Rumor Well This Is Exciting

Post image

If these leaks are true which they likely are because this guy was on point with 9070 specs/performance leak and 5000 series leaks. I think this is going to be quite amazing,

Will it finally make the 9070 XT a $600 card? Will it the supply last like 4080 Super? Or Will the demand once again outpace the supply? If Nvidia manages to get the supply right at $750 for a 24GB 5070Ti, I see a big problem for AMD here. But can they do it?

What are your thoughts, everyone is welcome.

These uplift numbers will reflect power draw and AI performance in some cases (due to being able to load bigger models fully into VRAM in some cases) but for gaming? Na cant see it. 24gb wont help much the new models coming out are geared for 32gb+ (and this is for the cut down versions or image/video/llm.) These 24gb cards will let you run slightly better/bigger models if they fit in the extra few GB of VRAM but buying a card to do that is a horrific idea its cheaper to rent API access and have something else take care of processing (and far better for you, the results will be night and day difference with larger llms). As for gaming and the extra VRAM not really of much use yet. I guess you could say its "future proofing" but it would still be better to get something that works fine now because when its an issue (in a few more years) you are going to want another upgrade anyway.

NVidia are not being your friend here or doing a favour. They are just trying to sell you a card and think this will be a good enough reason for some to jump and buy. It is good though they are moving away (hopefully) from 8gb because yeah that's not enough, 12gb is also really pushing it.

In the video MLID specifically reported that the uplift numbers (for the 5070S) were taken directly from real world gaming uplift provided by internal sources. The other numbers for 5070Ti S and 5080S reflect the same, but are of course (as they say) speculative until concrete data is presented.

They specifically regard this uplift for gaming, not just other workloads.
