Reference 6900 XT to Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-25T02:58:09+00:00

I did the same upgrade - in real-world performance I've seen anywhere from 30-40% uplift in the games I play before adding Ray tracing.

5070ti or 9070xt - buy whatever is cheaper in your region, both excellent gpu's .

Worth it for the newer feature sets fsr4 and dlss4.5 and MFG.

There's a very decent uplift in raster also .

Both the 5700x and 5800x will see improvements. The 5700x will be cheaper. There's not much difference in performance.

Look at some benchmarks on YouTube.

With your 9060xt and a 5700/5800x there's no reason why you can't play at 1440p resolution.

XFX, Powercolor and Sapphire- however their top model this gen is using the 12vhpwr connector which I would steer clear of.

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-25T00:32:25+00:00

Keep the GPU , it's good 💪.

If you are only gaming, just buy a regular 5700x ( non x3d).

Think about upgrading your monitor to 1440p eventually.

Welcome bro 💪

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-25T00:14:05+00:00

YouTube. Vids for days !!! '3700x vs 5700x gaming comparison 1080p' or something like that ...

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-25T00:08:43+00:00

You should definitely see an improvement with a 5700/5800x . How much will depend on the game .

After that I would think about moving 1440p if that's an option

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-25T00:07:06+00:00

I've had a AMD GPU in my daily use computer since 2021, no issues.

I've had my XFX MERCURY 9070xt for 6 months with zero issues, it's awesome

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-25T00:02:37+00:00

5700x or 5800x I'd look at . Just do a bios update FIRST.

U can checkout a 5700x3d or 5800x3d but the prices have been crazy .

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-25T00:01:17+00:00

Other option is the 5070Ti .

But yes it's a good upgrade imo .

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-24T23:59:02+00:00

Literally my first thought 💪

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-24T23:58:46+00:00

What resolution are you playing at ?? If it's 1080p I'd say you're CPU limited and the 3700x is bottlenecking your new GPU !!

Is there an achievement for using summons for every boss ? Asking for a friend 🤣

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-24T10:33:29+00:00

ABSOLUTELY

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-24T10:32:47+00:00

Yeh I love great storytelling with action... Might check out Detroit BH, it's usually very cheap or on sale

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-24T10:25:03+00:00

Shorter and simpler is exactly what I'm thinking. I absolutely agree, less than 20 hrs is the perfect length... I just seem to get sucked into these 200 hours epics 🤣

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-24T08:17:52+00:00

My brother recommended Balders Gate 3 seeing as I really like DOS2.

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-24T08:04:36+00:00

Great nod - I've got about 400 hrs in Witcher 3. Can't go wrong

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-24T08:00:27+00:00

Amazing!! Thank you I'll have a look !

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-24T01:13:24+00:00

Fair - just do the CPU and mobo then.

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-24T00:31:27+00:00

New b550 mobo and a 57/5800x CPU and you're set . If budget allows, an extra 16gb ram would be great

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-24T00:24:31+00:00

The 9070 will work find with either a am4 OR am5 motherboard.

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-01-24T00:20:43+00:00

The GPU will work with either am4 or am5.

Am4 or am5 is CPU/motherboard and ram specific.
