I recently published a video where I tested an AMD GPU for 30 days. This GPU became my daily driver—the Radeon RX 9070 XT. I shared everything that happened along the way. However, in that video, I also showed some benchmarks of the 9070 XT running Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K with path tracing enabled. The performance was terrible.

Some commenters challenged this and asked me to re-test. After installing the latest AMD driver, I ran the tests again. These are the new and improved performance results.
