AMD RX 9070 XT Review ft. ASRock

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.

Kicking off with Alan Wake 2, it's a strong start for the RX 9070 XT given it averages 77fps, putting it level with the RTX 4080 Super, and about 6% ahead of the RTX 5070 Ti at 1440p.

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 4080 Super, but the frame times take a hit. Something for the Radeon division to iron out with a future driver update for sure.
