The Radeon RX9070XT / RX9070 Owners Thread

I finally got my 9950X3D working yesterday - after bending the pins on my motherboard trying to fit it.... - so I've done a couple of quick benchmarks

Firstly, the trusty TimeSpy

www.3dmark.com

I scored 28 051 in Time Spy

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT x 1, 32768 MB, 64-bit Windows 11}

Secondly, and its an odd one but a game I play - Tom Clancy's The Division 2 - nice improvement from my 7800X3D :)

 
Swapped out my 3090FE for my Gigabyte 9070XT OC, looking forward to a day of tinkering.

Performance uplift won't be huge (maybe 20-30%) but cost should be minimal. Will miss RTX HDR, that's very cool, and I've got a Gsync ultimate monitor, which I think should play fine with Freesync.

Happy to throw some money AMD's way, want them to keep on producing decent midrange cards not hobbled by too small VRAM and stock issues.

my Dell monitor is freesync and G-sync
 
After having spent a few days playing with my 9070 XT, overall quite pleased with it's VFM even at £60 over MSRP.
However, my biggest tip is forget GPU upgrades and spend the money on an OLED TV/Monitor instead.
Either my 4090 or 9070 XT look amazing on my oled but much flatter on my LG 4k 165 Hz monitor, which cost £800 3 years ago.
OLED monitors seem to be about 5-£600, will prob get one around black friday.

This is very true.

I swapped to the Asus OLED in my sig and the difference was outrageous.

I feel I'm finally happy with my setup now, really decent overall capability.

I could never go back to a non OLED screen now. Have replaced all my TV’s in my flat with OLED’s and game via PC on a S95C 65”. I do use a normal monitor for competitive high FPS, but that’s it.

The difference with OLED is night and day, and once you see it, you can’t go back.
 
Just did a dirty little test in ONCE human with everything maxed @ 1440p UW with my 9070 prime
PL +10% / -50mv = 255Watts, rough 140 FPS

PL -30% / -90mv = 160watts, rough 124fps

Seriously, 160watts for rough 12% performance loss. Seriously good performance for such a low power envelope. Means the entire system draws less than 260 watts + monitor when gaming!

Yeah AMD pushed well beyond peak efficiency to get 5070Ti performance so the amazing efficiency wasn't captured in the 9070XT reviews but was spotted in the 9070 reviews.
