it feels like such a saving compared to what I was expecting to need to payy 900-1200 for a 5070ti or a 5080 and yeah at half my top it sure feels like a great deal

Yea and that makes the whole experience even better, I pray AMD keep pushing this VFM and we get some proper price war going on again.

Ah this looks a bit better, I have a new monitor and new to the AMD drivers and for some reason the first run wasn't going over the 180hz of the monitor. This run did manage to get into the low 200fps a few times, after a few tweaks to vsync and all that jazz.

I dunno, I'm old school, I remember when top end GPUs were cheaper than these mid tier cards (only just if you allow for inflation admittedly).
So they all seem expensive, but at the same time I've just resigned myself to accept it these days.
But you're right that these days these would be considered value for money.

Nice. What GPU did you upgrade from?
Gigabyte Gaming OC 9070 (non XT)
-150mv Undervolt
+100 Core
2750 Vram
+10% Power
(probably has more in the tank, that's just a quick and dirty tune)
Core Ultra 285k
Asus ROG Strix Z890-F motherboard
2x 24GB V-Color Manta CU-DIMM @ 8800 MT/S
Win 10 22H2 (best OS for Perf without using stripped versions)
I don't know if it affects the score but my Core Ultra 285k in my work rig is power limited to 180w (just as an fyi)

A top end card in 2006 was £350-400, so when you allow for inflation that's near £600-700 in today's money then we have many many more advances in graphics tech in recent years which has no doubt cost a fortune in R&D..

And the 290 was $399 in 2013, which is around $545 in 2025. And in 2013 I think it was the 3rd best gaming card after the 290X and GTX TITAN. I think it remained the best until the 900 series came along near the end of 2014. Now $545 is about enough for a 9070 non-XT, which I think is something like the 12th best GPU to date (according to TPU).
Also I think the £ was stronger back then so I think we got better prices relative to the $.

But on topic, after opening my case I discovered in my rush to install the 9070XT I'd just used one split 8pin cable rather than both individual ones. Seems to have made little difference *except* I can now use fast memory timings without it crashing straight away. Still doesn't seem worth using for the stability loss given the miniscule performance gain when I tested it though, but maybe it will be more stable overall at any given settings now?

Here's non xt Steel Legend OC version vs 6950XT (XFX) in back to back runs in same rig, drivers, all stock settings etc -
6950 is moving to replace a 3060 in the pc at my holiday flat (last best mid range card Nvidia did IMHO) in an AM4 rig with 5800x3d, might try and get some benchs of both cards on that pc as well.

What? forgot already?
I was the 6950XT guy. Although the last 2 months has been done with a 980ti. Wasn't originally going to buy anything right now but the weather haven't improved enough yet so tires are postponed a month. What a stroke of luck that was . Going from the 6950 XT to the 9070 has costed me around 180 quid after selling the 6950

but fundementally these are consume goods usually line go down in price for the same performance
Going to be overhauling my water-cooled 5800x3d and 6800xt system https://builds.gg/builds/xproto-l-custom-loop-34215 to an air cooled minisforum 7945hx3d and sapphire nitro plus 9070xt. I will really miss the water-cooled build it is so quiet but looking forward to seeing how quiet I can make this system without to much performance loss. If anyone has any undervolting tips I would very much appreciate
I’m tempted to swap the vibration pads on the Noctua fans to the white ones as it would definitely help with that contrast!
