The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

I'm still sitting on a 9700xt Nitro. Long story, but I'd ordered it on launch from a competitor, competitor had a shipment stolen (the one with my 9070xt). So, the order was delayed a week. In the meantime, I was miraculously able to get a 5090. I used the 9070xt for all of five days before the 5090 arrived.

The Nitro was the best AIB card I've used in a while due to it's classy looks and the innovative hidden power port. Better, it ran cool and overclocks like a champ. Such a good card.

I can't help but think now when I play a game that I paid £1300+ extra for very little noticeable difference. So the 9070xt sits here unused in its box.

Could sell it on the members market.

Flip the 5090 and don’t overthink it…..
 
Do I need to change anything in bios to get the 9070xt to play with my X570 and 5950x better?

I’m sure I remember something about link or something ?

Those are some impressive performance gains from a driver update. Would have been nice to see a few more games benchmarked.

Cyberpunk is exactly the same performance since launch on my 9070XT. AMD would normally mention peformance increases in the driver notes if there was any substantial gain but maybe they haven't tested thoroughly.

Nice to see.

AMD's 'fine wine' reputation continues to be proven by new RX 9070 XT benchmarks

AMD GPU owners can continue to boast that their graphics cards age like fine wine as updated drivers show significant uplift over launch day.

Seems odd to me that if a game was released and didn't run well at launch but got better after a few patches it'd be labelled as an unoptimized mess that took a number of patches to fix.
When AMD do it with drivers it's called "Fine Wine". Makes it sound like a good thing.

I don't see it like that. It's just natural improvements as a product matures. Which everyone wants to see and is a positive news story. No way can anybody hit the ground day 1 and get 100% optimal performance and be like, yep nailed it. Lol

And yet we do expect it from other things, like games or operating systems. Do Nvidia do Fine wine? If not is it because they don't bother or because they do get much closer to delivering the full performance at launch? If everyone makes improvements over time why do we make such a big deal out of AMD doing it?
Maybe AMD make more improvements over time? Which might then lead me to think that while you can't expect them to be perfect from the start, is it reasonable to expect better than we get?

Would be interested in nvidia drivers were open source, and how much improvement home coders can get out of the cards- to show whether Nvidia drivers are 100% optimised on release, or that Nvidia never bother to improve them for older cards.
 
surely this isnt right on idle?
nearly 70w
