AMD is curious about what gamers are most excited about in RDNA4. This has prompted us to reflect on our own hopes. Given Nvidia’s dominance in the GPU market, a strong new generation from AMD is crucial now more than ever.

Our Aspirations for RDNA 4

• Jeremy L, Critical Pixel Watcher: Pricing is critical for RDNA 4. AMD has struggled with high launch prices leading to negative reviews, which often can’t be reversed with discounts later in the product cycle.

• Jacob R, The Optimist: There’s actually a chance for AMD to produce a competitive RX 9070 series that stands up against its Nvidia counterparts, marrying performance and price effectively.

• Andy E, Long-time FSR User: I look forward to an enhanced version of FSR with improved image quality that could pose a real challenge to Nvidia’s performance.

• Dave J, Pessimist: The recent CES event gave little hope for aggressive competition as Nvidia continues to ramp up its offerings.

• James B, AMD Skeptic: I desire RDNA 4 to offer good value, not necessarily the best technology.

• Jacob F, Resigned User: My intent is to find justification for spending on a new graphics card that meets today’s gaming needs.

• Nick E, Feature-focused Aspirant: I hope that RDNA 4 will deliver the same features as Intel and Nvidia GPUs without a compromise on performance.

Conclusion: These insights illustrate that while anticipation builds for RDNA 4, AMD has much to prove regarding competitive pricing and features.
