Holy benchmarking gamers !!!

I used Nitro+ RX9070XT for 1 year without issues, including with the 12VHPWR. I was surprised by how stable the drivers were. However, recent silences from the company have me concerned. These are the reasons I switched to a 5080

• Vulkan upscaling is better with Nvidia. Doom: The Dark Ages and Indiana Jones are still stuck with FSR3. I play a lot of ID Tech and Machine Games games,
• 50-90% performance with Path Tracing, and more games that will use Path Tracing,
• Multi-Frame Generation,
• Better Anti Lag,
• Ray Construction in more games,
• DLSS 4.5 Model M for performance upscaling.
• Slightly better Standard Ray Tracing,
• More games support DLSS (older).
• Frequent driver updates. Mine has been stable.
• Gaming average TDP ~ 240W. Better than RX9070XT (330W)
• GPU Temp when gaming average: 60C

What I love about Radeon RX9070XT:

• Adrenaline is really good
• Good Ray Tracing
• Rasterisation is close to or on Par with the 5080 (0-20%), depending on the game.
• FSR4 is good, and more new games will support this.
• Drivers were good in my use case and stable.

I will buy RDNA 5 when it comes out. I understand that AMD has its hands full with Xbox, PlayStation, and other handhelds, but it also needs to invest in Radeon dGPUs.
