I'm doing a side grade from a 7900 XTX. It's good to see that over 30k is possible. My XTX could get just under 35k graphics score and I thought I'd be dropping to sub 30k. FSR4 and better RT are the reasons for me changing.

Not had much time to play with it yet but I noticed a drop in performance over the time I had - Windows 11 had decided to install an older driver than the one I had installed (25.3.1) which lowered performance. Had to resort to a RegEdit to stop Windows automatically installing device driver updates.
I think with how cool these chips run they must have something decent planned
until 2026 which is now 9 months and counting so ... the unrelenting cycle of hope and disapointment / glory

The RegEdit method I used (that has worked so far) involved adding a new Key (as there was no "Settings" Key on my installation of Windows 11) and a new DWORD:
- Open Registry Editor: Press Win+R, type regedit, and press Enter.
- Navigate to the DeviceSetup Key: Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DeviceSetup\Settings.
- Create a New DWORD Value: Right-click in the right pane, select "New" > "DWORD (32-bit) Value", and name it "PreventDeviceDriverUpdate".
- Set the Value: Double-click the new DWORD, set the value data to "1", and click "OK".
Had an "issue" with my 9070xt Red Devil. Plugged in the RGB cable to turn the stuff off and after about 5 mins the system would hard lock, only recovery was to turn off with the power button.
Unplugged RGB cable and computer works fine. Motherboard is MSI Mag 450. Just putting this out there for people if they are having similar issues.

Or buy a nice pair of headphones.
Try windows update blocker to stop updates
Yep, good call. I did this right after it happened.
it's fine for now but I can't wait to see what UDNA brings to the table
I didn't but someone else I know has stated about

really....so better performance and cheaper to buy. May do some research now and see if its worth a swap....need a new toy
Gotta say, the 9070's performance impresses me. According to all reviews it really isn't that much faster than my old 6950XT yet I can play CP2077 maxed out raster and hover around 85-100 in rough numbers @ 1440p UW. I wasn't even close to that on my 6950XT and that was with slightly lowered specific settings like screenspace reflections. Not to forget, the frame pacing is ffing amazing to. It's certainly been worth the rough 180-200 quid this upgrade has cost me.

Installed: Today.
Quite the uplift in performance from the 5700XT.
I have moved mine on due to the noise from the fans ramping up and down along with the poor iracing performance. I may get another at some point. It's annoying as it's a great card and I could probably put up with the noise but I've been waiting a while to get back to vr and the performance was worse than when I used a 4070ti.
Managed to get my Steel Legend ordered yesterday, as well as all the other parts for a much needed full system upgrade.
Now to just wait for it all to arrive.
