I run built in benchmark with full RT settings set to "very high". There are no "high RT" settings in this game, only "medium" and "very high".

Thats odd in the screenshot you shared it said high settings in full rt toggle.
Compared to the very high in the 6800xt image.

Only Sapphire Pulse



UK seems also fine

9x6x6 = about 324 cards in that stack. Wow, from one AIB for one model and it's probably more 5070ti cards that have been made so far from all suppliers.

I noticed this too, but like I said I run the benchmark using very high RT settings.

The benchmark summary says "high RT" (screenshot below), but there are no high RT settings in this game, just "very high" and "medium"

I found my old benchmarks from this game and it says "very high settings" in the summary, instead of "high", so I think it's just a bug after one of the recent updates.

https://www.neogaf.com/threads/black-myth-wukong-pc-benchmark-tool-available-on-steam.1673762/post-269448603

They also changed polish translation, because in the past it was written "bardzo wysoki" (translation: very high) in the benchmark summary, and now it says "silne" (strong), but regardless of the name in the benchmark summary I run the same maxed out RT settings in both benchmarks.

Before (very high) :

After recent updates it says "strong" instead of "very high", even though I'm using the same RT settings.

Many other people have this thought. I am going to try. It should be a but easier than a 5000 series GPU....but I am less and less optimistic.

I don't get why people are afraid this would be supply constrained. They had them ready and shipped to retailers 2 months ago in good numbers. Highly likely they were restocked as well before launch looking at Nvidia.

They will still sell out, but should be back in stock soon and I'd expect the situation to stabilize within a few weeks.

If you want one at release, you'll get one as log as you're quick.

Looking forward to the reviews. All I really want to know is if this would be a worthwhile upgrade from a 3080 for 1440p gaming for the next 3 to 5 years.

They clearly won't be as difficult to acquire as any 5000 series GPUs and I plan to get one. I am hoping my local MC will have some available on the weekend, but I am not getting my hopes up.

The only downside for me is that I am limited to a length of 325mm so that limits my buy options.

The models I want that should be able to easily fit in my Fractal Ridge are:
1. The Gigabyte Gaming OC model. I have a gigabyte motherboard, so why not....
2. Asus Prime.
3. Powercolor Reaper
4. Sapphire Pulse or Pull
5. XFX Swift
6. Asrock Steel Legend.

I badly want this for my Bazzite/SteamOS living room PC, but my 7800XT is still a viable GPU and I wont sell that until I have a 9070XT safely in my hands and installed in my PC. Of course the wild card will be is if Bazzite support will be immediately available.

I more want the 9070XT for improved ray tracing and FSR4. There won't be a huge reason for me to swap out my 7800XT if those areas end up underwhelming.

This is one of the few times I feel comfortable with high hopes for AMD.

It absolutely should be.

 

[Autistic_Pancake]

I suspect this will be a "monkey's paw curse" launch: 9070 XT performs as expected and it all seems good, but in less than 10 months AMD comes out like "Hey, we re-considered our decision not to make a flagship GPU, so please meet 9090 XT, a direct competitor to RTX 5080 Ti, blah-blah-blah now go and buy it, come on, we have lots in stock!".

If that happens and you want to upgrade then do it.

Doubt it. They said that they will have more powerful cards on the next architecture so a probably couple years from now.

We may see a 24GB version with say GDDR7 and mild OC in a year at most to compete with Nvidia’s “Super” refresh.

 

[Autistic_Pancake]

Lots of us want to get 9070 XT because it's "the best AMD GPU of this generation", and barely anyone is looking at non-XT version. For some people, the same goes for 9070 XT vs a hypothetical 9090 XT. I'd prefer to know what to expect in near future, rather than spending money blindly on what might end up being a mid-range product.

It IS a midrange product. High-midrange. Which is why it does not compete with 5080 or 5090 (and their price). Just because it is the fastest AMD currently has does not change that.

 

[SolidQ]

, so please meet 9090 XT

yeah divide it by every country, store, state.... and you got less than 1 card per retailer! YAY !
Shame zotac is not doing AMD cards.
I didn't had AMD since hd7870 ? Sapphier I think

That would make little sense tbh. Looking at the competition, it will make sense for them to do their best to be competitive next gen with 3nm instead of rushing out an entirely new chip. Nvidia will absolutely release 5080ti and I bet the 5070 super, since they simply have more chips configurations to play with, but AMD can compete on price by focusing on fewer cards in higher supply (maybe release an OC version, 9075 and 9075xt).

They need to be the sensible alternative and start establishing a large base. They don't need to go for the top 5%

I have Lian Li x Dan Cases A3 so I'm eyeballing the same models, my Corsair PSU RM750x takes a lot of space. And I'm also gaming on Linux lately CachyOS, and AMD has better drivers on Linux.

I walked into my local PC store and they said that they have plenty of stock in the back. Im planning on a walk-in buy.

That Sapphire Pulse looks damn good.

I’m eyeing that and the Powercolor Red Devil and Hellhound.

You have solid points. I think the pessimism is mostly down to trauma lol.

I'm still on the fence on getting one. It would mostly be a hedge against possible tariffs and inflation which might just take off like a rocket in the us.

But if the price is only going to go up $50 as a warning shot, I can avoid playing games with buying, waiting, and possible selling a card without even using it. I like my card now. Just considering the investment.

 

[JRW]

Of course the one game I was hoping to play through again someday with full path tracing ends up being the worst result lol.
To be fair there are a few settings you can tweak in Indiana Jones which greatly increases FPS instead of just using the Very High preset, just not sure how much it'll help the 9070 result.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

What do you mean not great? Most people consider DLSS3 to be outstanding…it’s just no longer apex.

You people are weird

Thx - this is very helpful! My PSU is a rather old Corsair HX750w - so gunning for the ones which are within that spec.
1st choice is Sapphire Pulse, or Power Color Reaper for that reason (hoping it's the MSRP model and available tomorrow morning) - but will also keep an eye out for Asus Prime OC, which seems to fall in that spec. Other mid-OC'ed version are either 800w PSU recommendation or white color which I am not that into...

You can always use mods to mod DLSS to FSR or XeSS. Modders already mod DLSS to FSR3 so why not FSR4 in the future in any Nvidia sponsored title, the same why folks were replacing FSR2/3 with DLSS3.

Plus I'm not so keen on raytracing espacially path tracing just now anyways, just wanted a good upscaler to replace any shitty AA solutions devs put in nowadays with probably an excuse that ML Upscalers will take care of it anyways, be it a dev or publisher.

And I suspect Doom Dark Ages will have fairly good optimised raytracing work loads, I bet.

Universal Upscaling - XeSS FSR

This mod replaces DLSS with the latest version of XeSS or FSR in games that don't normally support them.

Closer look at PowerColor Reaper.

BTW.

Someone did fit in Sapphire Nitro+ in NR200P...

The other model I'm interested in is

GIGABYTE RTX 9070 XT GAMING OC Specs

AMD Navi 48, 2970 MHz, 4096 Cores, 256 TMUs, 128 ROPs, 16384 MB GDDR6, 2518 MHz, 256 bit

www.techpowerup.com

For me it's either Sapphire Pulse, Reaper or this Gigabyte.

I'm staying away from Asus since their mobos have issues with bios.

And as of AsRock, the mobo I use have solid bios but mid level VRMs, their GPUs could have coil whine. Not saying that they will have it but it is just a possibility for me.

ASRock RX 9070 XT Steel Legend Dark Specs

AMD Navi 48, 2970 MHz, 4096 Cores, 256 TMUs, 128 ROPs, 16384 MB GDDR6, 2518 MHz, 256 bit

www.techpowerup.com

But there is a steel legend dark model without RGB fans and it's still fairly compact model. I'm keeping that in the back of my mind but it's a last option for me.

Depends on comments about coil whine.

From what I checked I should mount 325mm to maybe 330mm GPU in length they way my RM750X is mounted in my A3 case but I'm leaving a margin of error.

And some place for cable management, since there's this cable sticking from my mobo right around my GPU and PSU. And I don't want any surprises or I don't really wanna search for a new SFX/SFX-L PSU just to fit a new GPU.
