Again, you quote yourself and make believe something that is not true.
AMD was not comparing the performance of the RX 9070 to that of the 4070, only comparing the branding/product stack to the current RTX4000 series. You are the one focusing on that and making a note of it incorrectly.
Correct, the RTX4090 tops the Radeon XTX and that is not in question (even though XTX beats it in a few games), but what is NOT the point, or even in question. It to point out Nvidia' weak architecture and the 4090's Price/performance ratio ovr that of the XTX (and even 4080). Which shows the limitation of the Architecture.
Do you know what never beat the 4090 in any game, the 4080.
So if you are going to buy a $1k GPU today, XTX = Win
No, words mean things and when u try and mock and insinuate and make fun of something, when what you are basing that hubris on isn't true... makes YOU look fanboish. I am just pointing that out to you.
CUDA is dead in gaming and the XTX showed this.
Beating the drum about how great AMD is and how they have the best Gaming GPU is not going to fix their sales problem which in fact is somewhat serious issue for AMD.
Let's change topic to what you are saying -- lots of people (green fan boys and even reviewers) not going to like it so much and that is in part what the problem is for AMD. That being said, Correct, Radeon is the ONLY gaming platform from the ground up for Gaming and in and by itself tops or matches all sides of nVidia cards they label as gaming (or GTX/RTX) with of course benchmarks and game engines that benchmark frame rates. For nVidia, the GTX 8800 was the first (cuda) GPU where focus was not on gaming (that doesn't change the success they have had with marketing, marketing to and with review sites, consumers lining up in huge numbers to buy their hardware).
Correct as well (somewhere along way your RX 7900 XTX comments) -- I own it (alongside RTX 4090 in my other system, both which are used for Work and Play -- There are in fact games that look and feel just a slight bit better on 7900 XTX and even in-game frame times and rates that reflect that over the RTX 4090 -- But, that is NOT what review sites and their benchmarks reflect, it's also NOT what consumers bought as RTX 4090 sales are huge beyond RX 7900 XTX -- that's an AMD problem (not a problem that people perhaps like you or I under NDA or embargo can drop today about when it comes to both companies next gen GPU's).
Fanboy stuff for me, may you know me, maybe not, either way I'm not trashing AMD or breaking any agreements, I may or may not have with them (nor nVidia) -- If I was to play fanboy (it would change in 10 mins for me), it would be for Xess2 (Intel), personally for gaming, I believe it's the better solution moving forward over either of the other teams. I also feel Intel could in fact build a Xess2 GPU that would stand ground toe to toe with RTX 5080 Super, however Intel has the production problem, they would end up with such a big black eye being unable to supply the cards it would be a mess -- If you are truly on the (GPU hardware or software) inside you know Intel's problem too.
The next Gen AMD GPU while it will no longer be Radeon, there is solid chance it will challenge nVidia in the Gaming Market, then, how much of that is the fact nVidia is moving arm's length away from gaming GPU's.
Then for AMD vs nVidia with gaming GPU's -- the focus for AMD is and continues to be on making GPU's for the resolutions and hardware gamers really play on and at vs GPU that markets well with review sites and benchmarks, consumers will disagree (and have, look at sales numbers) as once again AMD has not positioned themselves well enough nor done solid marketing so review sites and consumers sell the performance and values that their chips actually offer.
RX 9070 XT -- just maybe the benchmarks floating around and cards some played on so far, perhaps they really are just RX 9070 (AMD did bit switcher-roo) which then as you noted a time or two, would in fact make the RX 9070 XT faster (raster) than RX 7900 XTX and of course much faster Rays (and cost $479 with AIB $549ish). We are about to see if that's so or not.
