ASUS Radeon RX 9070 TUF OC

[Scattergrunt]

Trading price to performance for efficiency, good trade for people who care about that (its not super terrible anyway.) Also a OC beast, and RT on par or barely below the 4070S / 5070, and seemingly beats the 5070 in raster here and there. For the same price too.

Normally I'd be a little disappointed, but the RX 9070 came out way better than I was expecting. I cant even be mad that its so close to the 9070XT in MSRP because it actually has a nice niche over the 9070XT which can matter to people who care about that.

Efficiency with the RX 9070 vs Raw Performance w/ 9070XT. And both still share a ton of positives, which can be a interesting prospect.

Personally speaking, this might be the closet AMD has gotten to giving people who traditionally buy NVIDIA an compelling option.

Better than I expected especially when factoring in overclocking. I really wish this card was 500 then it would be a steal in my book. Currently its nice and not a bad value, just seems like it would be better to pay 50 bucks more to get the 9700XT.

Still impressed with this generation so far.

 

[Mistral]

So far, so good. Let's see how the actual prices end up being.

 

[medi01]

why did Radeon drop to 10% marketshare

Why is Intel gaining consumer CPU market share vs AMD?
Why is AMD at just 23%?

Surely the newbnewbs buying more expensive, power hungry a full tier slower 3050 over 6600 were after "fichers" .

The "market share argument" the last resort of bazinga lovers.

no one care about features

I have intentionally skipped the moving goalpost.
Out of mercy.

 

[TheDeeGee]

Easy to deshroud atleast, which is my biggest concern with GPU's these days using trash noisy fans.

 

[Pepamami]

Ok prob my next GPU, but not ASUS, coz asus gpus are usually trash with awful vrm noises.

 

[W1zzard]

Cooler performance testing data has been added

 

[veleciraptor]

I think people who'd go with 12GB bazinga deserve to have it.

When even PF praises FSR4, the "buh features" is dead, I'm afraid.

FSR4 looks so good. Look at detail level compared to DLSS4.

 

[cellar door]

Great AMD release! Also I'm done with Asus and their tax.

Per PF, FSR sits between DLSS 3 (beats it) and DLSS4 (is behind), so not sure what you were trying to say.

So basically story is transistor fabs are lagging a bit comparing to what it used to be. They know they are realising on basically the same node, and AMD call their cards down and states there is no high end this gen.

While greedvidia Says no problem, will build giant chips with previous node, make it scarce and impractical and charge ridiculous premium regardless. 4x fake frames, while the frame itself is upscaled with new marketing model, will sell Hi-Fi fantasy word. I am not buying into this,

AMD story is closer to reality. Props to them for that.

Recently, I sold my PC because I didn't want to deal with it all.
9700x with 7700xt and 1440p Mini LED IPS would be a way to go for now if new, but it's a bit too expensive for me.

Will wait for affordable gaafets CPUs and GPUs to establish on the market, or when used cards of "prodigal trust fund kids of now" Will fail in price dramatically.

Thank you

Yeah the thing is Nvidia can pump out a crap load of GPUs if they wanted. Once 5070 stocks level go up, 9070 nonXT prices will have to go way below MSRP in order to sell.

Wait..why? 9070 still looks to be the better card..

Learn to read buddy or watch the video, that's not DLSS 4 + Transformer model.

Nvidia is still miles ahead of AMD over there.

 

[Skimba]

9070 starts tol be the actual value proposition when it starts to sell $100-150 under lower its current MSRP.

Hmm...

And that is CNN (DLSS 3).

Vs 4, some more reading shows that DLSS Transformer is better at texture quality but FSR4 is better with particle details, that seems to be where they are trading blows.

Its essentially a 7900XTX, when you take out the biggest outliers like CS and its absurdly high framerate (probably a TDP thermal/power density issue with how small the die is) and look at the rest its essentially a "free" 20% RT improvement over the 7900XTX when it counts, same power consumption, virtually the same performance, virtually the same OC potential. This just killed the 507X series unless Nvidia wants to drop their prices by $150 and start beating the 20% power efficiency drum they have no sales point beyond brand loyalty, and considering their giant middle finger of price and availability to gamers...


If I didn't already have a 7900XTX or cared more about RT I would buy this card.

Can I have some of the crack you are smoking to post this content?

Actually like this card a lot.

240W vs 340W max draw on the XT. Sub 250W is kind of a big deal, don't need a gargantuan PSU and not as likely to make the PC sound like a drone.
7% faster than 5070 at 4K, which is what matters to me.

Likely to be easier to find at MSRP than the XT, since the XT is getting all the attention.

Now we get to find out if AMD really produced enough supply.

I am waiting to hear the "RT doesn't matter" now that this card is 10% faster at RT than the competing 5070 and it has 4GB more Vmem.

I agree. It’s like the lower power version of the XT similar to how 65W and 125W CPUs work. Also similarly priced like CPUs but you can fit the lower power version in smaller cases.

The plausible explanation of just $50 diff is that yields are good, hence 56 CU dies are not that common.

RT does not matter, PT ("full ray tracing") does is the newer mantra.
With "see AMD does 13fps where 1.5 times more expensive cards does amazing 26 fps"... )))

 

[phints]

TPU you should add “fantastic 1% lows” to the pros. It did surprisingly well, beating the 4070 Ti. No doubt thanks to having enough VRAM.

 

[Acesbong]

Asus selling this for 650 and thinking they can with the 9070XT at 600 make me think the prices are going to be fake.

 

[biffzinker]

As for the 9070, looks like kind of a mixed bag on raytracing improvements? In some cases, it's better than RDNA3, in some, it's worse.

That appears to be immature drivers at fault or it’s the game being in a unoptimized state/issue with detection of the new cards.

 

[codex5600x]

Looks like it wins against the 5070 in almost every metric at the same MSRP.

9700xt must be faster than 5070 ti not 5070

Disaster for amd
7900xt have not only worse performance than 5070 ti but have a worse efficiency
The price Olson is to high

Triple slot cards with dual slot brackets belong in a dumpster.
