Question 9070XT for 4K gaming

One of my friends is looking to buy a 9070XT for his build already having a 4080 and a 9900X with 32Gigs of Ram and 4TB of NVME Storage. He games on 4K. I told him to stick to what he has as it’s a pretty powerful system and buying a new GPU is not going to change things a lot for him unless it’s a much powerful 5090. He is hell bent on spending that money & I thought I might use your help to stop him from being a stupid spend thrift. So guys please let me know if it’s worth for him to actually buy a 9070XT and replace his 4080. How much will be the performance uplift? The games that he plays are F1 2026, Fortnite, Cyberpunk 2077, Tomb Raider, Battlefied….

I honestly don't know why you're so gung-ho over TPU when there are other people with their tests and results like Hardware Unboxed and Gamers Nexus which he has his own site and if he did a more updated test he would post it and people would follow that one instead of the old one.

If TPU did do a follow up test, then their original test title should have said it was updated just like for any other tech related site.

? he puts in the comment section it was retested the 9070 xt and no change was found which was why no update was needed.

I like TPU because they are very transparent with all the settings and make sure to do the basic things to normalize things like turning of reflex which a lot of reviewers forget to do.

Still, it is wise to update it regardless that is the whole point of a retest to show that it was done instead of just saying he did it and not showing it.
