Those models are already overclocked +200 over base so not surprising they only do ~150mhz more on core.

Hardly worth shouting about if you can get the pulse at MSRP, other than purely on looks

Is the pulse not the standard card?
But putting that 23% into fps at 1440p, is there any significant difference that makes this a viable purchase now? I guess, also the fact that my 6950xt is under water, so factoring a new wb at somepoint in the near future, would also add to the cost too.9070xt is 23% faster

I don't think you'd buy an AMD card if they charged you half an apple and a hug.
Personally I think it's really good value, I don't care for frame gen as most games I play are online, i've also just finished watching the JTC video, he's saying frame timings are a lot better on AMD so games feel really smooth and he's had 0 issues with drivers which is also good.
This is going to be an Amazing upgrade on a 1080ti.
I am thinking of going for the Pulse now if I can get it for 570.

No.
There is no referance cards this time.
I need to get to my PC in time firstI'm hoping you don't get a successful connection to OC website before me
Purposely booked a short day just in case but each day has at least one surprise for me!I'll restart my router in the morning so it's fresh
I'll be looking for your update post, lol.Yeah it's the base card which looks to be MSRP and only few FPS in it
It's base model at lower cost and looking to be going on sale at MSRP
I think that may be the card I go for. I did want the Taichi or Nitro+ but after looking at the OC results, it's really not worth paying £130+ for 4fps.
unless it's black myth wukong which amd seems to struggle with yes?

Thanks Humbug I’ve corrected my error a few posts earlier and I’m humbled on the outpouring of corrective measures to counteract my poor A Level maths education back in 1998. Only joking. Thanks for explaining.69% vs 100% is 31 percentage points, not 31%, that's not how it works.
If the 7800 XT is GPU A with the 9070 XT being GPU B then GPU A needs to gain the performance relative to its self to reach GPU B, there is an easy way to calculate that, you divide GPU B by GPU A, so 100 / 69 = 1.449, the number after the decimal point is the percentage GPU A needs to gain to reach GPU B, so 44.9%.
To proof it you can simply add the 44.9% to GPU A, 69+ 44.9% = 99.981 rounded up that its 100%.
So the 9070 XT is 45% faster at 1440P
Yeah Just buy the MSRP pulse save yourself £130 and overclock it yourself.
I mean, in some cases, it's as high as 8%-10%, but it's nothing to get worked up about—especially assuming you can't overclock it to that level yourself.

TPU now has 36% better on relative performance charts lol.69% vs 100% is 31 percentage points, not 31%, that's not how it works.

Does the AMD software have a similar feature to NVIDIA shadowplay where you can click 1 button to take a screenshot and click another to save the last 30 second clip (or whatever you set it up to)?

This release has made me really happy, AMD have brought something that was badly needed and this can only be good for the consumer.
Their price to performance now makes them a viable contender again, I can hope that the release after this they step it up again and I will have an upgrade choice again.
This looks like a fantastic card.
Edit: Was forgetting there are two cards! Even better.
