AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Beats GeForce RTX 2070 in a Spectrum of Games
The 9.75 TFLOPs figure in the leaked specifications slide of the Radeon RX 5700 XT "Navi" graphics card from earlier today got many guessing if AMD is essentially putting RX Vega-level performance into a GPU that sips a fraction of its power. It turns out that AMD's claim of the RX 5700 XT being faster than the GeForce RTX 2070 wasn't just specific to the odd super-optimized game title, but a whole selection of games, many of which some with GameWorks varnish, some of which even support NVIDIA RTX.
AMD's [leaked] performance slide for the Radeon RX 5700 XT sees the card beat the RTX 2070 in "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey," "Battlefield V," "CoD: Black Ops 4," "Far Cry: New Dawn," "Metro Exodus," Tom Clancy's "The Division 2," "The Witcher 3," and Tom Clancy's "Ghost Recon: Wildlands." The card is also striking distance behind the RTX 2070 at "Shadow of the Tomb Raider," and Sid Meier's "Civilisation 6." All games in this slide are tested at 1440p resolution, with in-game settings maxed out (although we're waiting to read the Endnotes on whether "max out" in NVIDIA's context means turning on RTX on some of these games). The RX 5070 XT beats the RTX 2070 by as much as 22 percent in "Battlefield V," and 15 percent in "Metro Exodus," and is claimed to be within single-digit percentage ahead of the RTX 2070. There's another picture of the RX 5070 XT reference board in this slide, and unless we're mistaken, we spy two 8-pin PCIe power connectors. We'll learn more about this card in a few hours from now.

Notably, we can all wait for TPU review, plus other sites for a more balanced view. If AMD price it well, perhaps the great GPU price escalation can be negated. If they don't price it aggressively, well, who cares if it beats the 3rd tier RTX card? And Super might well just poop the red party. You know, just because, they can. Unfortunately.
I have no horse in this race since I'll be buying 7nm EUV nvidia but it's already exciting to see amd taking the step in the right direction with navi.I had 1080 FE for 5 months and the memory of it haunts me at night.
Loudest thing on that system was the PSU as the Sonata II had the top mounted PSU with the intake on top of the case. I ran that build on a Seasonic M12II 620 and when the GPUs were really pulling that PSU fan got rather loud. Always stable though, never had any load related crashes.
Lack of idle fan-off has been a sore spot though...
