The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

I've been on a 4K monitor for a while now and usually run games in 4K but occasionally drop down to 1440P for increased FPS which looks fine to me (noting that it's not integer scaling so will lose some sharpness).

Just installed the 9070 xt with a 9800x3d, and now looking to upgrade my old 27" 1080p. I was hoping to go a slightly larger monitor ( 32" max) but unsure of resolution to go.. if I went 4k could I run at max settings? Or will I have to go 1440p? I game battlefield and hell let loose at the moment as my previous rig was too old too run modern titles. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'd go 34" 1440p ultrawide. Same PPI as a 27" only more pixels on the width for extra space :)

I upgraded from 1080p recently and the difference is definitely worth it.

I'm running that setup with an Oled Ultrawide and it's fantastic. I've no urge to go 4k.
 
Sorry for the late reply, I am on my hols with limited service.. thanks for the replies everyone, I won't be upgrading for years so I will probably go down the 1440p route so I can enjoy max settings for a few years anyway.. will look into the ultrawide when I get back..

I have an AOC 1440p oled ultrawide and it's fantastic :)

I would personally go 4K. The 9070XT won’t run every game at 60fps+ maxed 4K native but it will in a decent number, especially with a good UV/OC.

FSR4 is honestly so good that on the quality setting, it is near indistinguishable from native. Running it at FSR4 Q will yield 60+ FPS at 4K in nearly all games, and pushing 100fps or more in many. Even the performance setting is vastly better than FSR3.1 Q and perfectly playable, even to a very picky person like me.

1440P is good, but, in this case, you might as well jump to 4K and then not have to upgrade your display further down the line. If you were on a lower end card, the advice would be very different, but the 9070XT is very capable.

The only case where I still use 1440P (240HZ) is for competitive Esports and COD. For everything else, I use 4K on my 65” OLED TV.

Whilst we are on the subject, please make sure the monitor is OLED whatever you do. That is actually probably a bigger upgrade overall than even 1440p>4K.

FSR4 isn't supported in all games, it's not like soon as you install new GPU all games have FSR4 option.
 
4K vs 1440p isn’t like OLED where you absolutely can’t go back once you’ve seen it, but, it’s still very noticeable. I have often dropped the res to 1440p on my S95C to see the difference on a large screen, and it’s quite stark.

It depends on use case. In single player games, I’d find it quite hard to go back to 1440p due to the detail loss. If I’m sitting around 70+ on SP, I’m happy. And despite me being quite sensitive to frame rate, in single player, I’d take 4K 70fps+ over 1440p 100fps any day.

In competitive, I’m wanting a much smaller screen (ideally 27” or lower) and pushing 200fps or more at 1440p.

Theres no real one size fits all. Well, unless you get a dual mode monitor which can switch between resolutions and frame rates.

Having recently changed monitors from a 27" 1440p, I went initially to a 32" 1440p. It was curved and I couldn't get on with it. Perhaps my astigmatism didn't help matters. But, whilst I had the monitor the drop in PPI was noticeable too. So definitely not something I would personally recommend buying. I then went 4K 32" and it's been great. :) If I can game at 4K with my 6900XT I'm sure your 9070XT will be fine. :)
 
I sound like a broken record here, but, I’ll say it again. If at all possible, short of selling a kidney, please go OLED. Despite what I’ve just said about 4K, if someone offered me the choice between 1440p OLED and 4K LCD, I’d take the OLED without question, despite the detail loss. You can go back to 1440p from 4K, but you absolutely cannot go from OLED to LCD.

My 1440P monitor that I only use for competitive is LCD and looks absolute garbage compared to my OLED TV. Not even due to the resolution, but due to the screen technology. But given I have a 65” 4K OLED there is no way on gods earth that I am spending £600+ for a OLED 1440P monitor to only game competitively, so I just put up with it.

It should be a legal requirement to only go OLED nowadays. But of course if you just can’t save for it or find the budget, you have to do what you have to do.

my weird hdmi issue with my 9070xt
ive tried 3 different hdmi cables and both sockets on the gpu and still get this lol any ideas? dp works fine though but im having to use a tiny tiny screen atm as thats the only dp screen ive got bit weird happened after putting the pc to sleep for 10/20 minutes bizzare
 
That looks like 256 colour setting :P

What happens when you go to display settings when connected to the hdmi monitor? Do you have options to change colour depth/resolution etc?
 
i have in adrenaline but nothing seems to do much
pixel format changes the colour of the weirdness from green to purple though but that literally just gives me the option of a green psychedelic experience or a purple one lol

What happens if you lower the resolution/refresh etc?

Under display adapter properties > list all modes is it showing as 32bit/True colour etc?

It varies on different builds and other factors, but, the game is a big stutter fest and is well known for it. As said, look on any benchmarks/gameplay online and you will see the same thing.

There is no rig out there that will run it stutter free because the issue is with shader caching and EA never addressed it. Anyone who says they notice no stuttering is either just not sensitive to it, or are overlooking it .

On my 7900XTX, it was stuttering a lot at the start and you could see by the CPU usage that shaders were loading in and tanking the frame time. Further into the game, they eased off a lot to the point they weren’t very noticeable. That’s partly because of less shader caching, and also because I simply go used to it and tuned out.

I’ll try it on my 9070XT because I love the game, but I expect no different. The issue isn’t with setups, it’s with the game itself. Monitor refresh, freesync, CPU, GPU may all influence the severity of it, but, it’s a game inherent issue and certainly not something I’d use as a basis to think my setup is faulty.

No, fully agree. It's definitely the game but the stutters aren't hugely noticeable on certain setups and I luckily was one of those with my XTX, 7400 CL34 DDR5 and 13700k.
So checking with my XT would at least show me that the 9070 XT doesn't play well with the game as nothing else will have changed, wouldn't really prove much other than that combo doesn't work well though, so pretty pointless haha.

I'm using a Samsung 144hz 4K mini LED and it's fantastic. Stupidly bright with 2000 cd/m2 and being mini LED it has great contrast and HDR content looks very impressive. Due to being mini LED it does have mild blooming but the occasions that happens are super rare in gaming. I game near a window so the brightness level is extremely important to me.
I changed from an ageing edge lit 1440p 240hz Samsung G7 and I wouldn't go back, the difference is huge.
