AMD Radeon 9070XT review thread

winjer said:
So I reinstalled GhostWire Tokyo and made a comparison between FSR2.3.4; FSR 3.1.5 and FSR4.1. All in Quality Mode. Using Optiscaler.
I picked a place with lot's of vegetation with lots of movement from wind. This is one of the worst case scenarios for a temporal upscaler.
With FSR2 there is a ton of ghosting and blur in the vegetation. Most detail is lost when there is movement. These images don't make justice to how bad it looks in motion.
With FSR3.1 there are very big improvements to vegetation in motion. But still not perfect and some detail is lost. There is also still a bit of ghosting.
FSR4.1 is pretty much perfect. Every leaf and grass bale is distinct in motion. And most detail is preserved.

What happend to particles with DLSS

This and comparison you posted in PSSR thread winjer winjer only show that DLSS4.5 is broken in many aspects, it improves some things but breaks others vs. 4.0. Really fucking weird direction nvidia is going with this...

Same, I was lucky to get one below MSRP right before prices went up like crazy. I'm really liking it. I love how efficient it is once you reduce the power limit and undervolt it. I went from 350W to 240W power draw while actually increasing my performance.

What are you running? My -60mv and -20% power draw has been reliable in all games except for Witcher 3 for some odd reason.

I have the ASUS Prime model and I'm at -75mv and -30% power limit. With those settings the boost clock hits 3.3GHz which is fairly higher than what it goes up to with the default settings. Once I move my rig into my new case I will OC the memory a bit to squeeze just a little more performance out of it.

anyone tested it on RDNA4?
Click to expand...
I have tested it. I have CP2077 installed.

While it can improve RT performance from like 90-110 fps to rock solid 120 fps with PT+RT it also introduces a lot of RT noise.

And no RR stuff just kills the idea. Maybe with that Alpha Nvidia RR mod to AMD RR mod via OptiScaler could do wonders with this stuff, I should like test this maybe next time.
 
winjer winjer first tests on RE9 didn't go so well lmao.

I have that SDK RR DLL and that modded OptiScaler DLL with RR mod and FSR 4.1.0 in one folder but it didn't inject properly with dxgi.dll, the game just crashes.

I'm gonna do some research over at official OptiScaler Discord when I'm back from work. It may inject with a different name of DLL though.

Will have to double check that.

Or it could be just Denuvo thing, game is behaving weirdly, like I can't alt+tab at all and it's blocking AMD Adrenalin Overlay. But it injects FSR 4.1.0 through system wide DLL. The only way to access Adrenalin is to set resolution to HD and game from borderless fullscreen to window on my 1440p monitor, lmao.

Or RR mod is just unstable with game.

You need to use RE Framework with most Capcom games. The ones that use RE Engine.

----------------------------------

Not related, but there are new chipset drivers for AMD motherboards.

AMD Ryzen™ Chipset Driver 8.02.18.557

Oopsie, thanks for pointing that out.

I played remakes on PS5 and 7 and 8 too, 9 is my first RE on PC, lmao.

It helped inject OptiScaler, RR mod just crashed though. Folks over at OptiScaler Discord said that so far its just a proof of concept, unusable in games outside of Cyberpunk in which it still gives not good results, a bummer but it is what it is.

I managed to launch RE9 on Linux with RT and on newest like Kernel and Mesa Git drivers and saw a parity between Windows and Linux in performance with slightly lower CPU usage by 10 to 20%, the game also didn't have to have RE Framework injected to alt+tab and switch workspaces also MangoHud overlay just worked out of the box. I also injected FSR 4.1.0 without OptiScaler just added PROTON_FSR4_UPGRAFE=1 launch parameter via Stream Play with newest GE-Proton and checked on Store page app id, then went into a Windows Prefix in Steam/common/compatdata and search for a folder with RE9 app id went into C drive prfx then Windows and replaced the DLL in System32 folder with the leaked one and it shows 4.1.0 in the game menu.

I updated chipset drivers on Windows while dual booting between it and CachyOS.

I guess with that topic out of the way I got pretty immersed in RE9 lmao, feels really solid I'm at second Grace section and I already think it will be better than 7 and 8...

Next step is FSR Diamond
Click to expand...


LOL, AMD still hasn't even completed Redstone and they are already announcing Diamond. Talk about putting the cart in front of the Ox.
There is still no FSR4 on RDNA3. Only one game with FSR Ray Regeneration. FSR Frame Generation still has frame pacing issues. There is no FSr4 on Vulkan. And Radiant Cache is still missing in action.
At this point, Radeon Group has more things announced than completed.

Was really looking forward to the redstone rollout, but have never been more glad I picked up a 5080 as Requiem PT requires Nvidia. Still have my 9070xt for testing and as a backup, but FSR4 support has been notoriously poor and it's less effort popping in the Nvidia card and never worrying about optiscaler for every game.

I really want AMD to succeed, but sometimes it seems I want it more than they do.

Yup, and Nvidia just hit parity in Black Myth Wukong on Linux in DX12 with RT, so I may as well next go with Nvidia instead of AMD if I decide I wanna finally upgrade from RX 9070XT next time.

So AMD is preparing the new driver and already has a new amdxcffx64.dll for FSR4.1 in their servers. Anyone that wants to try it, here it is:


This one has a higher version. But asides from that, I don't know the difference.
It still shows up as FSR4.1

Nice, so now on Linux it will download the newest DLL with FSR4 upgrade parameter from the get go on all of my games. Since it uses AMD servers for those.

I am starting to wonder if someone from their own driver engineering team is leaking these FSR drivers.
Click to expand...

The only one that was leaked was by the user "The Creator" on the Guru3d forums. He is a part of the AMD Vanguard program. Basically beta drivers.

The dlls I'm posting are from the AMD servers. They are public, AMD does this on purpose for developers and testers.
It means AMD is preparing to release an official driver. It's not a leak.

Is it normal for it to show up as inactive on Adrenaline in game? it shows the correct version at the bottom of the global graphics

On the games I tested, all showed the upgrade available. Except for BF6, but I suspect it's because of the EA anticheat system.

In which game did you have problems?

I'm only using Black Ops 7,but it's clearly working because the picture quality looks much better
