Upgraded to 9070XT from 6700Xt

I thought some people might appreciate some real world upgrade numbers,

I have just purchased a ASROCK Steel Legend 9070XT video card from Scorptec.
coming from a Power Color Hellhound RX6700XT,
CPU Ryzen 5800X
ram 64GB ddr4 3200

These numbers are after i rebooted the system then ran the benchmark, there has been no optimisation other than installing the new video driver for the 9070XT, so only look at these as real world 1 run numbers,
But its a double speed roughly which is a great upgrade i feel.

Timespy
6700xt 11627
9070XT 22222

Timespy Extreme
6700XT 5467
9070XT 11032

FireStrike
6700XT 28742
9070XT 41067

Steel Nomad
6700XT 2339
9070XT 6864

Nice to see.

Based on the averages I see for a 5800X and 9070XT, you've actually still got a lot left in the potential tank. Perhaps a fresh windows install?

Also you're comparing the overall benchmark score, which for Steel Nomad is fine as it's just FPS, but for the others in includes CPU performance.
Generally you only need to compare Graphics score if the CPU is remaining the same.

Timespy
Your score: 22222
Average: 23606 (+6.2%)
Best: 26357 (+18.6%)

Timespy Extreme
Your score: 11032
Average: 11597 (+5.2%)
Best: 12774 (+15.8%)

Firestrike
Your score: 41067
Average: 42803 (+4.2%)
Best: 45378 (+10.5%)

Steel Nomad
Your score: 6864
Average: 7237 (+5.4%)
Best: 7943 (+15.7%)

 

yeah, this was just a quick comparison, as mentioned i have done no optimization and its just my standard windows install that ive had for years.

All of the numbers for the tests are saved online so i can see them if i need to get the gpu numbers , but after running some tests I have noticed that my CPU is getting rather hot hitting 90c on some tests,
so I will be checking my cooler tomorrow morning and at least repasting it.

Either way, it feels like a nice upgrade, so if i can optimize and get some more out of it even better.

Thanks for letting me know the average numbers, Ill see how i go tomorrow.

 

Good luck. It's a great upgrade! Plus you have access to FSR4.

 

Any chance you could run geekbench ai and mlperf benchmarks? I have a similar setup to what you started with so I'm keen to see how it performs.

 

i downloaded geekbench AI , does the link below work for you?

https://browser.geekbench.com/ai/v1/227550

either way the numbers are

Single P
25337

half P
32820

Quant
21319


is that what your after?

As for MLperf. i had a quick google and im not sure what to run, I downloaded mlperf-client but it didnt do anything, Im happy to try but i will need some more info.

 

Interesting, thank you. 6700XT numbers aren't dissimilar to the 1080ti, so it's a good reference for that too

 

I thought they were like a 3070 which is definitely more than a 1080ti?

Yeah not the same now I've checked

 

I'm just going by my benchmark numbers.
(self pat on the back)

Also sell me your RAM pls

 

Are you CPU limited or something? Because there should be quite a significant increase in FPS between the two

 

yeah,
dont use my benchmark numbers as an reference to external benchmarks, its on a 5yo copy of windows with lots of apps running and i was having cpu heat issues,

the numbers are low compared to other systems, It was more looking at the system upgrade number, which is almost a double of FPS with no other changes in the system,

 

I mean I have a 1080 ti and get the same numbers as this guy pretty much. using 10900k and 3800c14 bdie.

Also is your memory for sale

 

Odd. I'm sure you get my point though, multiple test videos of seemingly reputable influencers show a significant difference between 1080ti and 6700xt so if you're not getting any difference in your PC then you've possibly got some other bottleneck

 

How is it a bottleneck if my 1080ti is performing better than other 1080ti's vs the 6700xt?

 

Ah yeah good point. I didn't click you were saying you were comparing the 6700xt to the one in this thread.

But wtf did you do to your 1080ti to get it performing at a 6700xt level lmao

At same time OP did say he likely had some limiting factors.

 

lol, so I used thermal putty, PTM7950 on the core and watercool it with mountains of radiators, then played with the clocks against the power level and voila - we have 2060-2090mhz core clocks. It runs less than 3C over delta ambient temp usually which helps the boost bins .

I need to shunt mod it now. power is ruining all the fun.
I didn't realise I had such uplift compared to the tests. but the cpu and memory are no slouch for 3dmark tests either i suppose.

9070xt seems like a real solid upgrade here with all the new bells and whistles.

I used XESS in cyberpunk for the 1080ti and it's pretty good at least.

EDIT: yeah this is kinda best case scenario vs base level 6700XT scenario it looks like.

 

That's making more sense now hahaha

 

Thankyou.
My 6700xt/5800x system with 32Gb ddr4 benched:
single precision 18260 (9070xt is 1.38x faster)
Half precision 20109 (1.63x)
Quantised 14722 (1.44x)

That's using ONNX and directML backend. I suspect when full ROCM support for windows and more optimisations land that this should increase performance, however, the 16gb of vram remains the limiting factor, at least until the rumoured xtx arrives.

 

With mlperf, just run it from within the command prompt or PowerShell
