The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

konditv · 25 May 2025 at 20:47

Question for 9070XT owners who play CS2. At launch when looking at yt reviews, the card had some underwhelming results in terms of fps. How is it today, did new drivers increased your performance?

I think I replied to your Reddit post yesterday. The difference between leader board positions will likely be 0.01fps and likely won't be stable overclocks for gaming.

Thanks. In steelnomad 300 points means 3 fps. So what can be fps difference on 1440p gaming?

3 fps won't make any difference. You wouldn't notice it. I would go for a GPU that has a higher wattage but then again, You still aren't guaranteed a well performing card.

I wonder if AMD can get the idle VRAM memory usage decreased, mines hovering at 2.1GB just in windows

It more likely being windows and other programs grabbing some of it.

Does anyone who has a 9070XT play Apex Legends? It feels like I'm getting micro stutters early game but FPS remains solid. They do eventually go away as the match progresses, but it just doesn't feel 144FPS with a VRR monitor smooth.

Is it just apex or other games. I had some horrible stutters recently and it was a usb device misbehaving.

If it’s crashing at stock surely that’s a case for an rma?

I actually found the issue with cp2077. I had my ddr4 clocked too high. Reset to normal xmp and has been fine since

Hi there,

I had a question for 9070XT owners. Why does my 9070xt VRAM show as:

16384MB in GPU-Z

16304MB in AMD Adrenaline / CPU-Z

15732MB in DXDIAG & display driver settings

15.5GB in Task manager.
The latter is the most concerning, I've never seen a 16GB card register is 15.5GB

Is this just a windows error if GPUZ/CPUZ and Adrenaline are recognizing it?

How are people finding FSR4 support? The official page is looking pretty anaemic - not sure anything has been added since launch. Everyone having to use Optiscaler on a game by game basis?

That would be windows grabbing .5GB for its own use.

I find myself using Optiscaler for a lot of titles as official support isn't there or arrives much later. Also Game Pass versions tend to get left out a lot either in driver support or game level support. It's annoying to have to use but at least Optiscaler works.

Any idea why no other graphics card seems to show up this way? I've never seen this happen before at least

Is there any reason i would need to use all three 8-pin's on the Gigabyte XT Gaming OC?
i.e. does that GPU exceed the power provided by two 8-pin connrectors on decent PSU...

I don't think you can use just 2, cards usually won't boot if you do that?

To answer your question though: no, they don't need 3 (Sapphire Pulse and Powercolor Reaper have 2, for example).

I don't know if the Gaming OC has a higher power limit though. The Mercury and Taichi do, which both use 3x 8 pins.

It's an OC card that uses around 330w stock, each 8 pin provides 150w, though I don't really know why it doesn't draw the extra 30w from the PCIE slot which can provide up to 75w.

Balancing that can be quite tricky.

Probably just making the system more honest about how it is actually operating.

The FSR4 list has 47 games supported on AMD's community forum and is updated frequently.
https://community.amd.com/t5/gaming...n-anti-lag-2-supported-games-list/td-p/549534

Expect more supported games next week when the 9060XT is launched.

I use Optiscaler is most other games since it's great to be able to compare the difference between XeSS/FSR3.1 and FSR4 quickly.
Optiscaler support is at 210 games but supports many more that haven't been tested.

I’m looking to get back into my PC so I’ve just treated myself to a Red Devil 9070 Xt for £591.20 (to be precise) from an well known online store where it’s already £50 off (£739.99) with 20% off first credit order on 12 months BNPL and with payday I’ll just pay it off in one

this will be the fastest card I’ve ever had my 9900k will definitely be sweating but it’ll give me an excuse towards end of the year to upgrade my mobo/cpu

the cheapest 5070 Tis are already £200 more expansive with the more premium models in line with the red devil are £300 more expensive… looking forward to receiving this!
