AMD RX 9070 Review ft. Sapphire

Alan Wake 2 is a 2023 survival horror game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Epic Games Publishing. A sequel to Alan Wake, the story follows best-selling novelist Alan Wake, who has been trapped in an alternate dimension for 13 years, as he attempts to escape by writing a horror story involving an FBI special agent named Saga Anderson. The game was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 27 October 2023. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Northlight. We test using the High preset, FSR set to native resolution, DX12 API.

Starting things off with Alan Wake 2, at 1440p the RX 9070 hits 68fps on average, putting it about level with Nvidia's RTX 4070 Ti Super, giving it a strong 17% advantage over the RTX 5070.

Up at 4K, we see some more dubious-looking 1% lows from the new RDNA 4 GPUs – the average frame rate is still in line with the 4070 Ti Super, but the frame times take a hit. Something for the Radeon division to iron out with a future driver update for sure.
