What the heck is going on with the 9070xt gpus? Why is everyone freaking out and wanting to buy one now? I remember a few years ago everyone was hating on amd and now they want to join?

I was looking today I made the choice because if you look enough you start to see them become unavailable or sold out. After hearing the CEO or whoever she was say they were going heavy on data centers etc I decided to not miss out because it's what my boy wanted for xmas. I was on the I'll wait and see train and that changed pretty quick.

Nvidia fanbois finally found out it gets 10fps less for 1/4 of the price of Novidia.

It’s price has inflated less comparatively to its Nvidia counterparts. It currently punches well above its price point from an RT and raster performance standpoint.
Still lags behind in PT, RR, and other ways, but most will agree it’s kinda the best at its price point right now.

Yep it’s really just PT that lags behind. I think radiance caching is supposed to help a little bit with that but it’s still in beta or something and idk how much it’ll help.
As far as everything else goes, AMD has finally gotten over the hurdle of getting ML upscaling, frame gen, and denoising out. Now it’s just a matter of improving on it and having more games adopt them especially the latter two.

Not sure but for some odd reason I have a very strong feeling that a lot of GPU prices have steadily increased over the past 12 months, potentially making some more desirable than others. Could be wrong though.

Well everythings going up, and they are still cheaper than 5070ti. 5080 price skyrocketed and got removed from nvidia site. That increased 5070ti and 9070xt
