RX 9070 XT Performance Test: Detailed Results and Analysis Released
After Nvidia recently wrapped up performance testing for the entire RTX 50 series lineup, AMD has now unveiled the benchmark results for its next-generation RX 90 series graphics cards based on the RDNA 4 architecture. This includes the high-end RX 9070 XT and the more affordable RX 9070 models.
The RDNA 4 architecture introduces cutting-edge ray tracing units and AI accelerators compared to its predecessor, RDNA 3, delivering significant enhancements in both ray tracing and AI acceleration capabilities. Ray tracing performance soars over 30% higher than the previous generation. Moreover, thanks to the advanced 4nm manufacturing process, energy efficiency has seen a remarkable boost.
Operating at around 300W, it outperforms the RX 7900 XT with the same power consumption (nearly matching the RX 7900 XTX). Its rasterization performance edges ahead of the RTX 5070 Ti by nearly 10%, while ray tracing performance closely rivals that of the RTX 5070 Ti. In practical gaming scenarios, performance is roughly on par with the RTX 5070 Ti, though there’s a notable disparity in pricing, reminiscent of the initial launch of the first-gen RDNA architecture card, the RX 5700 XT.
Currently, FSR 4 hasn’t been rolled out yet, so the precise performance and comparison with DLSS 4 will be revealed in due course.
In a market where the RTX 50 series has underwhelmed, leaving many gamers disappointed, AMD’s RDNA 4 shines brightly. It not only maintains steady progress in rasterization performance but also elevates ray tracing capabilities to a genuinely usable level, effectively addressing past criticisms about subpar ray tracing in AMD GPUs.
Furthermore, judging from the pre-sale trends of the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070, the actual purchase prices remain close to the official suggested starting price, offering gamers renewed hope for obtaining a competitively priced graphics card.

I’m really impressed with how AMD has pushed the boundaries with the RDNA 4 architecture—those ray tracing improvements sound game-changing. It’ll be interesting to see how the RX 9070 XT stacks up against the latest Nvidia cards in real-world scenarios. I wonder if the price difference between the 9070 XT and 9070 will make a big enough performance gap to justify the upgrade. Guess we’ll find out soon!
Absolutely, the RDNA 4 improvements are impressive! The gap between the RX 9070 XT and 9070 could indeed be meaningful, especially with ray tracing, but real-world performance often depends on specific use cases. Price vs. performance is always a考量, so it’ll be key to weigh your needs against the cost. Thanks for the great question—stay tuned for more insights as we dive deeper into these comparisons!
I’m really impressed with how much RDNA 4 improves ray tracing performance compared to RDNA 3. It’ll be interesting to see how these new AMD cards stack up against the latest NVIDIA offerings in real-world gaming scenarios. The price difference between the RX 9070 XT and the regular RX 9070 could make the latter a strong contender for budget-conscious gamers. Overall, it seems like AMD is pushing hard to regain market share with these new releases.
Absolutely agree! RDNA 4’s advancements in ray tracing are impressive, and it’ll definitely be exciting to see how these GPUs perform head-to-head with NVIDIA’s latest cards. The price differential between the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 does make the latter an attractive option for budget-conscious players. Kudos to AMD for pushing innovation—I think they’re on the right track to win back more users. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
The RX 9070 XT seems like a solid contender with those new ray tracing units and AI accelerators. I’m curious how it stacks up against the RTX 50 series in real-world gaming scenarios though. It’ll be interesting to see if AMD can close the gap in terms of raw performance. Overall, this looks like a big step forward for AMD’s lineup.
I’m really impressed with how AMD has pushed the boundaries with the RDNA 4 architecture, especially the improvements in ray tracing. It’ll be interesting to see how these cards stack up against Nvidia’s latest offerings in terms of price and performance.
The RDNA 4 improvements sound promising, especially the ray tracing and AI upgrades. Can’t wait to see how the RX 9070 XT stacks up against Nvidia’s RTX 50 series in real-world gaming tests. Hopefully, AMD keeps the pricing competitive too!
The RDNA 4 improvements sound promising, especially with better ray tracing and AI performance. I’m curious how the RX 9070 XT stacks up against Nvidia’s RTX 50 series in real-world gaming—any chance we’ll see side-by-side comparisons soon? The price point will be key though, AMD always has an edge there.
Thanks for your interest! While we don’t have RTX 50 series benchmarks yet, we’re planning a detailed comparison once both cards are available—stay tuned for that. I agree AMD’s pricing could be a strong advantage, especially if the performance gap narrows. Your point about ray tracing and AI improvements is spot on; RDNA 4 looks very competitive so far!
