Notes on 19 values — test conditions and caveats
- 1AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Release date: First retail sale December 13, 2022; announced November 3, 2022.
- 2AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, Launch price: Launch MSRP was $349, but most 16GB models initially sold higher; Tom's Hardware saw them starting at $389.
- 3AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, Launch price: TechSpot reports AMD subsidizes this MSRP with a $50 retailer rebate, so street prices often run higher.
- 4AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Launch price: AMD's launch figure is the SEP (suggested e-commerce price); partner cards often sold higher.
- 5AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, Boost clock: TechSpot's 2400 MHz figure is AMD's 'game' clock; the boost rating is 2970 MHz.
- 6AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Boost clock: Boost is a burst maximum; typical gaming runs near the 2300 MHz game clock.
- 7AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Memory bandwidth: AMD also quotes 3500 GB/s 'effective' bandwidth with Infinity Cache; 960 GB/s is the raw VRAM figure.
- 8NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's 550 W minimum assumes a Ryzen 9 9950X system; requirements vary with your configuration.
- 9AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Recommended PSU: AMD's 800W minimum assumes a Ryzen 9 5900X-class system; other builds may need more headroom.
- 10NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, Power connectors: Native input is one 8-pin; NVIDIA's 300 W+ PCIe Gen 5 PSU-cable option works via the in-box adapter.
- 11AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, Power connectors: Corsair notes a few partner 90-series cards use 12V-2x6; the vast majority use 2x 8-pin.
- 12AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Power connectors: The reference card uses two 8-pin connectors.
- 13NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, DisplayPort version: NVIDIA specifies UHBR20 on these DisplayPort 2.1b outputs.
- 14AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, DisplayPort version: TechPowerUp specifies the DisplayPort outputs as UHBR13.5.
- 15AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1 runs UHBR 13.5, up to 54Gbps of display link bandwidth per AMD.
- 16AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, HDMI outputs: AMD sells no reference card; this is the reference-design I/O. Partner cards can differ (Sapphire Pulse: 2 HDMI, 1 DP).
- 17AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, DisplayPort outputs: AMD sells no reference card; this is the reference-design I/O. Partner cards can differ (Sapphire Pulse: 2 HDMI, 1 DP).
- 18AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Hardware encode: AMD's spec table marks 4K H264 Encode, H265/HEVC Encode and AV1 Encode all as Yes.
- 19AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Video encoders: AMD describes a Dual Media Engine, i.e. two encode/decode engines, capable of simultaneous 8K60 HEVC streams.
