The 9070XT is a good card for the price, and that doesn’t tell us a lot, there’s going to be markets where AMD does better and some where Nvidia does better, as an AMD user I feel like they still fall behind with their drivers, I’ve had many Driver timeouts with my RX6700XT just because I was hitting alt tab on CS2, I’ve never had it on Nvidia.
Also someone who does a lot of upscaling with Topaz I would have loved to see AMD making some serious grounds there there’s no reason why they should be that behind with content creators, I don’t think we’ll ever see the GPU department catching up as the CPU did with Ryzen but I feel like everytime Nvidia fucks something up, AMD does the same so It’s a game of who’s going to fuck up more.
I bought the 6700xt just because I was contemplating on the 3070 but I saw it was an 8GB VRAM card and I thought yeah miss me with that shit.
Those driver issues are so disheartening, especially when you’re just trying to enjoy a game! It’s good to see AMD gaining ground though, even if it’s a slow climb.
Do you have any experience with Topaz and a 9070xt? I don’t because my 9070 PC runs Linux but I do have a Topaz license that goes to like 5.1 that I use on an older PC with an Nvidia card that serves as my Windows only software computer
Benchmarks for the 9070xt seemed competitive for Topaz
I was hoping Topaz would release for Linux since they had beta versions available but they didn’t update past 5.1 and then recently announced they were cancelling the Linux support plans and then they went full on subscription plans rather than buy once for a year of updates and then it’s yours to keep
Someday I’ll get a drive to install Windows on and test the version of Topaz I have with it. The Puget benchmarks with it and Topaz are good but don’t know if my final version is recent enough to be stable with the 9070
Do you have any recommendations, I used to upscale and restore old Trailers, Videos, Porn and etc. I don’t remember what model I used but I always used flowframes for 60fps interpolation
Topaz is absolutely the best. There are other commercial software out there that’s talked up a bit but everything i’ve read says Topaz is still better. Free stuff, nothing really comes close. There’s this that i hope get’s better and more developer interest. Available on Linux and Windows
I buy XFX. I think Sapphire is really well regarded. I feel like I had a Sapphire ATI card a long time ago. Pretty sure XFX and Sapphire are the major time tested brands. You can probably be good buying the cheapest brand though

I don’t, I have a 6700xt I don’t remember much about my settings but It’s quite slow when upscaling to 4K.
Someday I’ll get a drive to install Windows on and test the version of Topaz I have with it. The Puget benchmarks with it and Topaz are good but don’t know if my final version is recent enough to be stable with the 9070

If you’re Windows only, there’s this. It’s more mature in development

But Topaz is better than everything else. It’s why I grabbed a used laptop with an Nvidia GPU for a good price
The free stuff is real hit or miss with real life video. Animations generally always looks good
What models do you recommend usually for AMD cards?
I buy XFX. I think Sapphire is really well regarded. I feel like I had a Sapphire ATI card a long time ago. Pretty sure XFX and Sapphire are the major time tested brands. You can probably be good buying the cheapest brand though
No I meant in Topaz Labs.
And here I bought an Intel b580. -sigh-
