The 9070 XT has unimpressive power efficiency, because they pushed clocks hard. The 9070 is much better.On one hand the power consumption is embarassing especially since AMD used to be better than Nvidia in this dept, especially with 6000 series vs 3000 series
but on the other hand the 9070 XT has an actually good connector.
Rather pointless as no two cards OC the same. Especially when it comes to memory. The 5000 series cards can OC as well, some even better than this.9070XT after OC
That's maybe because on the gpu side they're still far behind, no matter how good these cards (only the XT) look.the problem is that a lot of the improvements here feel like they were begrudgingly doing so. like "ok, you guys have begged, we'll give you a good $600 card with good RT and very good upscaling..."
Especially considering the whole panic and delay over the price which clearly was going to be far higher before everyone yelled at them.
It doesn't feel like they're actually going for the jugular the same way they sodomized Intel with Ryzen. Not to mention we're still not out of the woods yet- the availability needs to be solved too.
that's great!The 9070 XT has unimpressive power efficiency, because they pushed clocks hard. The 9070 is much better.

Better to just use stock results, where the 9070 XT is great.
Great bang-for-buck. Really kicked Nvidia in their dumb nuts.
what else is there? I want a graphics card to play games with. Not this multitasking do it all shit that drives up the price of the card and ruins the market.but they still fall behind nvidia for anything else (and if the 5070 had 16gb...).
so it's dumbed down 5070ti without dlss/cude.... who would've guessed.
I mean everything depends on the price. If it's really available and really 600$... then sure. maybe.
I am in exactly the same spot. Updated 3700x to 5700x3d or cheap. Added more ram. Only gpu remains 3080 10gb.It also depends a lot on what your current GPU is. For me I have a 3080 10gb, so a 20-25% performance upgrade, with 6gb more vram, at $600 the price (assuming you can get that price), is currently the best bang for my buck upgrade that I'm seeing.
It was a broader look at their offering.what else is there? I want a graphics card to play games with. Not this multitasking do it all shit that drives up the price of the card and ruins the market.
feels like you're downplaying the improvements made to FSR4 quite a bit too.
I think it should be around a 45% performance uplift vs a 3080.It also depends a lot on what your current GPU is.

The Sapphire 9070Xt uses a 12V-2x6 with a 3 8pin adapter, however the connector isn't a problem for 300w cards so no need to worry about this.On one hand the power consumption is embarassing especially since AMD used to be better than Nvidia in this dept, especially with 6000 series vs 3000 series

The biggest problem in the NVidia side is the 5070 with 12GB of VRAM. That's is not enough right now for some settings it would otherwise run, let alone in the near future.the problem is that a lot of the improvements here feel like they were begrudgingly doing so. like "ok, you guys have begged, we'll give you a good $600 card with good RT and very good upscaling..."

I can always get another aib that uses 8pin though, right?The Sapphire 9070Xt uses a 12V-2x6 with a 3 8pin adapter, however the connector isn't a problem for 300w cards so no need to worry about this.
Yes, yes, of course. Just throwing it out there that some are apparently using the 12pin connector, so it's best to not go in blind and check what connector they use before you buy one.I can always get another aib that uses 8pin though, right?
AMD just need GDDR7 version to fix all problems with bandwidth limit
Buy it.Any TLDR for this?
Just checked online.Thing is launching tomorrow? Where can you buy it? Best Buy and Amazon don't have anything listed.
waiting for prices like

nope nothing yet.That's what I was about to ask. We don't have the AIB prices yet?
One review I saw showed 849 for the top end XFX Mercury Magnetic Air. That’ll be about the top of the stack .That's what I was about to ask. We don't have the AIB prices yet?

Easy answer, it is shit performance on both 9070xt and 5070 and 5070 Ti. There no need to waste time and effort for an obvious answer.Only reason I wanted to upgrade from 3080 Ti is for path tracing and while its a huge improvement gen to gen on AMD side its not performing for the games I thought to myself I needed more power.
Gamers nexus or hardware unboxed didn't even bench cyberpunk overdrive path tracing, wtf?
Surely someone bench'd those?

26FPS @ 4k RT Ultra in CyberPunk 2077. That is acceptable framerates? We are not the same.5070 Ti (I really don't want that card) shows acceptable performances for Black myth wukong path tracing so why not Cyberpunk 2077 overdrive which performs imho better?
There's no acceptable answer to skip on path tracing benchmarks. A LOT of peoples are stuck with older gen cards who basically only need to upgrade for these monster performance games. I really don't care to get >150 fps on F1 24 raster.
So just to be clear, not a single reviewer tested a 9070 XT cyberpunk overdrive?
SolidQ there was a leak that it performed good in that game, what's going on?
Well no, you wouldn’t game at native 4K.26FPS @ 4k RT Ultra in CyberPunk 2077. That is acceptable framerates? We are not the same.
If you are going to bitch and moan about Path Tracing on a mid-range current gen card then you are most obviously going to game at or near as possible to native 4k. Otherwise, why even bring up the topic?Well no, you wouldn’t game at native 4K.
