Maybe AMD's Radeon RX 9070 series GPUs aren't midrange

Maybe AMD's Radeon RX 9070 series GPUs aren't midrange after all - early Black Ops 6 benchmark shows a 99fps average at 4K without even needing FSR
IGN states that Nvidia's RTX 4080 Super (notably not a midrange GPU) achieves 'around 129fps' using the same graphics settings at the 4K resolution, but with DLSS Quality resolution upscaling enabled - I can corroborate this as a 4080 Super user myself, suggesting that AMD's RDNA 4 GPU may pack a bigger punch than anticipated.
