The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

according to amd fsr4 is in kcd2, not sure if this means coming soon are already but. https://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/technologies/fidelityfx/super-resolution.html

It says you have to enable it in the in-game overlay but there is no option at all. It looks like it may have been causing crashes when I Googled it.

ah ok makes sense

Managed to get my Pulse running at -95mV which has helped gain me a few frames.

I'm at -75mV, with 2764MHz VRAM (fast timings) and, up to last night, +10% PL. I shifted the power limit back to 0% and it was a case of gained a little, lost a little between different benchmarks compared with +10% - but quieter as the fans didn't go as high as often, plus it uses less power overall. Will need to try -ve PL settings now.

Finally caved in and bought an Asus prime OC 9070 xt. Feel a little gouged on the price of £713, but it's being delivered tomorrow. Anyone else have this model?

I'll claw back a couple of hundred selling my 3070 FE hopefully.

All AIB cards this gen are mostly plastic EXCEPT the Nitro which is premium looking. That’s why I love the reference coolers of the past and struggled to let go of my 7800XT (not for the performance but for the looks lol).

Video here comparing 7800 and 9070

Its good to see the PC game community alive and kicking!

Time to ditch the Nvidia and go red. Please excuse the colour scheme, it wasn't changed since the RTX 3090 FE.

Great bit of engineering this card btw, performance aint bad either.

Good to see you all too.

Hey question do you think ill get away with a 650 watt psu for a 9070xt .

My OC is pulling 330w with my CPU pulling 125W under max load, so depending on what the rest of your rig is then you'll probably be okay if its a gold or upwards PSU.

I've still not used the fake resolution stuff or the fake frames stuff. Or RT for that matter.

Why? it's free frames and it looks amazing

Edit: I mean FSR4 not FG

 

[hornetstinger]

I don't use FG unless I have to. I'm already getting 100+fps in most games.

I have a 9070xt reaper with a 5900x on a corsair 80+ 650watt PSU and it seems fine, it often pulls back 300+watts when gaming and no issues as of yet.
YMMV

I was talking more about FSR4,the card is fast enough so I don't have to use FG

Doesn't feel amazing, though.

FSR is scaling? I just use native. Why would I use 1080p in game textures then scale to 1440p?

also all the games I loaded just show FSR3

 

[Case1987]

I was talking about FSR4,FG is only useful at 60fps+,but I have only ever used it once on Cyberpunk

 

[Rup]

Frame gen only works properly when you're at say 90 fps+, not at say 30 where the latency is awful.
So basically useless as 90 fps+ is fine anyway.

But not fast enough that you don't have to use upscaling?

I think that's sort of what annoys me with the fake resolution stuff, rather than giving us better hardware AMD and Nvidia gave us a slight hardware improvement and then just hyped a software improvement and everyone seems pleased about this. It also seems to mean Debs can now not worry about optimising stuff if they just sort this software feature so everyone can just play at a lower resolution instead.
What are we going to be doing with DLSS5 and FSR4, rendering a game at 480p and upscaling to 4K or 8K?

RT is at least trying to improve the visuals, whether or not it always succeeds but currently the performance impact is pretty large.

If it’s a decent gold standard one it will be fine. I have a 9070 XT pulse with 7800X3D, 32GB DDR5 6000, 2x NVMe drives all powered with an EVGA 650w gold PSU.

interesting thanks

Me neither.

Will have a look a FSR4 via optiscaler with RT in Cyberpunk after I finish my first (yes, first) play through.

My non XT is happily chomping through that as is at 1440p ultra.

If I start tinkering now I'd also start chucking mods at it and get distracted and probably not finish the game.

 

[Foliedelanuit]

I do think upscaler stuff gets overhyped, at least for me at 1440p. I had a 5070ti recently, so gave DLSS 4 a whirl (coming from 'only' having FSR 2/3/XESS on AMD) and it was... fine. Sorted some of the shimmery stuff but not like a big bump up in res or detail. Think it's most interesting for extending the life of older cards or lowering your energy little by a bit.
