The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

Got my 9070 Pulse on Friday (24 hours after ordering, with free 5 day delivery I might add, well done OCUK). Installed in place of my 6600XT Nitro+, updated driver and rebooted. No issues at all, very impressed. This is how the GPU experience should be! Haribo too!

Have to say in my limited testing, 4K games with FSR3/4 are performing very well

What CPU are you pairing with the 9070??
 
I recently returned my 5090 and have been trying a temporary 9070XT out on Linux again, works pretty solid now, just some performance loss that should get fixed in time (mainly with RT and FSR4) I think I'm going to go this route tho (9070XT + Linux) since it works great for vast majority of games I'm currently playing, just waiting to see what deals come up etc. so far I've seen hellhound at £650 and XFX quicksilver for £611 (this is one I'm leaning towards) however I might buy a top tier one like Red Devil or Nitro+

Depends on if you want something that is built well and looks decent too. Otherwise there's only about 5% difference in performance between the lower end models and the top ones.
I have a glass sided case and wanted something that also looked good so I went with the Nitro+.
It's been running -100mV undervolt for a few months now, seems to have got better with age.

I’m looking to get back into my PC so I’ve just treated myself to a Red Devil 9070 Xt for £591.20 (to be precise) from an well known online store where it’s already £50 off (£739.99) with 20% off first credit order on 12 months BNPL and with payday I’ll just pay it off in one :D this will be the fastest card I’ve ever had my 9900k will definitely be sweating but it’ll give me an excuse towards end of the year to upgrade my mobo/cpu :) the cheapest 5070 Tis are already £200 more expansive with the more premium models in line with the red devil are £300 more expensive… looking forward to receiving this!

Hi, ok I settled for the AsRock Taichi 9070xt for £649.99 and it looks stunning, was mostly £729.99 elsewhere, very happy with it.
 
I'm looking at getting a 9070XT, either the Gigabyte Auros or the XFX Mercury. I would look at the Magnetic Air version of the Mercury, but I'm very OCD about colours and the red tipped fans would set it off(yes I'm strange, deal with it). Does anyone know where they sell replacement fans and if they sell custom versions or like-for-like replacements?
 
For some reason I always seem to come up below par, looking at some of the results in this thread. Would anyone be kind enough to dissect this for me and maybe point me in the right direction. Many thanks.

Ryzen 7700
Sapphire Pure 9070XT (-80mv +10%)
32GB DDR5 6000Mhz CL30 (EXPO enabled in BIOS)

You are above average for your CPU so aren't below par for your system. Not many people run Timespy with stock GPU.
GPU score in Timespy is still effected by the CPU and RAM.
I persinally don't see anything to worry about with your OC settings. Your CPU will be slightly bottlenecking this GPU at 1440.

Other factors:
Memory frequency and timing, you havent stated if these are overclocked. If not this will be losing points to other systems.
If you have Samsung GDDR6 Modules on your Pure they will be losing you some points due to their slacker timings.
Temps, most people run high fan rpm to keep their GPU as cool as possible for the benchmark. This GPU is very temp sensitive.

I achieved 34k GPU score on my Nitro+ but I have a very heavily overclocked CPU and RAM. Also I was running -175mV, 2800 on Mem with fast timings and 10% as Timespy allows ridiculously low UVs that aren't stable in games.

This is really some fantastic info and plenty I never even thought about - no nothing, at all, is overclocked. (not even the fans!)

Well that's pretty good news since I installed it yesterday I felt something was off - for example, on my 6800XT in, really any game, but let's take BFV, using Adrenalin to cap FPS to 118 and the AMD overlay to monitor frame rate, outside of actual fps drops, it would LOCK at 118.

With this 9070XT it's constantly fluctuating, erratic, like, 117, 119, 118, just standing in an empty server staring at a wall - yeah it doesn't affect game play but it's something I don't understand, I have never had this fluctuation before.

Another strange behaviour, take Control Ultimate Edition. It says my GPU is at 99% yet the GPU clock is like 2600 ish.

There seems to be 'odd' behaviours which I absolutely did not experience on my previous GPU's over the last decade.

It's good to know the benchmark was at least on point.

With my 6800XT I got 6800XT performance, but what I NEVER got, was behaviours which had me screwing my face up and scratching my head and poking around in settings with a confused look on my face.

I've not experienced anything different from my 7900 XTX to this with regards oddities.
I never trusted the GPU % on my 7900 XTX and dont on this either. Like you say, it doesn't always make much sense in certain games.
I think my FPS is pretty locked down though, if I use Radeon chill it seems to be very stable. It may drop an FPS but I can't say I've ever paid that much attention.

Welcome to RDNA 3/4 strange behaviour. I've got used to it.

Cheers.

Well, since Adrenalin has it's own FPS cap (and many games also) it's been a LONG TIME since I used Afterburner/Rivatuner, but decided to give it a shot and yeah I dunno man, with the 9070XT came me installing new drivers, so I dunno if something changed to monitoring in the more recent AMD drivers but Afterburner/Rivatuner worked a treat, locked 100FPS no fluctuation, frametime graph flatlined, a beautiful sight. I guess I will stick with that for now.

You need a nuclear reactor to run that game, same as Oblivion remastered, (unless you're into the new trend of FAKE resolution and FAKE frames - which I HATE BOTH)

Both those games are an utter disgrace with how they perform VS how they look visually. It astounds me how they can make a game look 10% better than another game, yet required 6x the power to drive, very very odd, I smell Jenson under the table of both the Oblivion Remastered and Doom: Dark Ages titles.

I for one will be sticking with Eternal! And the fine selection of other games which perform ON PAR with their visual fidelity.
