Rumors surrounding the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT have been gaining momentum, suggesting that this RDNA 4-based GPU could rival NVIDIA’s RTX 4080. According to Wccftech, a user on the Anandtech forum (Gaav87) shared a FurMark benchmark result for the Gigabyte (Gaming OC) RX 9070 XT. The results were impressive: it scored 20,732 points (345 frames per second) in the OpenGL graphics stress test at 1080p resolution.
If accurate, this indicates that the RX 9070 XT might match—or even slightly surpass—the performance of the RTX 4080.
That said, it’s important to note that this test was conducted in a Linux environment, whereas the RTX 4080’s benchmark was performed on Windows, making the comparison less than perfectly fair. Moreover, other leaked data suggests the RX 9070 XT performs similarly to the RX 7900 XTX and falls within the RTX 4080’s performance range. There are even whispers that during development, AMD set the RX 9070 XT’s target slightly higher than NVIDIA’s RTX 4080 Founders Edition.
Beyond performance, cooling efficiency is another critical factor for users. Recent leaks reveal that the RX 9070 XT maintained an impressive temperature of just 55 degrees Celsius during the FurMark stress test, showcasing its exceptional thermal management capabilities.
While these details are undeniably exciting, caution is warranted as all of this remains unverified leaked information. The true performance and pricing will only be revealed at AMD’s upcoming RDNA 4 launch event. Many hope AMD will deliver a competitive price point—not only matching NVIDIA but also offering consumers more value for their money.
In summary, the RX 9070 XT’s performance and cooling prowess highlight AMD’s formidable presence in the GPU market. With the right pricing strategy, this GPU could become a sought-after option, delivering high-performance graphics processing for both gamers and professionals alike.
