Notes on 18 values — test conditions and caveats

¹AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Release date: First retail sale December 13, 2022; announced November 3, 2022.
²NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $749 is the starting MSRP for partner cards.
³AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Launch price: AMD's launch figure is the SEP (suggested e-commerce price); partner cards often sold higher.
⁴AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Boost clock: Boost is a burst maximum; typical gaming runs near the 2300 MHz game clock.
⁵AMD 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.
⁶NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; it recommends a PCIe CEM 5.1 compliant PSU.
⁷NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; it recommends a PCIe CEM 5.1 compliant PSU.
⁸AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Recommended PSU: AMD's 800W minimum assumes a Ryzen 9 5900X-class system; other builds may need more headroom.
⁹NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, Power connectors: One 16-pin 12V-2x6 socket; an adapter for two 8-pin cables comes in the box.
¹⁰AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Power connectors: The reference card uses two 8-pin connectors.
¹¹NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
¹²NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at UHBR20 on all three DP outputs.
¹³NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at UHBR20 on all three DP outputs.
¹⁴AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1 runs UHBR 13.5, up to 54Gbps of display link bandwidth per AMD.
¹⁵AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Hardware encode: AMD's spec table marks 4K H264 Encode, H265/HEVC Encode and AV1 Encode all as Yes.
¹⁶AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Video encoders: AMD describes a Dual Media Engine, i.e. two encode/decode engines, capable of simultaneous 8K60 HEVC streams.
¹⁷NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, Slot width: The card is 2-slot (40 mm thick), but NVIDIA's install guide asks for 3-slot (61 mm) case clearance.
¹⁸NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, Slot width: The card is 2-slot, but NVIDIA's install guide asks for 3-slot (61 mm) case clearance.
