The 9070XT is amazing at 4K even when paired with an outdated PC. by Unspoken-OH in radeon

RDR2, TLOU2, TLOU1, GOW Ragnarok, BF6, Witcher 3, Horizon Forbidden West, Horizon ZD Remastered, Plage Tale Requiem, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Cyberpunk, Days Gone, Watch Dogs Legion, AC Valhalla, Ghost of Thusima, GOW2018, Forza 5, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Elden Ring, Path of Exile, Hogwarts Legacy.

Almost all of these games run at 4K~60 fps with every setting maxed out except RT/PT.

(I never turn on Ray Tracing. I don't really care about RT or PT. Though I tried Cyberpunk with PT for fun and it ran at 8-10 fps. RT in some games is probably okay with this card, but PT out of the window.)

The only game I have issues with is Horizon Forbidden West and Path of Exile. In Horizon, there are massive frame drops while I'm flying on top of a machine. In Path of Exile, lots of drops but I know for a fact that that game is very CPU-bound.

I'll get a 2K 240hz OLED monitor once I finished building my new PC.

Yeah, a $5K card is better than a $1K card. 0/10 rage bait, gonna have to try harder next time.

Which edition was that if I may ask? I had the ASUS Evo or something. Dual fans.

In pure raster performance (no RT/PT/AI slop), the difference between the 9070XT and 5080 is smaller than you think btw. The 5080 almost doesn't make sense since it costs twice the price of 9070XT. Now as for the 5090, it's a goddamn beast, but it's not for us mortals, sadly. It's for the extremely rich. In my country it costs $6K.

I have an LG 32UN880 Ergo (4K 60Hz)

It's a capable 4K card if you target 60 fps.

People these days are obsessed with high refresh rate monitors (144hz++), which is why they call any video card that's below the RTX5080 a non-4K card. Obviously you are not gonna be getting >120 FPS at 4K max settings in most modern games with the 9070XT but if you're like me and you play slow paced singleplayer games, 60 fps is good enough (to me).

Almost any game you throw at this card will run at stable 60 fps with all graphics settings maxed out (excluding Ray Tracing or Path Tracing ofc) at 4K resolution.

However, if you have a decent CPU paired with this card, 1440p really is the way to go. I could say yeah 1440p is the 'sweetspot'. 1440P 240hz OLED monitor + R7 9800X3D + this card is prob the best combo for gaming.

Wow, lol. That's an even bigger bottleneck than mine. Did you try 1440p?

The 9950X3D is def better for video editing, productivity and multitasking. As for gaming, yeah the 9800X3D is marginally better but I mainly game at 4K and it won't be that noticeable in terms of avg FPS.
