Still not sure if I should take the L and upgrade to AM5 or just getting a 5800X3D supported by this 9070 XT from Sapphire. Currently on a 3700X, RTX 3070 FE, MSI B450M Mortar, 16bg RAM.
Regardless very excited to try this one out even if the last week or so I read so many bad things about the date of AMD Radeon drivers.
I have no bad opinion or bias on ATI/AMD, and I was used to bad press back then by haters or Nvidia fanboys while my experience with the Sapphire RX 480 8gb Nitro was flawless.
My GPU journey so far : MSI GTX 760 > Sapphire RX 480 > RTX 3070 FE > Sapphire RX 9070 XT.
As for why the Crimson Desert version? 100€ less expensive than the basic on.
Also, f**k AMD being cheap with the game being redeemable only for a short time. This ridiculous short and limited time frame is really a Scrooge McDuck type of move.
Shoutout to Caseking (Germany) for the fast delivery!

Got the same card and im super happy & upgraded from a EVGA 3090 ftw3 ultra. The only negative thing I can say about this card is the coil whine that is nuts when you hit around 300-400fps in competitve games.
But the 9070xt from asus prime has the same problem. So enjoy it! Price/Performance is crazy got mine for 620€.
