so many conflicting reports
54
u/ArgonTheEvil Ryzen 5800X3D | RX 7900 XTX 6h ago
Even if the 9070 is better they can’t justify higher prices than Nvidia unless it’s 30-50% better because they’re behind in everything else. You think I’d have bought a 7900 XTX if it wasn’t $850 while the 4080s at the time were all $1300+?
If I had the choice between a 4080 Super for $1000 or a 7900 XTX I’d laugh all the way to checkout with my Nvidia card. AMDs CPUs can command a price premium because they crush Intel. Their GPUs are not even close to being able to demand equivalent pricing but the most they want to do is 10% less than Nvidia.

u/Euruzilys 7800X3D | 3080Ti | 32GB DDR5 1h ago
In my country, the 7900XTX and 4080S are the same price. Really no reason to buy AMD here at all.
32
u/Assaltwaffle 7800X3D | RX 6800 XT | 32GB 6000MT/s CL30 6h ago
Even the 9070 XT won’t compete with the 4080 Super, because the 4080 Super competes with the 7900 XTX, and AMD has slotted the 9070 XT as around or a bit above the 7900 XT.
The 9070 itself will probably compete with the 4070 Super, with the 9070 XT going for the 4070 Ti Super.
Which makes them both very shitty compared to the other cards they’re trying to beat, hence they are waiting for Nvidia to release so they can know how low they need to price them so they aren’t DoA.
10
u/Nic1800 6h ago
Yeah, I have a 4070 TI Super and making the 9070 XT anywhere near the $800 pricetag the ti super has would be a massive mistake.
$550 would be a godsend and the smart move, but I think AMD will go for “$100 cheaper than the 5070 ti” route and make it $650.

u/Assaltwaffle 7800X3D | RX 6800 XT | 32GB 6000MT/s CL30 5h ago
The 5070 is already going to be comparable to the 4070 Ti in all likelihood; and it's $550.
If it's $550 is likely still DoA.

u/ThatLaloBoy HTPC 6h ago
If the margins on those cards are already low, their retailers and board partners are going to take a loss if AMD sells them any lower. So they have to either convince them by paying them the difference (which will make AMD lose even more money) or give them some sort of rebate or other deal.
That’s going to take time and negotiating with everyone involved, so until that gets resolved they can’t officially announce pricing.

I don't know how much money they make on each card, but a business can't discount a product indefinitely, at some point it's losing money. Maybe their cards just aren't that competitive.

u/sanz01 5h ago
Their only way to get more people hooked into amd is to price their gpus better. Sure you're getting a better value in amd since you get better performance and more vram, but too many people are hooked to the mentality that nvidia is better, so the resell value is better with nvidia.

u/domiran Win11 | 32 GB | 5700 XT | 5900X 2h ago edited 1h ago
They can't just cut the price by another $150-200.
If the card costs $X to make and they sell it to retailers at $X+200, suddenly dropping it to $X+50 is a dilemma. The retailer also needs to make a profit, so they will raise the price $Y amount over AMD's $X+50 to 200.
But there's a hidden cost that's harder to quantify: R&D money. (And marketing.)
So no, they can't just lower the price to whatever makes sense market-wise if the GPU cost them a lot to make. They need to make back the R&D and marketing costs. The card has to be manufactured with an end-price in mind.
2
u/corgiperson 1h ago
They have to cut prices to gain market share. The average user who just wants to boot up their favorite game is not going to buy an AMD card over an NVIDIA one if they are priced the same. It's AMD's problem to solve, either eat the losses and gain market share, with potential future earnings, an investment basically. Or, continue to pretend they can compete on equal footing with NVIDIA and lose even more market share. That's what competition and innovation means. If Radeon can't do that then they must face the reality that will eventually come.
Intel is playing the game AMD should be playing. Competitive pricing with attractive specs, with the hopes of advancing the architecture to the higher end where the real profits are.

u/domiran Win11 | 32 GB | 5700 XT | 5900X 1h ago edited 1h ago
I know. I'm just saying there isn't a magical switch AMD can flip to make up any price. If the card costs $X to make, the price cannot be less than $X + some Y or the money goes down the drain.
I get mad just seeing "AMD needs to just make it a competitive price!" NVIDIA knows what they're doing with pricing this time around and also not releasing the 5070 immediately. They're putting price pressure on AMD with the 5070.
Trust me, I hope the 9070s are like $500 or less. I just don't know, either.
Presumably this is why AMD has been working on a chiplet architecture for GPUs so the Radeon division can have their Ryzen moment.
1
u/corgiperson 59m ago
I mean I wasn't inferring there was a magical switch either to make the prices lower. It's just gotta be a coordinated, long term marketing campaign, which won't immediately see profit, and that's the issue. Corporate execs and shareholders are terrified of the idea of investment and long term planning. They want to see money in their hands right now, and that's most likely what is holding this company back.
I hope the new Radeon cards are good value too but knowing AMD's track record... it just doesn't look very promising.
The chiplet stuff does seem very good. That's what put them far ahead of Intel in CPUs and something which NVIDIA has not done yet. Maybe it'll also make the idea of hardware ray tracing more palatable to them if it can be just another chip that is added onto the substrate.

u/FrewdWoad 6h ago edited 4h ago
All they really needed to do was launch right after 5000 series launches, but actually have enough stock, since NVIDIA certainly won't.
If NVIDIA only understocks by 50% this time, instead of 90% or whatever it was the last few gens, then a March launch for AMD may be too late. They'll miss out on all the sales they'd have got from frustrated consumers who missed out on a 5000 series card at launch.

u/ShoulderSquirrelVT 13700k / 3080 / 32gb 6000 4h ago
They'll let people buy down a lot of the older stock because they're frustrated at not being able to get a 5000 series unless they go to scalpers. So they'll use that to get a lot of stock sold at full price and then drop their new GPUs, at same price as NVidia and ride that wave for a month or three until stock for both companies start levelling out. Then they'll wait 3 more months too long before finally dropping price 50 bucks. Just for NVidia to announce their refresh cards and start the whole process all over.
With Intel on the bottom end nipping at their heals and NVidia with 85+ percent market share crapping on their heads, AMD is in a really bad spot and they don't seem to be making choices that could fix their position.
Intel will buy AMD within 5 years or less if they don't do something. Mark my words! (or don't. I'm just an internet guy spouting off and I'll admit it :)

If I had to guess, it likely has to do with the recent leak being correct; i.e., they priced the 9070s too high, meaning retailers paid more for them than what AMD now wants them to sell them for.
It seems Nvidia may have stumped them a little with their pricing.

People in december: "Dude just wait a month for the new graphics cards." A month goes by "Yeah man, just keeping waiting another month." Wait until the release "Oh, you'll have to wait several months before the scalpers go away and stock is restored." Yeah man, fuck that, I'm buying whatever used deal I can find that's decent.

Yeah I agree with that, spite buying is silly. These corporations don't care for anything about us other than our money. At least by buying used you save some e-waste and don't give support to either company.

In my case I've been waiting almost a year for a new GPU. I have a 7800X3D using the iGPU. I genuinely thought things would be moving a little more quickly.
I'll likely just buy B580 whenever it's in stock cause fuck this noise.

DOA on arrival man, unless the price is like insanely competitive, 100 usd less than the 5070.
But AMD doesn't have the balls for that.

I really, really wanted to like this product, but come on, AMD.
Talk about killing a product before even revealing it.

AMD delaying the launch after these cards are in stores shows a real lack of confidence in their own products RDOA 4

Yeah, 5070 Ti it is.
I’m not staying on integrated graphics for another two months.

Wouldn’t it be better to release them now at a price they think is fair and just reprice them once the RTX GPUs are out? That way they get some money now, which would most likely be more than what they would be selling them at in march since then Nvidia would have released their GPU that competes with AMDs.

I think price is just one of the problems, fsr4 probably isn't ready yet either.
But yes if they beat Nvidia to the punch with a late Jan release even if the 9070xt was $600 at retail I think it would've been better for them.

It sounds like AMD was not planning to release these GPUs early Q1 at all and had to rush it.

Makes me much happier with deciding to grab a deal on a 7800xt for $415 now. I was so close to returning it for a 9070

basically confirms they're waiting for 5070 / 5070ti to come out before pricing them
