Given that you asked for a $449 price point, would the $479 rumor in that article please you? The cost of the AIB models is high, but that's to be expected, sadly, and the same will happend with the Nvidia models. |
If 9070XT comes with 16GB of Vram and it costs $479, I think going for the 9070XT would be an easy recommendation against 5070 since the feature set is largely similar now that FSR is based on Ai upscaling. Radeon had a pretty strong showing against Nvidia's 70 series for some time now and I think the enhanced RT and new FSR along with 16GB of vram should be an easy sell.
But realistically, I think 9070 XT will be priced higher if it's actually as fast as a 7900XT to compete more closely to 5070 Ti while 9070 will be priced similarly to 5070 at the $479 price point. But we will see.
