Reply to comment by ArgonTheEvil in AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT / XTX review: 4K performance for less | AMD’s top RDNA 3 GPU manages to beat the RTX 4080 in many games at a $200 lower price. But ray-tracing performance is far behind Nvidia. by chrisdh79

Cyberpunk wasn’t the best example, but it ran great most of the time on my 3070oc at 4k. Got a good CPU to match? I’m running a 5800x and it seemed fine.

I do have the factory overclocked version (no overclocking enabled besides the factory setup) so maybe something inside ran better? I know it has quicker memory. I also built the mother of all cooling systems with 3d printed ducting feeding the CPU and GPU so I was always under 60C when under full stress. That helped keep it at full clock speed.

There were certainly times when cyberpunk ran like dog shit but I chalked that up to bad coding. The game itself was hit and miss at best for quality.

I’m using a 5800X3D and while my 3070 isn’t overclocked, it’s running perfectly cool even under full load, so it’s boosting to its max within stock power limits.

But I’m aiming for RT turned on and all the way up, 60fps 1% lows, and DLSS at no lower than quality setting. I don’t know what qualifies as “great” for you but my 3070 wasn’t delivering my version of great last time I tried it in Cyberpunk. Most other games it’s plenty or more than enough, but I’ll hold off playing a game like Cyberpunk until I can do it with all the eye candy.
