People seem to be sticking FSR4 into DLSS games via Optiscaler with some success. Might be worth a shot.

Yeah there's a list of games they tested as compatible/not compatible here, it's growing pretty rapidly too: https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/wiki/FSR4-Compatibility-List

The only one of them I've got installed currently is Deep Rock Galactic though and it's the sort of game where I feel it'd be more difficult to tell the difference given how stylised it is, but I might try it tomorrow. I hope some youtube channel does a side by side comparison test using it, it's more difficult to see differences if you restart each time and I'm too lazy to do a load of recordings myself.

I got a Red Devil and not fussed paying the extra. I run a sff case and the 48c the card runs at saves me having to think about the extra fans I was going to buy. Plus I was going to spend 1.2k on a 5080 originally so I’m still 500 better off which will go towards a new 3d printer instead.

you are right about the temp mine sits at 45 in a bigger case while playing with the odd 46 and assume the red devil cools even better

@will13 You mentioned you were planning to use your 9070 under Linux earlier in the thread, how are you finding it? I'm presuming you are using Arch rather than jumping through hoops on a Ubuntu based distro?

I've actually just got round to start fiddling about on Linux, I installed EndeavourOS (which is the distro I prefer) but for some reason FF7 Rebirth kept throwing me DX12 error and other games wouldn't launch, that's with Mesa 25.01 and kernel 13.5, so just to check I've installed Kubuntu with latest "stable" kernel (13.6) and kisak mesa which is what I had to do back around launch of XTX couple years ago, anyway there working fine on that so something is up, I'll properly take a look in the morning

Hehe, i'm doing the reverse of what you've done. I started with Ubuntu and had good success so far following some posts on L1techs forum and plan to mess with CachyOS in the morning :)

Thanks for replying!

Edit - I did the same as you under Ubuntu - mainline, kisak and firmware.

have you made sure you have the latest firmware from the linux-firmware repo?
 
Got my haribo today which came with a 9070 XT. Of course the haribo was consumed first.

Been testing out a bunch of games but mostly played Lies of P. Previously my 2070 super was getting 120 fps and would dip all over the place. The 9070 XT resulted in a stable 144 fps and at the highest settings. It was so satisfying to play!

Unfortunately the support for Linux is a bit patchy right now as a few of my other games ran into several issues. Either they wouldn’t start or would lock up my PC. None of my flatpak apps would pick up the card so those were also ruled out. VR… also a no go.

I’m just writing it off as launch day woes and waiting to see what comes of it later on. Running the latest kernel, mesa drivers, and firmware as others have previously noted. But for now it can run the games I want to play. If I’m desperate enough I have a windows install somewhere.

Yeah I'm hopeful within a couple week most things will be more solid, and within a few month FSR4 might have a proton command or better yet .DLL are out, and optiscaler FSR4 is 100% working

If I'm still with the 9070XT next month I might have to use Windows to play TLOU Part 2 so I can use FSR4

I'm not a fan of "gaming" distros, have nothing against people who made them or those that use them, I just find them overly bloated with stuff I don't need

One thing I have noticed playing bit of FF7 Rebirth tonight on it is that stutters are different to windows, in the first town at start of game it stutters like hell on Windows but on Linux it's more like a slight slowdown now and again

Oh and I dunno if mangohud is bugged but apparently my pulse has hit nearly 3.3ghz lol

Was out all day today, and DPD ignored my delivery instructions and stuck it on my doorstop all day:

Cheers driver.

Ah well, no-one stole it 6 hours later so I thankfully have the Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 XT in my possession now :)

Did you let them know about the mistake made when they left the box by the door?
 
How does undervolting on the Pulse 9070 perform in games? How close is the FPS to the base 9070XT?

Got a Pulse 9070 arriving early next week!
:D
