For the first time in many years I have a non Nvidia card in my main PC. Bought a Sapphire 9070XT Nitro + and I have to say I have zero regrets so far.

That Sapphire is absolute brick man!...but I like big video cards and I cannot lie :p
It was among the considerations for me at the time, but I ruled it out seeing as my psu has three dedicated 8-pin outs.

-80mv might be a bit too much uv for some cores but -40-50 isn't a bad result either. Only the best cores hit -80-100 from what I've seen. I'm also basing my results from stability in VR environments which tend to be more demanding of stability.

My findings are it varies game by game. I'm playing Dragonkin: The Banished (UE5,kinda meh game btw) at -85 uv stable and was running -100 for hours and hours until it finally locked up on my one day. On the contrary though, back when I was running Ratchet and Clank I had to significantly back off the uv to achieve stability. I think it was down to around even -50 iirc

That's what I've found also. If I leave it at 0 uv, I am stable. I can definitely get more performance and higher clocks if I undervolt (Nitro+ anywhere from -70 to -120), but I'm not stable in all games at all times. Some are fine...others are not.
 
My 21-year old son just bought a Gigabyte 9070xt on Friday. I know that the data suggests that nVidia has a massive market share advantage, but my house is now split down the middle. I have a RTX 5070ti, youngest has a RTX 3070, two older kids have RX9070xt. I must say that other than my oldest son having Crimson Desert crash on loading for a few weeks straight, I am very impressed with the new AMD cards.

You can test in Adrenaline > Graphics > AFMF.

AMD is really holding the damn line on pricing. Powercolor 9070XT on Amazon for $650. All the 5070 Ti cards are $920+.

It's something. I'll take a lifeline wherever it can be found these days.

Prob a wise choice to use gddr6

AMD announced price hikes already incoming. Also, 5070ti can be found less than $920. Bestbuy had an instore clearance deal for $700 recently (widely available, gone now) and Newegg had one for $880 on their fantastech sale. Regardless, get in on a card of either type now if you want one. Amd or Nvidia, they're both only going up!

Probably only lasts until stock runs out. E.g. the Asus Prime 9070 XT is available at around $750 including sales tax in my country, which amounts to approx $600 excluding sales tax. All other cards are way higher, so my guess is they got a lot of stock while prices were low. They seem to keep the pricing according to their purchase price, rather than price it like it would be on the next batch they receive.

Performance wise it's pretty even for me in ff14 lol, 70-74% of the performance for 70% of the price. I hope AMD's next line is better, I was disappointed it was so much lower performance than the 7000 series.

still very very happy with my 9070.

I've got both now. While the 9070 XT is nice, the 9070 hits the sweet spot with performance, power, and temps. Both are overkill for gaming at native 1080P and 2K, and it can get over 60FPS at native 4K, which is impressive.

RX 9070 Stock/(+100 Mem, -75MHz Core, +5% Power) OC Power Draw and Temps (i7-14700T)
233W/244W | 57C/58C

Stock (3106MHz) Cyberpunk2077 High Native 1080P = 173.70
Stock (3106MHz) Cyberpunk2077 High Native 4K = 66.02
+100Mhz Mem -75mV Core (3183MHz) Cyberpunk2077 High Native 1080P = 178.02
+100Mhz Mem -75mV Core (3183MHz) Cyberpunk2077 High Native 4K = 69.19
+100Mhz Mem -75mV Core +5% Power (3202MHz) Native Cyberpunk2077 High Native 1080P = 165.58
+100Mhz Mem -75mV Core +5% Power (3202MHz) Native Cyberpunk2077 High Native 4K = 69.82

RX 9070 XT Stock/(+100 Mem, -75MHz Core, +5% Power) OC Power Draw and Temps (Ryzen 7 9850X3D)
339W/346W | 62C/66C

Stock (2902MHz) Cyberpunk2077 High Native 2K = 150.57
+100Mhz Mem -75mV Core +5% Power (3268MHz) Cyberpunk2077 High Native 2K = 155.42

The sticky bit between those two is they're close in performance and the price/perf advantage bounces back and forth. You can always undervolt a 9070XT if you want it to use less power. So really I think which one is the better buy depends on price, so it's a matter of when and where.

Yeah, there's also a BIOS to increase the power draw of the 9070 to the XT, but still can't make up for the cut core like in the past.
 
So quick update on my 9070/Firefox issue watching video. I think it's related to MPO. None of the settings I changed fixed it over the past few months, but I did turn off MPO on Aug 4 and have yet to see the issue again. I actually verified in July it "fixed it" but I wanted to turn it back on and see if the issue returns, which it did, then turn if off again Aug 4 and it has been gone since.

When 26H2 releases, I'm going to do a clean install again of 11 and install Firefox without extensions and leave MPO on just to have a true default experience to test again.
 
Passed Stellar Blade demo - is this a good OC or just average? Just got the Mercury Magnetic Air.

VRAM can go up you can try 100-150MHz more, undervolt is very good, but it vary from game to game, temps are top, is this under water or something?

Nice. Stock air just got it yesterday. Big dawg case. Everyone online says Stellar Blade demo is peak test. But yeah I’ll be playing more!

VRAM-wise I already had to back down - I think not having Samsung DDR6 is costing me there. EDIT: yes my Hynix GDDR6 won't boost past 2650. :(

This GPU (since there are so many XFX variants):

EDIT: added HWiNFO for after a round of Fortnite (finished in top 3 so it was pretty long) - temps are more realistic but still nicely icy! OC above still stable and it is boosting a lot more in Fortnite versus the Stellar Blade demo.

Not an issue for most folks as you can't even hardly see it unless it is vertically mounted on a case with a clear side-panel. And in THOSE vertical mount situations, they're normally redone in a waterblock anyway.

I think from the top, they look fine.

But, these are actually excessively large cards, for a 9070 XT (300 watt card). And curiously, most of the official product shots seem to purposefully hide how large they are, via careful camera angles, etc.

damn! 9070 xt's are going for ~$900 right now? smdh

*also I missed the part where he said that's what 5060 ti's are going for also. lmfao!

It's wild, isn't it? Some of the 5070s are only a little more or less at Microcenter. I don't think the situation would be nearly as bad if Nvidia hadn't been stingy about memory since the 2K cards.
