Indiana Jones the Great Circle [4K] RTX 4090 VS RX 7900XTX + Ryzen 9800X 3D

[@TerraWare]

Pretty solid numbers from both GPU's running this game at native 4K. I hope you all had a great Christmas and holidays and continue to do so. Cheers!

[@Abenteuerlich]

For RTX 4090 you should choose higher Settings, try with DL-DSR, DLSS + Frame Generation while let Full Ray Tracing enabled, this is the way how this Game is optimized for. For working Frame Generation and unlocked frame rates in Cutscenes there is a Patch available, overall the Image Quality is way, way better compared to Standard GI!

[@Abenteuerlich]

Whats the Point of this Comparison?!? the RTX 4090 performs in a class of its own, even a RTX 4080/Super is already faster than a 7900XTX see also the current Techpowerup benchmarks with the latest games. You should use Full RT Settings all other makes no sense... Some criticism should be ok as long as it remains constructive.

[@TerraWare]

@@Abenteuerlich Shouldn't be that difficult to understand from an enthusiasts perspective anyway. Curiosity. Hardware Unboxed has compared these two GPU's so have many other channels, big and small. It's the best of Nvidia and AMD. I'm a hardware enthusiast and make content about things I find interesting and I've compared these two GPU's in a ton of other videos and many of my subscribers like them and will continue to make the content I want to make and my subscribers enjoy. It's really that simple. It's also worth mentioning that the Full RT settings aren't available on Radeon, as in they don't show up.

[@Abenteuerlich]

@@TerraWare Why break it all down to normal settings just because AMD doesn't support Full RT? It just gave me a strange impression that the RTX 4090 wanted to look worse than it is. That's why you should show all the graphical eye candy, the way most people like it and play it. I didn't want to play a head teacher either, yet an RTX 4090 can definitely do more than this video shows, hence my suggestion, take a look at 5K DL-DSR with DLSS performance and frame generation, the game is mostly between 80-90fps and smooth playable, even if the jungle is more challenging at the beginning, it's not representative of the whole game. Thanks for your response! No offense meant, it speaks for you that you face up to the criticism.

Bro is trying to call Radeon garbage. He doesn't even realize that the 7900XTX is an RTX 4080 competitor, not a 4090 competitor. I myself have a 7900XTX and love it, the performance and ram for the price you can't beat it.

[@dougquaid570]

Regardless of which card you're running on this game, you're getting a great game and a great experience.

[@TerraWare]

Very true and runs really well on weaker GPU too. Radeon are at a bit of a disadvantage not having FSR in yet because using dynamic rea doesn't look particularly great but yea. We were able to do native 4K 60 on the 6800XT video too.

[@lawyerlawyer1215]

This speaks volumes about how optimized the base RT Gi is on this game. On average when RT GI is enabled the 4090 is about 60% faster than the 7900XTX and here the difference is almost the not much more than the normal raster difference between 4090 and 7900XTX wich is of around 20-25%

[@TerraWare]

Yes very true. I found the XTX to be closer than I'd thought considering RT GI is maxed out. This game is quite well optimized imo. Very scalable. A bit VRAM hungry for 8GB cards but a worthy tradeoff for how good it looks and runs.

[@lawyerlawyer1215]

@@TerraWare absolutely! The fact that it can do native 1080P 60fps with RTGI, on an rtx 2060 when tweaking the right settings, speaks volumes. I will always applaud a game with scalability on its settings. Lately it feels like the only setting worth while changing is the upscaler preset, everything else seems to give small performance uplifts for small visual cutbacks. In this game low settings still looks “decent” and grants a decent deal of performance back! Great video, just found your channel and subscribed. I would also have loved, even for academic purposes only, to see how path tracing runner on the 7900XTX here btw!

[@TerraWare]

@@lawyerlawyer1215 Thanks for the sub. Appreciate it. It would be interesting to see how PT would run were it available. Hopefully it will be soon. My guess is being a proprietary engine it's probably not ready going by what the devs said about FSR and their Vulkan engine, it requires a bit more work.

[@Mostly_Positive_Reviews]

@2:16 seems to be the issue I covered in my video, right? Those small blips on the frametime graph as you turn. Doesnt seem to affect it as badly as Plague Tale, but the Radeon GPU doesnt have that.

[@TerraWare]

Probably yea. I tried running through this same area, at 3440 X 1440 this time so overall FPS is higher but no blips really.

@@odie5268 My 7900XTX only does ~300W since that's my powerlimit on it. I tried rising it to 380W or so what the reference model allows me to overclock, but that only resulted like 2 more fps in Jedi survivor at 4k when the FPS was in the 80's. Same for Path of Exile 2. 108 fps to 106. Not worth the 100W increase in power, so don't take that high OC version numbers to your heart. It's way better to just undervolt both 4090 and 7900XTX while really not losing any of the performance.

[@Muppet-kz2nc]

4090 is an absolute beast.

[@originalshirley]

What is up with the power draw on the XTX?? I thought it was like 350-something max.

Nvm just read what kind of XTX it was but still 450 watts is wild.

[@Accuaro]

When FSR 4 is announced (along with RDNA4) I hope AMD puts it in a lot games that have already released :)

[@Columbus666]

Nice video ! The 7900XTX competes with the 4080 and 4080 Super, they would have been more relevant in terms of price compare to 4090. The only "flaw" with AMD is still Ray Tracing, it depends on whether you find this technology useful. Personally, I must admit that in certain games, the visual difference is improved (Alan Wake II / Cyberpunk). However, it's not super obvious in all games; you often have to pause and start playing detective to spot the differences. I hope AMD can make a huge advance with RDNA4 to improve this.

[@TerraWare]

It's just for fun since I own both GPU's and they are the best of each brand currently. I've made a ton of videos comparing these two and its always pretty interesting. People like it.

[@Kankipappa]

One problem is that those examples you gave are fully Nvidia sponsored tiles. Just like Witcher 3 and Control was. They intentionally use inferior non-RT solutions to sell you the Nvidia RT experience. It's like those games can't draw basic mirrors without RT at all, and many places in Cyberpunk just doesn't have a correct "ambient lightning" done without RT being on. Hell Cyberpunk can't even render water reflections without RT (lol). It's a bit shame and scummy tactic but hey, Nvidia only tech can give you more impressive visuals when cranked to the max so yeah, those gaming studios took the sponsored route...

[@cezz1105]

Maybe it's just me. But look at the image at 7:05. I think the one with RT off looks better.🤔

[@TerraWare]

I think it's just you lol but that's fine if that's what you think looks better. Full RT has ray traced subsurface scattering on plants simulating sunlight and how it lights up and travels through semi transparent surfaces like plant leaves its why there's a greenish glow in the jungle area with full RT enabled. Indirect lighting.

[@SpawnBootcamp]

I agree

[@Kankipappa]

@@TerraWare It's nice, but when the other result is delayed motion with blurryness with sandpaper effect on shadows, the overall visual improvement isn't even flawless over the performance it gives cost. RT is nice for the future but all the real visual improvements look rather meh, when looking them more closely.

[@jaxzor]

idk what they did to last driver.. but my 7900XTX runs like 15% faster than before lol

[@Edelgul1717]

Which one? I though last driver is two months old.

[@kinzie3915]

Nice to see 4090 being only up to 35% faster than 7900XTX while being double the price.

[@TerraWare]

It's a halo product. 4080 Super is around same raster level as 7900 XTX and similar price.

[@kinzie3915]

One wise man said it clearly: "7900 XTX is not a halo card because it can't compete with the 4090, which is. Therefore there's no justification for AMD charging a halo price for the 7900 XTX, just like there's no justification for making excuses for either NVIDIA or AMD increasing prices simply because they want to." So nope, calling the card that costs from 900 to 1100 "halo product" is just dumb. And yeah I can easily find Sapphire Nitro+ for 999€ which is actually the best 7900XTX out here. The cheapest 4080S here costs ~1150€. Minus 8GB vram that hurts performance at 4k full RT+PT. I would rather spend 1000 for Radeon than Ngreedia.

[@TerraWare]

@@kinzie3915 The halo product was in reference to my 4090. Not the 4080. Im not sure what you're on about because the 7900XTX is a 4080 Super competitor and they both perform relatively similar with XTX being a bit higher in raster but worse in RT and upscaling. Pick you poison I guess. I genuinely dont care what you buy btw. Whatever makes you happy. I'm happy with what I buy. I enjoy all of them.

[@kinzie3915]

@@TerraWare If I should grab one of these, it would be That Nitro+ for 999€ just because of 24gb of vram.. on the other hand if the 4080s was at ~1000.. I would try that gpu. Sadly it's too late for them anyway because new gpus are coming.

[@LukewarmEnthusiast]

The best way to run this game on the XTX is with everything maxed out in-game at native resolution and use AFMF2 in Adrenalin. Then set an FPS limit at half of your monitor's refresh or just a tad below to make sure you don't go over your VRR range. It's absurdly smooth while consuming far less power.

[@Nmzotic]

@@LukewarmEnthusiast great, btw can we also do it by fps cap using rivatuner?

[@dougquaid570]

[@justanotherlikeyou]

Not really a good comparison, tbh. Anyone, like myself, that has a 4090 is going to enable full path-tracing in Indiana Jones. That's the whole point of having a 4090, no compromises. And of course the 7900xtx would've got absolutely crushed in that scenario. That's why it's a bad comparison. A much better comparison would've been the 4090 vs 4080 I think. Both can do rt well and you can enable path-tracing without the 4080 dying a miserable death.

[@CharcharoExplorer]

I have a question on your 7900 XTX IS it OCed? Also - what is the hot stop delta vs the edge temp? I am asking because i have the Asrock Phantom Gaming one and its great overall but while edge temps are like 64 degrees, the hot spot is at 96 or so. Which is weird to me.

[@TerraWare]

I've the Sapphire Nitro+ and yeah it's manually OCed, both GPU's are. My delta between edge and hotspot is around 20C which is quite normal. Yours appears a bit higher than I would've expected butI don't know a ton about the Phantom Gaming. I don't think its anything worth worrying about as long as its around 95C, as far as I'm aware that's within spec.

[@nikolaterziev93]

Hey! I have phantom gaming and i made custom fan curve. Otherwise i had same delta difference. Now with custom fan curve my difference is between 12-17c.

​@@TerraWarehi! Are you running custom fan curve and fans always on with zero fan rpm disabled?

[@CharcharoExplorer]

@@nikolaterziev93 I see. The default is like that. I decided to undervolt it a bit and power limit it - this now made the temps 60/88 Which while still a high delta - I cant hear the GPU no more so its fine.

​@nikolaterziev93 Yes custom with zero RPM enabled.

[@Snoopmasta]

As I've been in the market for either card, it's nice to see that the XTX is still a strong card. Love the comparison and have to say that the 4090 is quite efficient under those circumstances. I got mine running at 70% power target and am very happy with the efficiency. It's fast enough anyways to drive the 100 Hz my monitor can handle.

[@Player_g1]

also something bother me about 7900 xtx is W usage 460 instead of 4090 370~ W

[@Federico555118922]

Why is the Frame time graph for the 7900xtx flatter than the 4090?

[@TerraWare]

XTX is pretty smooth.

[@trauma50disaster1]

I turn each setting down and compare and most of the time I hardly ever notice much difference. So I'm able to run low setting and it looks fine at 4k. I once noticed a shadow render line (you or someone pointed it out prior) and when I adjusted shadows to the highest selection it improved but didn't take it away, so I dropped it down for fps. I compared to the xsx version and tbh I'm actually fine with that version. I guess if you start with pong all of it looks good to me.

[@Analog_AI]

After last update on 4070 ti super when i turn on FG FPS goin down. When Patch tracing launch i can use ultra settings and 3/4 patch tracing option now is impossible because game running in 20fps, now must use high with patch tracing.

[@TerraWare]

If I had to guess you could be running into a VRAM limit. Try lowering Texture Pool Size to ULTRA. Restart the game and see what happens.

[@TerraWare]

Radeon make some stupid ass decisions sometimes. it honestly pisses me off. The hardware is good, the software is good but pricing at launch and marketing especially need a revamp. I would've marketed the heck out of their FSR FG advantage this generation and in a lot of cases smooth frametimes. Benchmark the heck out of F2P games and advertise it. Now they change the naming again if the 9070Xt is true. That's dumb and confusing.

[@Accuaro]

​@@TerraWare Yeah AMD does that, high price at launch and slowly drop prices. Get initial negative reviews but then become good budget offerings. Reason? IDK. Also don't get me started on their marketing LOL. I like what Intel is doing with naming, it's alphabetical defining the generation, then numerical to delineate the model. AMD is just all over the place, including their CPUs. Went from 1, 2, 3000 to jumping a thousand to 5000. Mobile parts? May as well be a random number/letter generator obfuscating products to confuse potential customers. What are they called now? Ryzen AI 300 series Pro Max ?? Must be illegal for AMD to have consistent naming/branding.

The devs did an interview with DF and were asked about FSR. They said they didn't have enough time to include it at launch because of their engine and Vulkan it was more complicated to integrate and they must test it to work properly in the whole game thus will be coming later. Full RT works with 12GB GPU. I was running it on my 3080Ti at 1440P. Why Full RT isn't available on Radeon yet I don't think it's some conspiracy theory because it doesn't make any sense, Radeon aren't competitive in PT. It could be leading to crashes or not running properly given its a modified version of ID Tech would be my guess. I don't know. Something similar was happening with Wukong when running Full RT on Radeon the shadows and AO didn't look right and the hit to performance was immense and that was a UE5 game, very well supported by AMD and Nvidia.

For me is the fact this game can use so much VRAM. 16GB cards like the 4080s are held back in this title becasue of lack of said VRAM. And the 5080 will be 16GB too. Nvidia are making it clear they do not care about the end user.

[@TerraWare]

I hear ya, this games a bit of an outlier though since it uses a lot of vram and 4080 runs out at 4K with everything maxed out, PT and DLSS FG. It's quite the predicament because Nvidia can be stingy with vram, especially in the low end and the competition is generous with VRAM but not great in heavy RT or PT which is when the 4080 could run into vram issues in the future.

Fair enough but you need RT hardware to run this game and going forward there will be more and more games like this.

[@Mcnooblet]

It will get there. When I play Cyberpunk path traced, I choose to turn it on and sacrifice elsewhere. My first RT experiences on PS5 and weaker hardware left a lot to be desired, and made RT not look impressive at all. It isn't the tech that is bad though, it is the performance and application. With a path traced Cyberpunk, when you shut it off, you can clearly see how the lights are kind of in boxes and doesn't spread out well vs a path traced game play. The lighting ends up looking fake without PT.

[@teggsy2165]

AMD 100 watts more is a no no for me.

My reference 7900XTX uses 310W with -10% powertarget and basically I lose ~2 fps over overclocking it to +15% powerlimit, which for me is 380W. Even that 4090 can be undervolted with like -5% hit to performance. I wouldn't stare those power numbers on overclocked cards.

[@5thdimensionfpv390]

But why u comparing 2 cards that is not competing with eacother? The 4080 is the 7900xtx competitor

[@TerraWare]

I didn't know there were rules about what you are and aren't allowed to compare? I've compared my 3080Ti to 4090 and 6800XT to 7900XTX. Besides the 4090 and 7900XTX is the best Nvidia and AMD current GPU. But to answer your question its what I want to do and a lot of people subscribe and watch these comparisons which Ive been doing for quite a while now on top of other type of content I like to make.

[@5thdimensionfpv390]

@TerraWare i understand, but its like taking the 4080 to compare with the 4090. So i won't sub since it's a way off comparison to what AMD and NVIDIA have claimed.

NVIDIA continues to disregard crashing issues in Marvel Rivals and God of War Ragnarök with latest NVIDIA drivers. While the latest driver actually claims to fix a crashing issue in GoW, it did absolutely nothing about it. My guess is that they don't bother testing for longer than an hour, which is when this issue pops up. Always consistently somewhere within one to 2 hours the game image freezes with the audio playing and the pc responding normally.

[@TerraWare]

Is that right? I can test out GOW, I am playing through it. Marvel Rivals I have it installed but havent really played. Is it the 566.45 hotfix that still crashes?

[@oropher1234]

@@TerraWare Well, i am not entirely sure if everyone has it, but there is quite the number of people with the same issue. The hotfix mentions 2 games but not GOW or Marvel Rivals. The 566.36 driver does mention it fixes crashing in GOW but the freezing issue never changed for me. Freezing issue dissapears on 561.09 but that gives me terrible performance in the realm between realms. The number of reports on this issue is not very big, but considering it only happens after 1 to 2 hours of play, that may not be too strange. Most people reporting the issue had high-end systems btw.

[@TerraWare]

@@oropher1234 I see. I'll look into. Sometimes its a matter of raising enough awareness. I believe my 2 videos I did about the frame pacing issues in Indiana Jones narrowing it down probably had some influence in the hotfix since those videos got quite a bit of views and we were also talking about it on X. Also sent it to my contact.

@@TerraWare Thanks alot !

[@oropher1234]

@@TerraWare And ? Did you encounter the issue as well ?

[@Player_g1]

its 36% more fps not 136% because 7900 xtx is 100%

[@TerraWare]

Um. Yeah. Relative performance. If XTX is 100% the 4090 is 136%. Its *not 136% faster. That would make 236%

[@Player_g1]

@TerraWare you are right but saying it in just (rtx 4090) 36% faster than xtx is easier to understand and 73.5% for the xtx performance compared to the 4090 performance

[@alitekken]

7900xtx for losers 😂

[@TerraWare]

No way. The XTX is a pretty solid GPU

[@GameTechLead]

What is the purpose of this video? This comparison doesn't actually have any valuable information. Comparing completely different price point of GPU? Why?

[@TerraWare]

Well, because its what I want to do.

[@GameTechLead]

@@TerraWare But this is misleading. These GPUs are not comparable. It would make much more sense to show their results separately or maybe compare 4080 to 7900 XTX (even though 4080 is still more expensive than 7900 XTX).

[@TerraWare]

You can compare whatever you want as long as you're transparent about it. In this context it's the best of Nvidia and AMD head to head. You may not like it and that's fine but I and many subscribers of mine like these comparisons.

[@GameTechLead]

@@TerraWare So why not to include Intel Arc B580 into this comparison?

[@TerraWare]

@@GameTechLead Here's a better idea. Why don't you make your own channel buy the hardware with your money and compare and do whatever you want.

[@maniakfps249]

Nvidia overclocked vs amd stock lol nice bechmark

[@TerraWare]

A Sapphire Nitro+ 7900XTX running at 2.8ghz pulling 450 watts is stock?
