The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

AMD have denied rumours (from February) of a 9070 XT with 32GB - that does not mean that they can't then release a 9070 XTX with 32GB though.
 
Trying to update all my games that support RT to give a whirl. The RX 6800 XT always felt like a bit of a tease for what could be with RT. Despite being double the RT performance of a PS5, PC games never seem to be as well optimised, the lowest RT settings often are still higher than the consoles get.

So far on my list I've got:

Cyberpunk 2077
Witcher 3
GTA V Enhanced
Hogwarts Legacy
Control
Watch Dogs Legion

Any I have missed that have got a nice implementation to try?
Dying Light 2 looks like a completely different game with RT on
 
@alexp999 Best RT implementation IMO where it actually makes a difference to the game is Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition.
Genuinely impressive use of RT.
I had the first two metro games but never completed them.
Fortunately it only cost me £6.51 on steam to add Exodus Enhanced and the DLC.

Might be a while at 40mbps download though before I can play it.

I've also got another 2TB NVME on the way for all these games, they're getting so big and it takes me so long to download, I don't like deleting and reinstalling.

i wonted trust the steem download speed, it tells me im getting 100mps but things still download at the same speed(time) i used to get when i have a 50mps connection

I find the steam download speed pretty accurate, but at most I get about 4.6 MB/s down. I've got 18 Mbps and 25 Mbps VDSL lines bonded which works out about 40 Mbps in reality.

I've got 20 mins left of Witcher 3 to download, then I'll get Metro Exodus coming down.

GTA V enhanced was pretty impressive. I know it has roots in the PS3/360 era, but I ran the Max RT preset, with no upscaling/FSR etc at 1440p and it was averaging 110 FPS, lowest about 80 FPS like in the car dealership with Frankilin at the beginning.
 
Anyone know if its possible to daisy chain the light bar on the nitro+ into my other rgb fans and use an external controller?
 
the 4080s is going into my sons build. i sold his 4070s..... and i just wanted a new toy so yer.. lol
i did plan on getting the XT but cant find the Nitro+ in stock so just grabbed the none XT

i literally just play squad and Ashes so decided the boy derived the better GPU
Dad's. We really are softies...how my eldest ended up with my 3080 and I with his 3070ti. Now my youngest( he's 16 this month so not so young) is bouncing up and down with excitement as the parts have been slowly accumulating in the loft (with the bracket and psu you sold me)and I've got him a 7800xt (2nd hand)...after playing with my 7090xt, I'm thinking maybe I should just get him same...I'm already on the guilt trip that the eldest got a 3080 (basically the same price as the 7090xt new), and here am I fobbing him off with a lesser priced card...I try and keep things equal. Also, I want both boys to experience the same as me, so now thinking put the 7800xt in the am4 system (16gb vram gives a bit more longevity to the card than the 3080's 10gb) which my wife seems to have pinched off my son anyway, and build both boys new rigs, though should really wait for a level and gcse results. Eldest going to uni (if he gets his grades) andf youngest will be doing computer science for A level, so about time he has his own pc
which 9070 did you plumb for?

I haven't tried it, but the ARGB header on the card is designed to allow you to control the lightbar with your motherboard or external controller.
 
Super happy with my Sapphire Nitro 9070XT! Runs super quiet and temps look pretty good as well. Downloaded 3DMark yesterday and tested different settings with the Time Spy benchmark.

Stock settings: (29891 Graphics score)
-100mV, 2700MHz VRAM fast timing, +10% PL, +150MHz Core (32236 Graphics score)
-120mV, 2750MHz VRAM fast timing, +10% PL, +300MHz Core (32828 Graphics score)

I also did a run where i ran all the fans on max RPM, opened the window for a while and turned up the settings a bit more, which managed to get me the third best score with a 5700X3D+9070XT combo.
Kind of pointless to be honest, but i was curious! :P
-145mV, 2778MHz VRAM fast timing, +10% PL, +425MHz Core (33 365 Graphics score)

we look to have the same out look on life, my parents worked hard and i had a good upbringing in exchange for doing well at school.
i do feel bad for the boys only having a 3080 and 7800xt i cant understand why nobody as called social services yet :cry:

to be honest my old eye genuinely cant tell the deference from the 4070s and 4080s so there both wasted on me.

i really wanted the Nitro+ model but it turns out its all sold out everywhere, so i ended up buying the none XT. i really like the hidden cable(just paid £99 for a cable mode kit and now im hiding it :rolleyes: )
however ive seen the none XT overclocked very well and can match stock XT speeds so ill be very happy.

in squad my CPU sits at 9% usage and the 4080s would be about 70% usage, latter this year there moving over to unreal engine 5 so im hoping for a massive boost from that. with both the 4070 and 4070 i got about 120FPS at 1440 so the none XT i hope will sit in the middle and give me a good gaming experience

i have to be honest, watching part build up would have killed me as a 16yo, you got the NV5 right? the 4070s will look amazing in that case the with bracket you got from me.
its a good chunky card so you may want to thing about an AIO as most air coolers will block it... so sorry dad but now i need a nice LCD AIO...
