Yes. But nVidia changed the playing field on them so now AMD's 9070's competed against the 5080 & 5070 Ti whereas before the 8800XT competed against the 4070Ti. nVidia dropped the 4070 waaaaaay down in performance
I was under the impression the 9070XT would trade blows with the 5070 TI, not the 5080. Wasn't the whole point of AMD changing their naming scheme to match that of Nvidia's?
Benchlife has learned AMD plans to show off its RDNA 4 desktop graphics cards a week after Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is slated to hit shelves. But, the Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 will only be shown off at that time. Sales are expected to start sometime in March.
