  • That’s not quite true. AMD cards just get clocked higher from the factory. So when a 9070xt beats a 5070 by an average of 17%, you can easily cap the power limit to match the performance. That’s with more VRAM which of course increases the power requirements

    The prices don’t quite match up, though since it’s between the 5070 and the ti (although in the US it’s often more expensive for some reason)

    The problem is that AMD is selling the chips to OEMs for a price that’s too high to enable to sell at MSRP while giving a discount for small batches of MSRP models. It becomes a lottery where the quickest people can get $600 models refreshing ever rarer restocks.

    One of the reasons is… tariffs, but I’m not sure how Nvidia got the prices down on its models
