| Captain_Yuri said: I wouldn't be too hyped about the OC numbers until we see more. Techpowerup needed to push the clocks up to 3.2Ghz with aggressive OC, unvolting and Turning to get near the 4090 stock levels in Cyberpunk Raster and we have no idea how much power they needed to push. Most review outlets only managed to OC to 3Ghz with the TUF and the performance ended up being only 5% more in averages which you can easily do with a 4080 as well: https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/asus_tuf_gaming_radeon_rx_7900_xtx_oc_review,30.html Not to mention, 4080 level Ray Tracing would still be too far out of reach even with OC: At best, it will likely be 3090 Ti levels So it's better to wait and see before claiming it will be near the 4090 Raster or 4080 RT levels but it certainly should have been higher than what the reference shipped with. |
TPU managed to hit these frequencies with two out of two though (the XFX and the TUF) while Guru3D's TUF performed worse than TPU's reference card (much lower mem clocks and just 20 MHz more in the GPU clock).
Could be a bad sample, or could be because G3D is using Afterburner instead. Another bugged software wouldn't be a surprise here.
As for ray tracing, I'm thinking more of the average rather than the worst-case scenario (Steve from GN was told by AMD that Cyberpunk 2077's RT is bugged in Radeon). I mean, it's fair to take that into account since it's RTG's fault, but other games exist, too.
