Radeon RX 9000 series are amazing. Apparently sales are doing great, but obviously NVIDIA is holding monopoly and people are brainwashed to just buy NVIDIA no matter what.
I was surprised to see the 9070 xt at about double the 6800 xt performance in benchmarks, once ones with both of those started coming out.
I got it because I also see that if China does follow through with an attack on Taiwan, PC components are going to become very hard to find and very expensive while all of that production capacity is replaced. And depending on how things go after that, this might be the last GPU I ever buy.
I do care about upscaling and ray tracing, which is why I didn’t go with AMD for last few generations. RX 9070 XT felt like the right time as they made huge improvements. Especially FSR4 is easily comparable to DLSS and I use it as antialiasing replacement while boosting performance. FSR2, while it works it turns into pixelated mess during fast movements and has a lot of ghosting. FSR4 is near perfect.
What I also love is how AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames just work in all games with minimal artifacting and Radeon Chill is what I especially love with summer coming in. It decreases power consumption dramatically and thus heat output to levels RTX 5070Ti couldn’t ever achieve despite being more efficient in raw tests for power consumption. All while not affecting experience. It’s so good I’m using it in Overwatch 2 and Marvel Rivals and I can’t really tell a diffeeence, it controls framerate that seamlessly.
That’s not down to graphic card. It’s the game. I had horrible boiling in Marvel Rivals on RTX 3080 to a point I preferred screenspace reflections over ray traced Lumen reflections. Still do on Radeon. Surprisingly, Oblivion Remaster running Unreal Engine 5 doesn’t have this issue even on RX 9070 XT.
40 series to 30 series was pretty tangible IMO (4090 gets something like 30-50% more perf in most tasks than 3090 Ti with the same TDP), in part thanks to the much higher L2 cache plus newer process node.
50 series was very poor though, probably because it’s the same process node.

That’s not the experience in actual games.
