AI Benchmarks
Now some people don’t need a video card for gaming, they need the processing power for rendering or 2D/3D production, or in some cases, people who game also do work on the side. AI performance importance has increased quickly recently as well. So it is also important to check out the compute and AI performance on all of the video cards that come in. That includes doing a few different tests. My first test was Geekbench AI, a cross platform AI benchmark that uses real-world machine learning tasks giving three results, a full precision score, half precision score, and quantized score. The Acer RX 9070 Nitro OC came in surprisingly close to the RX 7900 XTX here and is sitting in front of the RTX 5070.
I would typically also include Blender tests here but AMD didn’t have support on the Blender Benchmarks 4.3 but did have support with the actual 4.4 Blender program but with the launches stacked up I wasn’t able to fit that testing in.
