NVIDIA is Selling Lies | RTX 5070 Founders Edition Review & Benchmarks

Nvidia selling lies and reviewers shouldn't be afraid to mince words about it that is precisely what the RTX 570 is it is marketed on the back of Lies with the Blackwell family RTX 570 490 performance at 549 impossible without the Four Tops four ter Ops of AI 5070 490 performance $549 that's right and says that AI can make a 570 which has 12 GB of vram equal 490 which has 24 here's an Nvidia compliance comparison of the RTX 570 with MFG versus the 490 without any frame generation at all just stock these are abusive settings stressing both cards heavily but Nvidia said 490 performance and we're not even close the 5070 spiky behavior is exceeding 200 milliseconds in this like for like comparison except it has MFG the 490 isn't perfect but without any frame generation at all it's hitting at worst 50 to 60 milliseconds an average of closer to 26 here's what that problem actually looks like using nvidia's own frame view tool we get a glimpse into another problem which is latency the PC latency on the 490 was around 51 milliseconds during this like for like comparison 51 is a lot better than what we saw in the 5070 with MFG 4X after 5 minutes of being in the game that was 500 to 720 milliseconds now to be fair if you only played cyberpunk with these settings for about 15 to 20 seconds at a time things look a lot better the 5070 is getting absolutely clobbered for vram which is just 12 GB to the 490s 24 to call these the same is an absolute Flatout lie these cards are not the same in situations where the card runs out of vram in particular it could never dream to be a 4090 it is simply impossible here's a quick chart showing passes one through three of the 5070 as it gets progressively worse with each Benchmark pass as the frame buffer fills the 490 meanwhile maintains its performance the entire time so did we pick an absolutely ridiculous comparison to make with extremely abusive settings that you might not use on a 5070 yes yes we did is it compliant also yes so Nidia look look it's just us right now stop lying just shut up even if we pretend a 5070 with MFG is equal to a 4090 in a Serial that's maybe not vram constrained it's still not like for like because the images themselves are not the same when you turn it on it's like Clive here from Final Fantasy or whatever his name is has six feet I mean if that's what Jensen's into then to each their own I guess wait for it wait for it and the memes will continue until the marketing improves now Nvidia does know that Gamers at one point mattered for its brand that's why there's so many amazing things that are happening we used GeForce to enable artificial intelligence and now artificial intelligence is revolutionizing GeForce you bring it home to your $10,000 PC entertainment Command Center isn't that right sometimes corpos be can be a little wordy and indirect so let me just let me just translate that for you you that's what they said Nvidia said you Gamers before that this video is brought to you by the montac hyperlow series of liquid coolers the montac hyperflow aims to compete with other affordable liquid coolers by fighting on price to Performance in our testing cooler performance was comparable to others in its class the argb hyperflow has an illuminated pump block with RGB LED fans that have quality rubber bumpers for vibration damping the cooler has a 6-year warranty and supports all modern Intel and AMD sockets and you can learn more at the link in the description below and video could have launched its RTX 570 today to lukewarm reviews and mediocrity but instead it went all in it decided to get on stage and lie about what the 5070 could be making every possible unforced error in the launch cycle of the 50 Series all of this was avoidable but this 5070 and 490 comparison in particular was a totally unnecessary fun Umble we could have just read all the numbers off and called it a day and said mediocre lukewarm wait for the 970 XT and non XT reviews tomorrow but instead we get to start with talking about line and marketing and then we can read all the numbers do you see how this works Nvidia and now we're going to get into the rest of the review as normal the RTX 57 is supposed to have an MSRP of $550 now there's an elephant in this room and we all know how Jensen Juan feels about about elephants four elephants one GPU it's hard to say what it'll actually be available for for Street pricing but basing off of only MSRP that makes this card $50 higher than the MSRP of the RTX 370 had its launched in 2020 and $50 cheaper than the RTX 470 is launch MSRP of $600 this kind of looks like a patterned stutter stepping where Nvidia will go a little too high overshoot on a generation the next one it comes down and then it creeps back up a little bit higher and so you end up with this gradual stuttered step of price increases we saw this from 10 to 20 20 to 30 and 30 to 40 and now we're seeing it again but the RTX 570 GPU has an advertised 6,144 Cuda cor a 192bit bus and 12 gigb of tdd R7 memory it might even have all the RS the 570 TI has an MSRP at 700 $50 and Carries 16 GB of gddr 7 memory on a 256bit bus so there's more bandwidth there's little bit more capacity and there's an increase to 8,960 Cuda cor and it has the surprise mechanic of maybe not having all of the RS clocks on the 5070 are advertised at 2. 51 GHz boost now it felt like the world didn't have enough absurdity in it today so we went and looked at new EG here's how it breaks down there are five MSRP models for the 5070 TI on new EG right now which is just enough to technically claim that MSRP exists the rest of them are all higher often $900 and over board Partners have now directly repriced their cards with video cards noticing that MSI had eliminated all of its $750 570 TI cards just before the 570 launches interestingly though as we write this review following the video cards News Post MSI has now reintroduced two $750 models dropping from 820 and 840 to 750 Nvidia has historically applied pressure to Partners to make MSRP units available so it wouldn't surprise us if the video card story triggered a reaction to keep two models available they can also achieve this with rebates anyway as for things available right now as in you can actually buy it we found the RX 7800 XT pulse for $530 and that's it that is all we found when we sorted new EG from $450 to $650 for in stock and sold first party by Newegg meaning no third parties no unavailable Models All We Got were a bunch of refurbished units and the 7800 XT pulse so it really is crazy right now we'll talk with that a little more in the next two reviews and the conclusion of this one we're going to get into the benchmarks though uh this review contains most of the games that we Benchmark we've reintroduced some of the ones that we didn't show the last couple reviews because we're prepping for the 970 970 XT so we need that full picture Suite to see how the cards behave in different types of games we currently have around 50 to 60 gpus or so tested for this lineup with this bench in the last uh two months or so now and so because of that it's too many cards and uh the charts you won't be able to read them on the screen so we have to remove some stuff and so here's what we went through and did we've added the 7900 GRE we won't be spending time talking about it today because it'll be replaced tomorrow and will likely be a key comparison tomorrow for the 9070 series but it's on the charts we're removing either the 480 or the super in every chart but keeping the other will favor the super where we have data for it that's because these gpus are within 1 to 3% of each other and it's not worth the chart space to have two versions of the same card we're also removing the 2080 TI 2080 super and 2080 most of these results are already available in our previous charts for the 570 TI review those are directly comparable to these you can pull them both up if you want to access that data we're removing the 80 with the missing DRS you can find that in a standalone video also directly comparable and of course we're removing the 970 and the XT because we can't show that data until tomorrow though we can show the footage of it but as for the data can't show it yet not that we've looked at it or know where the 970 or 970 XT land and certainly we wouldn't reference it in vague ambiguous ways at all anywhere in the really dense charts section uh and you're just going to have to check back and there's there's not going to be any hints let's get into it Final Fantasy 14 Dawn Trail up first for traditional raster title at 4K without any to artificially inflate the numbers this game is actually playable on most Modern Hardware at this resolution the way it's supposed to be the RTX 570 ran at 78 FPS average Landing it right between the 4070 TI and the 470 TI super maybe we should call it the 4070 TI V3 instead the 5070 TI outperforms the brand new RTX 4070 TI V3 Blackwell Edition by 25% here the 4070 TI super is ahead by 11% and the 7900 XT by 6% going by name only and ignoring the fact that you're getting less for more these days from Nvidia the generational lead over the 470 is 30% or 48% over the 370 118% over the 2070 and 244 over the Pascal 1070 unfortunately for NVIDIA the 5070 is not better than the 490 but if we were to be artificially intelligent and actually intellectually dishonest it might be the 970s will be on this chart tomorrow at 1440p the RTX 570 TI's lead over the 570 is reduced to 22% from 25% at 4K the 570 is also reduced at its advantage over the 4070 TI now just 1% from around 6% at 4K from 150 fps to 172 FPS we now have three gpus from Nvidia that is if you want to make Nvidia look as ridiculous as possible you could maximize the size of the clown car by drawing a box from the 480 super at 202 fps to the 470 f at 117 FPS the result is seven modern Nvidia gpus spanning an 85 FPS range all fresh from clown School divided evenly that would be one GPU for every 12 FPS in this situation though four of them land within a 36 FPS range the 5070 TI 4070 TI super 5070 and 4070 TI mean you can dial it in to the individual decimals if you were so picky about your performance the 700 XT lands in the middle of all of these and has a 12% lead over the RTX 570 assuming all the robs are present on the 5070 and the 5070 is again not better than the 490 RTX 570 490 performance are you guys with me hi am I alone remarkably we still have okay scaling at 1080p for most of these gpus the fact that the 9800 x2d allows the 590 and the 490 to still have a slight Gap at 1080p really speaks volumes to how actually exciting amd's 9800 X3 he is anyway back to the flunky problem child which is gpus just in their entirety the 5070 ran this workload at 225 FPS average and fell below the 470 ti no wonder Nvidia wants everyone using MFG the 490 predictably outperformed the 55070 massively it's a 67% Gap here the 700 XT now has a reduced lead of 9% black myth who call at 4K and rasterized had the 55070 at 40 FPS average giving the 570 TI a 27% lead the 55070 really struggled in this one and ended up tied with the 4070 TI and to its benefit the 7800 XT we'll be curious to see how the 970 does in this one surely we don't already know as we're writing this and definitely haven't looked at the results and in no way would we ever encourage you to just wait and see what the results are tomorrow if we knew but we don't and so we will still encourage you to do that if we were to randomly multiply the frames then the 5070 would be better than the 490 until you randomly multiply the 490 with lossless scaling Jenson claim is like a schoolyard argument the 570 is infinity times better wait for it wait for it at 1440p we reintroduced other 70 class cards of the past the 5070 Fe ran out 72 FPS average with frame time pacing unremarkable meaning fine the 570 is tied with a 470 TI and 700 XT generationally by name only the 570 improves on the 470 by 22% the 370 by 58% and the 2070 non super by 137% the 570 TI leads the 570 by 21% here let's go faster through these the 1080p result for Blackmouth has the 55070 down at 98 FPS average allowing the 4070 TI a gain to a 2% lead the 5070 TI is ahead by 17. 6% here assuming all of the RS are present against the prior cards containing 70 naming the 570 is ahead of the 470 by 18% the 370s 63 FPS average by 56% and the 2070s 43 FPS by 12 6% Starfield at 4K is up now the 55070 ran at 54 FPS average here giving the 4070 TI 59 FPS average a 9% lead it'd be interesting if amd's 970 performed similarly to the 700xt here since the hellhound is 20% ahead of the 570 we'll find out tomorrow again we definitely haven't already looked at the data the 5070 TI has a larger lead over the 570 in this test than the last 1080p Benchmark running a 68 FPS average for a 27% advantage over the 570 Fe performance of the 570 over the 270 22 FPS is about 145% ahead 1440p significantly reduces the 570 TI's uplift over the 570 bringing it down to 22% from the prior 27% the 700 XT which is an important comparison in this test for reasons that might be comparable to other cards coming out runs at 98 FPS average with comparable lows to its neighbors that has it 18% ahead of the RTX 570 is 83 FPS average as for the 470 the 570 leads by a pol Tre 10.

6% then 48% over the 370s 56 FPS at 1080p the 570s 104 FPS average planted at between the 470 and 470 TI again with an unimpressive 9% Improvement on the 470 the Gap shrinks as the resolution decreases in this game the 5070 TI is now ahead by only 19% down from 27% at 4K asra AMD it's rx700 XT is 15% ahead here down slightly from the 1440p advantage Drgon Dogma 2 at 4K is next this game is relatively heavy on the GPU in our test area but is unique for its ability to also produce a heavy CPU load in cities the RTX 570 ran at 56 FPS average here and had good frame time pacing represented in the lows but then again so did everything around it so it's proportional the 570 very slightly leads the 470 TI as for the 490 we're still somehow not matching the 490 which is up at 98 FPS we must have mistyped the equals 570 Time 4 formula that Jensen prescribed for reviewers impossible without the Four Tops four ter Ops of AI the 5070 TI leads the 5070 by a much larger 31% of this Benchmark producing one of the most notable jumps yet the 39 DTI ran at 64 FPS for a 14% lead over the 570 which might seem totally nonse and unrelated but it isn't you'll find out why soon anyway the 700 XT held a 61 FPS average in this one and the XTX was just past the 570 TI Drgon Dogma 2 at 1440p has the 5070 basically tied with the 470 TI again the 700 XT is 104 FPS average is just a 9% lead here with the 470 TI super a slight step above that the 5070 TI has a 25% lead over the 570 here posting one of its better 1440p comparative results somehow and we don't know how this happened the RTX 490 just seems to be better than the 570 that's again it's so weird that just must be something wrong maybe we should run Nvidia multifraction generation to divide the 490 down to a 570 with kind of performance I'm going to hire AI next time at 1080p the 5070 is 126 FPS average has it just behind the 4070 TI the 700xt leads by only 7% here with the 570 TI knocked down to a 21% lead from 25% at 1440p the 57 TI's 151 FPS average is also about the same as the 700 XTX which has its own slight Advantage as for the 490 well hours really must be broken because again it's just not making the 570 look good enough I wonder if this can play prices only Gamers know that cyber Punk Phantom Liberty is up now we have a more limited data set with this because we updated the game recently and we've been working on rerunning everything at 4K the 570 ran at 41 FPS average that put it 6% ahead of the 470 TI and 144% ahead of the 270 or 68% ahead of the 24 FPS result of the 3070 as for the 5070 TI its 50 FPS average gives it a 22% lead here with the 7800 XTX ahead of that at 57 FPS average the 7800 XT has noteworthy 13% lead over the 570 here at 1440p the 5070 ran at 89 FPS average and had lows at 75 FPS 1% and 71 FPS 0. 1% the 570 TI at 108 FPS average is about 21% ahead not changing much from 4K the 700 XT is ahead of the 570 and average 1% and 0. 1% lows holding a 12% lead and average frame rate alone once again the 4070 TI basically ties the 5070 with the ladder slightly ahead this time 1080p reintroduces other class cards the 570 TI ran at 167 FPS average with the 570 at 138 that's still 21% there the 470 hasn't been rerun here yet but the 370 is present at 85 FPS yielding a 62% lead to the 570 followed by the 270 at 60 FPS for 130% then the GTX 1070 at 35 FPS average that's about 293 improved to the 570 and the rx700 XT seems like it'll be particularly relevant soon this one ran at 150 FPS average with lows expected at 116 and 104 that's an 88.

8% improvement over the 5070 d light 2 is up now this is another of the heavier games especially with rt later at 4K the 570 ran at 56 FPS average and struggled in this title allowing the 570 TI an advantage of 25% the 7800 XT doesn't look great by comparison here at 55 FPS average itself as for the 4070 TI it's again roughly equal 1440p has the 570 at 106 FPS average now Trading Places with the 7800 XT the 570 TI's lead is reduced to 22% with the 4070 TI now falling slightly behind the 570 by generational naming the 470 ran at 78 FPS average so the 570 is 36% better the 370 was at 67 FPS average or 60% better on the 5070 today Resident Evil 4 is up last for rter testing and we're almost through these at 4K the 57078 FPS average has it just behind the 4070 TI that we've been tracking it's also about 6 FPS ahead of the 7800 XT so measurably different but functionally equal the 5070 TI is 107 FPS average positions at 36% ahead in this one which is a huge gain and among the largest we've seen the 7800 XT seems like a good and definitely very relevant soon comparison for AMD landed at 100 FPS average and leading the 570 by 28% at 144p the 570 held a 152 FPS average and trailed the 4070 TI by 8 FPS the 570 TI 30% higher frame rate here down from 36% at 4K as we've seen the Gap tends to close at lower resolutions although it's still a huge gap in this particular game the 7800 XT is now up at 186 FPS average with a reduction of the percentage advantage to 22% from 28% at 4K generationally the 570 runs 23% faster than the 124 FPS on the 470 54% faster than the 91 FPS on the 370 and 157% ahead of the 59 FPS for the 270 finally for raster we're now at 1080p for Resident Evil 4 this one is interesting for further closing of the gap between the 5070 and 5070 TI which now ranges from 282 fps to 224 FPS for a 26% Improvement on the ti the 7800 XT is about 18% higher frame rate here we're moving on to raate tracing now Nvidia has historically held significant advantages in some games for raate tracing AMD says it has significantly improved its rate tracing performance though we explained why the company is claiming this and our news piece covering the 9070 announcements so this will become highly relevant in tomorrow's reviews black myth who call with Ray tracing is up first this is one of the two titles in this RT test Suite that heavily favors Nvidia we testing with upscaling here at 4K the 5070 ran at 40 FPS average that has the 5070 TI at 30% ahead with the 470 TI About tied with the 5070 AMD doesn't appear until the 700 XTX down at 20 FPS average that's a massive lead of 99% over the 700 XTX the 570 doubles the 700x tx's performance that's not good for amd's last generation well if that lead can be HED with the new generation though the 5070 leads the 3080 by 44% based on math from amd's claims in its presentation that's about where it should land here too bad no one knows if that's a good reference point yet at 1440p the 570 TI ran at 88 FPS average the 570 at 73 FPS average between the 4070 TI and 470 TI super and the original RTX 70 class card the 2070 ran at 24 amd's best here as of today and not tomorrow is the 700 XTX at 37 FPS average now for 1080p the 570 held a 97 FPS average here encroaching on the 490 but still not beating it the 570 TI leads the 570 by just 15% in this situation with the 570 now ahead of the 470 TI and TI Super Cards after slow gains and other resolutions the 7800 XTX ran at 49 FPS average closer to a 460 and behind the 3070 that's unfortunate AMD named the 380 and it slideshow announcing the card for the 907s if it lands near that Mark it'd be around or ahead of the 66 FPS average result for the ftw3 speaking of evj really knew what was coming when it bailed Drgon Dogma 2 is back with rt now this one is more balanced between the vendors at 4K the 5070 ran at 49 FPS average establishing a 9% lead for the 700 XT it's a similar Gap to what we saw without RT the 5070 TI leads by 30% again here with the 700 XTX leading that at 1440p with rt Drgon Dogma 2 puts the 570 at 83 FPS average reducing the 570 TI's lead to 20 4% the 700xt sits between both with the 7800 XTX ahead of the 570 TI based on the charts AMD has released the math would position the 970 970 XT as flanking the 570 TI but we'll find out soon enough generationally the 570 leads the 470 by 23% the 370s 51 FPS by 62% and the 2070 non super by 145% down to 1080p the 5070 TI's lead over the 570 is now 22% with the 700 XTX still leading the TI and the 7800 XT still leading the 570 the 470 is relatively close to the 570 here now with an 18% advantage to the 570 but maybe the 490 can breathe some excitement into it the 490 ran at 169. 254 by a billion that put it at 107. 4 billion FPS average which is an uplift of 6,347 51673 per.

this is clearly the card to get and as we all know it's not possible to multiply the 490 by arbitrary numbers with loss to scaling because then that would hurt 50 Series marketing d light 2 with rt is next the first one is 4K upscaled for this chart the 570 ran at 44 FPS average here just below the 4070 TI the 700 XTX held 46 FPS average in this one again showing amd's prior deficit in RT performance it's not as bad as in black myth but considering the original pricing of the 4070 TI the s00 XTX AMD was in a position that was hard to fight from we'll see how the 970 series Compares tomorrow at 1440p the 5070 beats the 700 XT by 133% falls behind the 4070 TI and allows the 570 TI which is basically an RTX 480 V3 or V4 a lead of 27% at 1080p upscale the 570 produced 116 FPS average and again sat just below the 470 TI with the 7800 XTX and 7800 XT flanking the 570 the 570 TI ran at 141 FPS average which will be the number for amd's 970 XT to Target generationally the 570 leads the 47 by 25% and the 370 by 58% Resident Evil at 4K upscale ises next this one has the 570 at 91 FPS average roughly tie in the 470 TI once again the 700 XT leads the 570 by 18% with the 570 TI leading by 29% the 700 XCX sits ahead of that at 134 FPS average at 1440p the 570 is 149 FPS average put it 23% ahead of the 470 and 70% ahead of the 3070 the 700xt leads the 470 TI and 570 finally for RTS a lot of charts today finally for RT our new Cyber Punk results with the updated game version First with 4K and RT Ultra the 5070 ran at 17 FPS average this is without upscaling it's intentionally the heaviest workload for gaming we run that positions it right between the 700 XT and 700 XTX that'd be unfortunate positioning if AMD weren't launching something with better RT in a day but we'll have to check back tomorrow for that rank the 570 TI continues its trend of being nvidia's thirdd or fourth duration of a 4080 card and leads the 5070 by huge 56% here the workload is simply too heavy for the 5070 it is dropping frames a lot uh frame time pacing is bad it just can't handle it's getting overrun it has neither the bandwidth nor the compute capability that's why you see that Gap emerge here's RT Ultra at 1080p the 570 held 64 FPS average with these settings putting the 570 TI About 32% ahead the 700 XTX Trail is the 570 here unfortunately for amd's former Flagship we also run RT medium for cyberpunk we found that RT Ultra and RT medium can significantly affect the hierarchical ranking of Nvidia and AMD so we run both Nvidia runs away at Ultra they get closer sometimes here with these settings and at 4K still the 570 now runs at 22. 5 FPS average this reduces the 570 T lead to a more normal 35% the 570 just didn't have the ability to keep up at 4K RT Ultra we'll keep thermal short and simple using our usual Benchmark of Port Royal at 4K and looping we measured the 570 Fe at steady state at around 7 4° CI for GP core temperature the memory temperature was about 76° both of these numbers are acceptable memory is well within spec and it's completely fine here core has some room for a hotter case as in computer case the core temperature isn't impressive but it is acceptable and there's a little bit of buffer there the 570 fees fans ran at about 2500 rpm to maintain this temperature we skipped acoustic testing this time since we have the two 970 reviews to get through so for efficiency as usual we use power interposer PMD 2s in between the GPU and the power supply that means we're intercepting slot power and the pcie power through the cables and we do that so that we can isolate the GPU entirely measure its power consumption during a workload and then we take the frame rate numbers to do some simple math and produce an efficiency number so in these charts you'll get a few things you get the total power consumption for that workload in watts and then you also get its efficiency in fps per watt not workload normalized so we allow it to run it the frame rate uh that it can naturally run at for efficiency with Final Fantasy 14 at 4K we ended up with this data this chart isn't as dense as our 1440p chart that's up next the 570 Fe ran at 0. 33 FPS per watt here pulling 233 Watts during the workload the 570 TI pulled 264 Watts allowing it an improvement and efficiency to 0.

37 FPS per watt amd's prior 7800 XT wasn't particularly efficient giving Nvidia a large advantage and efficiency for the 570 the FPS was close enough to be mostly observably equal to a player but the 7800 XT ran at just 0. 25 FPS per watt from its 324 Watts power draw during the test we'll have to see what the 970 series does to improve this as this has been one of amd's GPU weaknesses over the years at 1440p the 5070 ran at 0. 65 FPS per watt that puts the 5070 TI as about 12% more efficient than the 5070 when producing a variable workload the AMD 7900 XT pulled 325 watts in this test landed at 0.

53 FPS per watt its frame rate is is higher but the power is also disproportionately higher which hurts its efficiency despite a higher frame rate at 1080p the 570 hits nearly 1 FPS per watt the 4060 TI has passed it for efficiency with the 570 TI improved by 0. 11 FPS per watt on top of the 55070 is 1. 0 result the 700 XT is down at 0.

75 and is still pulling about the same power as previously f124 at 4K and with r tracs up next in this one the 5070 produced 0. 17 FPS per watt pulling close to TDP at 240 6 watts in order to produce its hardly playable frame rate the 570 TI ran at 0. 20 FPS per watt with the 480 ranking at the top for its balance of power and frame rate note that bar size changes you might see from numbers that look the same are valid it's just from the hidden decimal places the 700 XT ran at 0.

12 FPS per watt a significant fall from the 507s result the 970 Series has a lot of work to do here uh to start to close the gap with Nvidia which has a major advantage right now in efficiency at 1080p and still with rt the 5070 ran at 0. 55 FPS per watt again giving the 5070 TI a 13% efficiency Advantage we're curious to see where the 970 and 970 XT land the 7900 XT for its case isn't competitive in efficiency with a lot of this particular result being because of its relatively low RT performance last generation and that's what AMD is trying to tackle and black myth who con without RT and at 1080p the 570 TI held a 0. 53 FPS per watt rank putting it in the second slot the 70 is at 0.

48 with the 4060 TI still trading back and forth depending on the test the 7800 XT was at 0. 31 FPS perad with a 7900 XT just below that the 570 is not nvidia's most power efficient card due to the performance trade-offs but it's relatively efficient overall in Drgons Dogma 2 at 1440p and with rt the 570 ranked at 0. 36 FPS per watt sandwiching it between the 490 that it's not better than and the 590 the 700 XD is down at 0.

28 FPS per wat yielding and efficiency benefit in a non-normalized frame rate workload of 29% that'll be the mark for the 970 series to hit finally in Starfield rized at 1440p the 570 ran at 0. 43 FPS per watt and landed just below the 490 which it Remains Not better then again the 7800 XT from AMD ran at 0. 32 FPS per watt so AMD has a lot of ground to gain here tomorrow this will be an area we'll focus on for testing for improvements as theoretically it should be better than it was before we have some more numbers in our upcoming 9070 VI as well so like the 470 super for example reappears in those charts if you're curious about that one we're just holding some stuff for the 970 and the 970 XT cuz those will be pretty big reviews as well so if you want to know where the 470 super is check back for that but it's between the 470 and the 570 one thing for certain though nvidia's marketing about the 570 versus the 490 is wrapped in and built on a foundation of manure which is I guess only fitting for a company whose CEO is constantly wearing leather jackets do you like my jacket so that's it for the benchmarks a lot of benchmarks we added more efficiency than we've had the last several reviews again because we're prepping for AMD to reenter the scene and uh we've gotten the efficiency charts built up now so anyway the current buying experience is completely insane it matches that Co era boom where things went crazy it also kind of matches the 2017 or so crypto mining boom uh both of which depleted Supply we're seeing that again definitely disheartening to see um but anyway uh it's it's crazy it's crazy to go to Newegg and sort by $450 to $650 which used to be like one of the most popular category I mean far enough back it was the flagship high-end but more recent history it's been sort of that modern mid-range really popular price category especially if you start down at 400 450 and uh it's gone it's all it's all gone it's the South Park meme it's gone it's all gone what's all gone the money in your account it didn't do too well it's G what do you mean I I have $100 not anymore you don't poof there's there's nothing left so 7800 XT PSE and a bunch of refurb units and that was it so really crazy makes it very difficult to evaluate value and now fortunately we're going to wait to do that anyway because the 970 the 9070 XE launch tomorrow when this video goes up and that's when we're going to evaluate the value of the 5070 and its direct competitors broadly speaking regardless where it lands we'd say wait for things to cool off if your current machine can last you a little bit longer I mean most people can probably wait at least a day you'll likely save money as pricing settles if saving money doesn't matter to you maybe the time does Because unless you get lucky and snipe an early stock of the cards you may at least be saving some time all right so that's pretty much it as for the value we're going to kick that can to tomorrow's review because we we want that data before we really talk about it I I don't know I need an anchor point to talk about the value and right now there's not really one so uh yeah we're we're going to wait and uh we'll talk about it then but either way we don't think you should buy this card until you learn about the competition as the on paper price is in similar territory and we'll see how the in reality price is for both of them so check back for the 970 XT and the 970 reviews this gets you the basics for now we'll have a lot more to talk about tomorrow thanks for watching subscribe for more to support reviews like this and our independent testing we spend a lot of time on this these days you can go to store.
