OcUK GUIDE TO ORDERING YOUR AMD 9070 GRAPHICS CARD TODAY AT 14:00

You're not comparing the Nitro+ which is what the conversation is about.


Ok, there you go. Oh look its the same because its the same card with a tiny core bump and better cooler.

The 9070 non XT appears to beat the 4070 ti super. Sorry, was browsing enroute to a crispy pint :D

My Nitro+ has been sat at DPD's "International Gateway" for the last two days. Probably means I won't see it now until Tuesday at the earliest. The joys of living in Northern Ireland.

I’d say it will be with you on Monday. Unfortunately, DPD doesn’t do deliveries over the weekend in Northern Ireland, as far as I can tell.

My 9070 shipped on Friday, and I received it on Monday.

They still fall flat on their face at times though so it's swings and roundabouts
 
not everyone cares about ray tracing performance

True, but its only fair to compare the whole feature set. Some people do care, and unfortunately it looks like gamers will be made to care as some games are coming out where it is compulsory (IE Indiana Jones) - that's likely to become more commonplace too.

Im not too bothered about RT either due to the performance hit but if more and more games are going to have it baked in, then I'm forced to take notice.

RT is just like Tessellation was before.

Initially it’s extremely hardware intensive. Not helped by overdone implementations. I remember everything seemed to have over exaggerated cobbled streets, roof tiles and scaley skin to new a few.

Now it’s just part of the feature set and being used all the time and you don’t even think about it.
 
Honestly when PT is important. i.e. when Nvidia mid cards can run it at 1440p over 80fps I will take notice. For the time being 9070xt RT is more than fine and will be fine for this gen.

Edit - At the moment it feels like an artificial advantage that Nvidia/Shills like to throw around because a 4090/5090 can run it at just past 60fps

Well, looks like I have a pulse coming tomorrow for £619. I was doing the dishes and noticed a ping on my watch, ignored it, finished what I was doing then had a look. It was still available so placed an order.
That better not be from the same place as me where I've had an order in since 8/3...

Rain forest place, could potentially be a brick.
I've been trying to order the nitro+ pre-order on here but the payment won't go through so opted for this instead.

but the seller is rainforest, not a third party.

when mine arrives I'll tell the DPD guy to wait until I open it up

9070XT pulse OOS that was quick

Please correct me if I'm wrong as I've not really looked at path tracing. Doesn't path tracing fall flat on its face for most (if not all) GPUs
Yes it's the most demanding even the 4090/5090 can't do it without DLSS etc, Think of it as full on "real" raytracing and what's called raytracing as RT lite.
