Competitor rules
Please remember that any mention of competitors, hinting at competitors or offering to provide details of competitors will result in an account suspension. The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK.
Daniel Owen's is saying that IGN's test is most likely an incorrect result since BO6 has to be restarted when settings are changed and the IGN reporter probably didn't do that and may have results from a lower setting. His 7900XT and 7900XTX are getting way lower averages at 4k Extreme settings
If what he says it true then I suspect the IGN results are for 4K Extreme with FSR upscaling so maybe someone can test a 7900XTX with FSR enabled and compare.
Also does Black Ops 6 really require you to restart for settings to take effect?
I watched this earlier and it seems pretty conclusive. The frame rate is too high vs the XT and XTX & RAM usage is suspiciously low.
Talk of needed pre-release drivers stood out to me as well - if everyone else has nerfed drivers then why would this PC have had release ones?
Wouldn't it be funny if the 9070 was actually 26% faster than the 7900XTX.. Of course it wont be.. but just for giggles.. think about it.. thats 4090 territory. I can just see the slogan. "Radeon 9070XT, actual 4090 performance". haha.. gotta lay off the shrooms.

Guys, please stop hyping... it's always better to maintain low expectations
This is how I always look at these releases. Hype is foolish (even AMD proved that with Ryzen 9000 non-X3D)
Was there any GPUs shown from Sapphire at CES? I only saw Gigabyte and Powercolour models of 9070 and 9070XT GPUs shown.
I just prefer them to be 2 slot ideally, unless the 3 slot versions have significantly better cooling.

Although the game is probably not good for benchmarking and favours AMD, the result is still a positive thing. However the article is confusing, it's says it's the 9070xt and then says it's the non xt.
AMD Radeon RX 9070 GPU Benchmarked in Black Ops 6 - OC3D
IGN has benchmarked AMD's Radeon RX 9070 graphics card in Call of Dity: Black Ops 6, and the results are impressive.

As mentioned above, the benchmark wasn't reliable as they didn't restart the game to apply changed settings. So we still don't know.Think this has been mentioned but not posted link

I've also recently been noticing 1440p/4k benchmarks of some recent/upcoming games (e.g. MH Wilds) using well over 12GB VRAM... makes me feel less confident in the longevity of these upcoming 16GB cards. I'm honestly wondering if a fire sale 7900XT(X) would be a better choice.
Not sure if it's been taken into account, but I guess the extreme settings would include ray tracing on, which would make it faster than an xtx in this scenario as and have stated they concentrated on RT with rDNA 4.
Obviously I don't know and I'm just chucking something else out there as conjecture.

"Radeon 9070XT, actual 4090 performance"
This would be awesome
Never going to happen, but that would be how you take marketshare...

I'm reading that with BO6 you get a prompt 'Update Requires Restart' after settings are changed.. surely the guy cant be so dumb to ignore this? And the settings would show different to his claims if he ignored it, right? lol

No he's guessing that's what has happened but he doesn't know if that's the case. The results seem to high but you never know.

Only thing worse than RTGs marketing division, is IGN.
It's unknown if they did or didn't restart the game. As said, it does prompt you to restart if you change anything. But yes it does seem too good to be true.
The VRAM usage thing is a little misleading, most games will allocate it if it's available, but will allocate less if needed and run similarly.

It really depends on where you test the game; as the OC3D article states the results were around what they achieved with a 7900 XT, which the 9070 XT is targeted to replace. Doesn't seem an unlikely result, nor a particularly exciting one.
Same here and it's annoying how people, mainly the manufactures, tout performance improvements when using upscaling instead of like for like raw performance.
Having to review GPUs must be a nightmare these days.
