Just swapped out my aging Vega 56 Pulse with a 9070 XT Reaper which is barely larger than the Pulse. Not going to push it until tomorrow as currently on a Corsair TX650W PSU and have a replacement arriving tomorrow so fun to be had then. Small bag of haribo was the cherry on top
I think you do, that's what was confusing me. 3dmark is available though other sources than steam.Showing as £2.49 for me....
I might as well buy it considering the amount of money I've been spending lately
EDIT: Oh wait .... do you not need to also buy 3d mark too ?
if you undervolt you'll actually use more power don't ask me whyI just plugged in my XFX 9070 XT Mercury OC... it consumes about 310W playing Cyberpunk.. I haven't tinkered much at all. but I'm impressed. I came from a 4090 (sold that to get a 5090 but eta was June)... Bought this card instead but it looks like I'm going to keep it
on a 650w psu its been running fine
looks like one of my older builds
solid sides and it worked so......
you just reminded me how much I over paid…Good reason to move to a higher wattage one though and I can now donate my current PSU and the Vega to my daughter for 1080p gaming.
Don't despair mate I paid 716£ for mine.Don’t congrat me, I paid £680 from a competitor.
I justified paying £110 over ‘MSRP’ cos I’ve been without a card for 4 months now, failed to secure a 5080 and now a msrp 9070xt. In the end, I just decided to take the L.
I think that was a faulty card with a badly mounted heatsink unless that was someone else
I only have the 9070 Reaper not the XT, so it's limited to 242 watts, but at that power it's running 52 degrees on the core and is inaudible.
. If I'm lucky I'll have around Monday or the day after. If your wondering why I picked the non XT then it was simply because the retailers in my area were charging around 20 to 30% more for the XT depending on the model versus the 9070 I got. The only retailer who offered XT's at MSRP didn't handle it very well as their shop was doing shady thing. Pressing buy on any other item in the store worked but not on the MSRP XT's and then they were gone 5-10 minutes later.
with a tidy undervolt and memory OC the non-xt scores surprisingly close to the XT and at a lot fewer watts, it's a pretty tidy deal that will pay dividends in summer.Waiting for an Asus Prime 9070 non XT but I think it is getting delivered by snails as it is taking ages to arrive
