AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Tested in Cyberpunk 2077 and Black Myth: Wukong

[Outback Bronze]

Looks half decent atm, just need to see how these go with power consumption.

 

[TheDeeGee]

Shaping up to be more or less the same as the 5070. Since that card is as fast as the 4090, looks like AMD has a real winner here.

Lol?

Clearly shows it's between 4080S and 4070 TiS, so how is it going to be as fast as the 4090 then?

its a joke on Nvidia claiming the 5070 is going to be as fast as a 4090

 

[HOkay]

IFF it really is 4080ish in raster, & is $500 or so, I'll finally swap back to AMD! I've been green for way too long now, it's time for a change

 

[gridracedriver]

Nvidia will replace 5070ti core to 5070 SKU.

 

[dir_d]

$499 and i will buy one.

 

[Punkenjoy]

For 550$ and given it's full ray tracing enabled, it's pretty good. Wonder how it would be against the other two cards in these games (or others) with RT disabled.

Well it's not Full or Path Tracing,

This look like Ray Tracing Ultra but not the overdrive mode based on the results of 4080 Super. Full Overdrive results at 4K are about half of those.


It is still very good that AMD is catching up in RT when some game start to require RT to run. About time.

 

[Pax256]

I think it is Path Tracing per the third pict and I could run RT ultra on my 7800xt fine... forget the fps and settings tho but it was playable. Theres 2 more RT levels above ultra tho IIRC which kind of defeats the term.

 

[Nater]

Awesome. AMD has ray-tracing at unplayable/unenjoyable framerates just like nVidia!

It's a big deal for any 3d modeler who wants this Raytracing performance for work.

 

[ModEl4]

From wccftech:
Update: the Black Myth benchmark results are without RT. So, we made the necessary edits.

Boooo.

I'm curious for RT results of the 9070. Even if I plan to use raster more often.

 

[Flyordie]

And I would have waited with this 7900XT

Goes to show the value of patience, the one thing I stopped having after 6,5 years of GTX 1080.... It doubly confirms to me we should always just wait until a deal comes up that truly feels right.

How dare you give up. lol. I'm still rollin with my V64. Does all I need it to still. Although its showing its age.

 

[mama]

AMD says no one has access to the finished driver. How accurate is this information then?

 

[bug]

the RX 9070 XT performs decently well, trading blows with the RTX 4070 Ti Super

Problem(as I see it) is 4070 Ti, Super or not, was a decent mid-ranger for the last generation. And this is supposed to be AMD's top dog for the next couple of years.

if you call $700 mid-range, sure

 

[hero1]

This is excellent news. Let's see what the reviews show. I'm still rocking my EVGA 2080 Hydro copper and I haven't seen any reason to upgrade. Maybe this is it? Time will tell.

I doubt that Nvidia will speed up the 2/2 and half years release cycle that they have now. I'm wondering however what the 3nm GPU lineup will look like, in theory, they should be much faster, but with TSMC hiking the prices, we'll probably get even more cut down chips for any tier below the xx90.

Fwiw, I'm not calling $700 mid-range, I'm calling the mileage you get from that card mid-range.

 

[Marcus L]

Fwiw, I'm not calling $700 mid-range, I'm calling the mileage you get from that card mid-range.

The mileage? what even does that mean lol that in 2 years it's struggling to run games and needs to rely on upscaling and trickery to acheive stable FPS? c'mon man, you are believing the hype..... Call it what you like, if it was released at MSRP of $700 that is not mid-range, it might be considered so since they decided to straight up rip people off over the last 2-4 years because of covid, ukraine, cost of living, (whatever else BS label you want to put on it to justify corporations making the highest profit margins ever), but I am never paying over $500 for a friggin GPU to play games, whether I have to hodl on to my 6800 for another 2-3 years to get any kind of performance upgrade is fine by me, I will play their game, hopefully the 9070 XT being sub $500 will shake things up and get prices back to a somewhat decent level we will have to see though the noise coming from AMD, the price leaks, the performance with a lot left on the table at a driver level makes me optimistic, I could be wrong but like I said I am willing to wait until I get a decent uplift in performance for the same price I payed for an even inflated RX 6800 which was about $400 at the time

 

[ModEl4]

RX 7090XT needs to be $499, logically the performance difference with RTX 5070 ($549) won't be greater than 10% in raster QHD for reference models (in AMD's favor, 9070XT=100/5070=90), so the top OC models like Sapphire Nitro/GB Aorus etc will probably be close or more expensive than the reference RX 5070 models.
Anything higher than $499 will be a missed opportunity and I also wouldn't price it lower because RX 9070 16GB (probably only -$50 vs RX 9070XT) will be much faster than a GB206 (that's the rumors) based RTX 5060Ti.

I have a hard time saying where a card "needs to be" in terms of pricing, having not seen a full range of benchmark runs. Hell, for me even the power draw factors in. But, like I said in the other thread, 5070 being priced as it is and assuming a mild 10% improvement over the 4070, doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room for 9070XT.

 

[MCJAxolotl7]

I might buy a 7900xtx during the coming summer, and get the next gen high end card after? I DON'T want to give ngreedia 3 grand for a 5090, but nothing new high end amd, sooooo....?

 

[Hyderz]

like i said before this is a testing gpu to see how the rt holds up after 9070xt we weill definately see much stronger gpu with rt on

 

[AusWolf]

Nearly 4080 performance for an expected price of around $550 is a winner in my books. Let's not forget about the 16 GB VRAM, either. The 5070 will only have 12.
