There's also lots of info in the RDNA4 thread

*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

Jeezus, didn’t realise you were that bricked up. Wasn't your 5080 around that price? I thought that was a bit of a joke, but a 5070Ti at that price? Jesus... :cry::D

9070XT Steel Legend arrived yesterday - my last AMD/ATI card was an ATI 9700 over 20 years ago...

Hardware change was quite painless - downloaded latest ATI Adrenalin and DDU, unplugged network, uninstalled Nvidia components (multiple restarts), safe mode and DDU, 2070Super out, 9070XY back in, boot up and install Adrenalin sorted, plug in network.

It's a mother flipping Christmas tree flashing out the back of the case, so switched off the RGB...

Then started getting CSM messages, this was the less fun bit... I had no idea the hard drive needs to be in a different format to boot, so disabled CSM in bios and it turned into a bios boot-loop. hmmm... did some googling, re-enabled CSM, booted to command line and used MBR2GPT to convert it. Got some "failed to update reagent.xml" error, cue more googling... Realised this was just for some repair, so thought screw it, I'll give it a go. back to bios, disabled CSM and it started to boot into Win10. Got to the login screen and just stopped... I couldn't log in, the keyboard leds went dark and it wasn't working. Had an idea it would probably need to install some drivers with the UEFI change, so left it for a few mins and it all popped back to life. After a few reboots it all seemed good, ace.

Next step - Adrenalin is moaning about AMD Smart Access Memory disabled... back into bios and enable that... sorted...

All seems good. Probably should do a clean windows install sometime tho.

Welcome to the Steel Legend club, I also had to switch the RGB off but due to me being a grumpy old man.

How did you find the build quality? I was very impressed epscially coming from an Nvidia FE card.
 
Got FSR4 up and running on Cyberpunk and the difference between it and FSR3 is startling. It's my first taste of FSR4 and it's impressive how much better it is. There is a program called Optiscaler that can inject FSR4 in.

That was my Timespy from the other night (flagged for using the launch driver and not the most up to date), plus a Speedway one trying the same settings (flagged for that weird time discrepancy thing):

+270MHz
-150mV
2800MHz
+10% Power limit


I can probably keep tinkering and push the scores up a little but I'm happy to drop things back down in the sake of stability, normal gaming I've reduced the below and not seen any issues in the last couple of days:

+150Mhz
-80mV
2800MHz
+10% Power limit

I think I'll echo what a few others have said, really solid feeling update coming from a 2080ti. Pretty much double the performance across the selection of games I've tried, a few cases where it was way more. Ghost of Tsushima on a little run was averaging 115fps with DLSS Q + FG on the 2080ti, it was 220fps on the 9070xt Native and no FG. I was expecting the drop from DLSS to FSR to be the big thing, but honestly it looks pretty damn good in some of the stuff I've tried. Possibly it's just placebo from having much better performance than before, but I'm quite happy it.
