OcUK RX9070 Series Review Thread

harmattan said:
Two variables remain to be seen and will only come to light over next weeks:
  • Actual street price. We've already seen a major uptick from MSRP/RRP from AIBs and resellers. Not as vomit-and-vitriol-inducing as nV, but still.
  • What the janitor screamed when he jumped out of the office closet. We know intial stock is good, but to be seen if a) AMD keeps cranking out the cards over next months, and b) if scalpers scoop up all initial supply

This is a crazy card to scalp though. Who's going to be mad enough to buy one at £700+ from a scalper?

And if the scalpers charge any less than that, what is even the point?

I have to agree, I don't think the margin is there. Nvidia drip feed a market they dominate so it's easy money for scalpers.

E: Plus supply should be fine

don't forget Gibbo said only the first 100 cards of each model will be sold at MSRP and then the prices jump.

I thought it was 100+, so could be 101 out of the 2000 or however many they have :D

Edit:

MSRP is capped quantity of a few hundred, so prices will jump once those are sold through.

then back up to £629.99

Yeh. Massively risky thing to try and scalp in my opinion. There's loads more stock coming and that will only be £60 above RRP and on OCUK (could be cheaper elsewhere).

I hope scalpers try though, and end up losing a lot of money, or having to return them when they realise no profit can be made.

In my room over summer I wouldn't be surprised seeing it hit 105c

thing is if it runs fine at that temp and dont cause a issue it aint that bad. i remember a older amd card i had back in the day never missed a beat and that ran at 105c for three years on all day.

also where is all the 9070 benchmarks ? they all seem to only be benching the XT version.

Probably reviews poorly given the price to the 9070XT.
 
TPU had a 9070 OC review up.

ASUS Radeon RX 9070 TUF OC Review

AMD's new Radeon RX 9070 launches today. It comes at the same $550 price point as NVIDIA's RTX 5070, but offers a 16 GB VRAM size while the 5070 has only 12 GB. The new RX 9070 also managed to catch up with NVIDIA in ray tracing performance and efficiency.

That's fine , but there isn't much or any difference to the premium Aib cards so what are you paying extra for ? The oc only gets you few more FPS which you won't be able to tell the difference

Not as fast as I expected but at it's price MSRP or close to MSRP it's a winner , will be interesting how far it can go overclocked

Only pulse at MSRP ? The other AIB I feel are over priced

Hub mentioned release day prices might not last and prices increase after , AMD originally wanted to price these more

few at msrp but not permanently theres a limited £50 rebate on most MSRP models I think

Well AMDs benchmarks are BS again.

TPU's review has the XT at 35% ahead of the GRE at 4K for raster, matching AMD's claims exactly. Still, GN reported discrepancies in the FFIV results vs AMD's, and it's not clear whether it's down to testing in a different areas or another issue.

I also like the way HWU said the performance gains were below AMD's claims, looking purely at 1440p data, and ignoring their own 4K results that were much closer to the claims at 32%. [Edit: I was wrong here, AMD did claim that at 1440p, my mistake!].

And hey, they could they have enabled FG on one gen and not the other, right?

A good card for the price in the current climate, and surely will sell well considering how scarce and scalped 5070 Ti's are and how utterly trash the 5070 is.
