Someone I know made a point that the official AMD showcase video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhQecal2kE8 ) only referred to FFX(VI), not FFX(IV). Thus the "the outlier" with regards to XIV is probably accurate and something to do with the game itself instead of any specific testing setup or the benchmark itself. AMD never claimed any XIV performance from what I can see, both Gamers Nexus and der8auer probably made a mistake with roman numerals. I was also excited about the 9070 XT but my gaming hours being so majorly XIV will probably make me wait for a nvidia refresh instead since I'm not in a hurry to upgrade.
