I once thought this would be a great GPU, but I'm sceptical now. I can see why it would exist - to fill the absurdly large gap between the 9070 and 9060 XT - but it doesn't make as much sense as a product than the two that sandwich it.

But if the alternative is nothing to bridge the gap between $350 and $550, then I think it's a worse alternative. I think that more choice is better.

I agree. Having an option is better than having no option, even if the option isn't optimal in all ways. It's still faster than the RX 9060 XT and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB after all.

Well, I never said it shouldn't exist - in fact, no offense guys, I kinda said the opposite. I was just backtracking what I said a few months ago that this GPU would be amazing.

I agree with you. It's definitely not as amazing as it could have been. That said, it's likely that most of these GPUs could have their memory boosted from 18 Gbps to 20 Gbps. That would be a memory boost of 11%, which could have a notable impact on performance. I'd love to see that tested!

I can see that GPU launching in the West at the end of this year or early next year. Not the most exciting GPU out there, but that gap needs filled.
