The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

LOLs.

I had no idea it was the same driver. Remember driver cache on games with a differeing VRAM amount?

You do understand right ;)

OK,
I'll do a test, I'm curious now... I'm curently on my 5700x3d machine, but my 13600k machine with the 97070xt is in my bedroom and all I did was bung the card in... and bunged teh 6800xt in this machine...I'll do a game bench or two, before and after, for most acurate real world results, or is there a better way?

i think you do have a point about the shader cache etc
might be worth "refreshing" that folder so to speak but the drivers are exactly the same
but yeah the cache thing fair point
again not something i have to worry about because i wont be using the 6500xt im bunging in as the main gaming render gpu but still good point to others that might be relevant
im not saying it will make any difference but i can see how it could for sure
my 2 gpus are far too different for me to be able to do the same test and really prove anything more than the fact the 9070xt is obviously better than the 6500xt lol but yeah thats something i will take to mind for future reference like when i upgrade to rdna5/udna or whatever i do next
 
Done a cyberpunk bench but assassins creed shadows is doing a 12gb update... Because of course it is.

Once that's done I'll nuke the driver and run the same benches again.

I'm genuinely curious as to what the results will be now.
 
just spotted something.........
if this was to see what would happen with the shader cache when the vram amount differs........
9070xt and 6800xt both have 16gb i think? i might be wrong but this might be the situation that
doesnt show this issue if that makes sense
im probably more than jsut slightly wrong but worth me mentioning as i spotted it

Yeah I'm not sure on that.. I'm just putting fresh drivers on now but both my 6800xt and 9070xt are 16gb

I need a short length card for fitting in my SFF case and this model has caught my eye

Is this a decent model? My experience with Gigabyte cards is generally positive?

Is this a decent upgrade over a 7900XT Nitro+?

In a word no not really. There will be some edge cases. You will get FSR4 upscale and ray tracing performance will be improved. From a raster perspective roughly 20% would not be enough for me.
 
Would FSR4 and better RT not make up for that smaller increase though? I suppose if raster is all your after then likely not. Depends on @Dirk Diggler and his priorities.
Yeah it’s a tricky one. From a Nerd perspective I would say go for it. But that’s not for everyone. Op needs to check the games he plays to work out if it is worth it to him.

To be honest, it's a difficult one to answer because I avoid Ray Tracing due to the crippling performance hit and therefore don't actually know what I'm "missing".

If you have cyber punk try that with varying ray tracing settings to see what that looks like. Do bare in mind it does put extra load on the cpu and that can be a factor aswell.

Is the 9070 XT a capable RT card or is it still Nvidia for that stuff?
I think the 5070ti might edge it, but they are very close. Not had any problems in borderlands 4 and RT is on all the time. Say that FRS4 is so good now I cannot tell the difference between that and native.
 
Fancy a bit of an upgrade from my 7800XT. Is the 9070 a decent step up? I'd be selling the old card which makes the price not too bad if the performance is there.

If you're struggling to get playable FPS (e.g. at 4K), I guess could be worth it, but the upgrade is mild.

The reaper 9070XT is the best physically fitting card being a true 2 slot, standard height, standard length card.
 
Well, full marks to OC. My Nitro + had to be returned last week as I noticed end fan wasn't spinning, I now realise it had never worked and the cooling was somewhat knackered on my card as I have received a brand new card and the temps are incredible. BF6 on ultra and only seeing 50 degree hot spot and same temp on memory. I was seeing 90 degrees memory and high 80 host spot on my old card. Great stuff and I got it back today.
