so just yesterday we published our rtx super review and if you're interested in
learning more you can check it out right over here but in it we actually have a
difficult time coming up with a conclusion because we didn't know how
good the AMD rx 5700 series would compete against invidious new GPUs but
with all of yesterday's benchmarks done could we accurately predict where the RX
5700 XT and the RX 5700 would land in comparison to the RTX 2070 super and
the RTX 2060 super did Nvidia get their older GPUs out of trouble just in time
or does AMD now have a serious problem well it turns out Aimee did publish some
pretty specific performance numbers at e3 and that might lead to some
interesting comparison but more on that right after a quick message from our
sponsor the newbie quiet dark rock slim cooler offers high physical clearance
for any memory module thanks to its slim heatsink and the low profile 120 mil
airflow optimized fan so you get great cooling low noise easy installation and
no issues for high profile Ram check it out below alright so I'm gonna start
things off by making something very very clear you should not take this as a
scientifically accurate video and you should definitely not use this for any
purchasing decisions in fact this whole video started as a pretty interesting
test or pretty fun little test to see how accurate and easy three presentation
was but now with the new RTX super cards around we might be able to use
Amy's own numbers to estimate how well the RX 5700 series would compete when
they finally launch next week so let's start with what AMD showed it was this
chart for the rx 5700 which showed a two to 21% advantage over the founders
Edition RTX 2060 and this one had everything from a three percent loss to
a 22 percent gain when the RX 3700 XT was compared against the founders
edition RTX 2070 those are pretty impressive numbers too I want to pause
here for a bit because thought these ten games are the ones we use in our own
benchmarking process while Far Cry New Dawn has nearly identical performance
results s55 since it uses the same game engine now that got Mike and I thinking
about how they would line up against the
benchmarks we used in the super series video from yesterday so basically use
those percentages and extrapolate from our results right well you guys can hate
as much as you want on this but it would be really cool to see how the numbers
would line up when we post our full reviews of the RX 3700 series so before
we get into what we came up with let me explain to you why this is a you know
quick and fun alone comparison that we wanted to try rather than being super
serious get it super serious I don't know I don't know if that was a bad joke
but first of all according to AMD's testing notes they used a stock 9900 can
and we used an overclocked 9900 ex to eliminate any CPU bottlenecks
but luckily these games on CPU limited at 1440p resolution we also have no idea
which scenes AMD chose to benchmark with yet improvements are usually seen across
the entire game and not just a single scene but then there's this which
mysteriously says best performing API for both GPUs and to us that means each
game comparison could have been mixed DX 90 X 11 or DX 12 results which is super
odd and a bit misleading finally we decided to include the RTX 2070
founders Edition but not the RTX 2060 founders Edition and that's because the
2060 founders is in pre overclocked so I just used a stock RTX 2060 in this
place plus we know how AMD used founders edition GPUs since they mentioned it in
a PC world live stream last week but let's get into what we found starting
with assassin's creed the supers actually do improve quite a bit and
adding D 2% improvements for the 5700 and the XT doesn't really change things
by all that much then again moving to Battlefield 5 tells a whole different
story here Nvidia shows some pretty good improvements with the super cards but
add in the 5700 series and o amd's claiming 22% and 21% improvements for
the XT and the non XT cards over the founders editions and that's huge
especially since these two cards cost less than
it is Super Series on the surface of things the supers do well in Far Cry 5
but add the five and twelve percent stated by Amy's presentation and they're
still trailing the rtx 2070 and 2060 Super but really not by all that much
which is likely why Nvidia price their GPUs so close metro Exodus is a pretty
interesting title too since it is an Nvidia friendly title but man AMD claims
of between 15 to 16 percent improvements over the original rtx 2070 and 2060 and
that seems really impressive right here shadow the Tomb Raider is actually an
interesting one here since AMD was pretty open about showing the RX 5700 XT
losing by 3% and the 5700 winning by 6% pop in those into our chart and this is
what you get I won't make any conclusions but like I said it's nice to
see a company admitting where some up improvements are needed
finally there's Witcher 3 which hasn't been a really kind title for AMD since
the beginning but it's still an awesome game and again the AMD cards slide right
in between the Super Series but imagine if those cards wouldn't have launched
Nvidia could have been in some trouble so looking at the results they should
give you at least a vague idea on how md claims there RX 5700 Series GPUs
would stack up against the RTX super cards now as I mentioned at the very
beginning of this video please do take these unscientific results with a grain
of salt and I'm completely aware that will get hate from both sides but heck I
think that this was a pretty cool comparison either way now what I'm
really looking forward to seeing is how these numbers would turn out into
reality when the 5700 XT and the 5700 reviews get published next week some
stoked for that but based on all of this it's possible that Nvidia may have been
a bit too conservative with the super series pricing maybe all they did was to
avoid the rx 5700 series rather than competing with it but that could
also mean that AMD is in a pretty good position personally I think the most
important aspect is the way T online app has finally been able to achieve good
results against the RTX series at similar power consumption numbers
remember the RTX 5700 XT has a board power of 2
25 watts and the 5700 has 185 however Nvidia needed to really push
their 12 nanometer process here with the RTX 2070 super at 215 watts and the
2060 super at 175 watts so should AMD be worried well if we use their
benchmark numbers absolutely not but we're just have to wait or hold our
breath for just a bit longer so that we could paint the whole picture as to what
both teams are offering especially for the price points and we'll have
scientific results to prove that so let me know what you guys think about this
little quick comparison a pretty fun one actually in the comments I'm curious to
know I'm me both harken acts thank you so much for watching make sure to check
