Doom: The Dark Ages benchmark shows RX 9700 XT matches RTX 5080 as AMD takes lead

[Redaktion]

Doom: The Dark Ages has been tested with the latest and greatest desktop GPUs like the RTX 5090, the RTX 5080, the RX 9070 XT, and so on. AMD GPUs seem to perform better than their AMD counterparts. For instance, at 1440p, the RX 9070 XT performs similar to the RTX 5080.

The 5070 ti performs better in more games overall than the 9070 xt does. Also only the first wave of amd cards were msrp they even said that was going to be the case before the cards released. Now the 9070 xt is more than a 5070 TI. I just built a new pc this week and went with a 5070 ti due to it being the only of the two I could get at msrp. The 9070 xt at the cheapest I could find was $850 that's $100 more than I got my 5070tiI for and $250 over msrp. Amd really disappointed me this time.

These comparisons need to include what these cards actually cost. The 9070XT isn't under cutting a 5070Ti right now, in fact lowest prices tend to be $100 more, even though it supposed to be cheaper or at least about the same.

Add that this is one of the first games it outperforms, I wouldn't buy one based solely on this review. It's good to narrow the gap but it's hardly revolutionary.
