The Techspot review dives deep into AMD's new Radeon RX 9070 XT, comparing it against Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti and previous-gen AMD cards. Here's a breakdown of the key findings:
Performance Analysis:
1440p Gaming:
The 9070 XT averages 6% slower than the 5070 Ti.
It shows a 20% increase over the 7900 GRE, falling short of AMD's claimed 35% improvement.
It provides marginal gains over the 7900 XT and is significantly slower than the 7900 XTX.
4K Gaming:
The 9070 XT performs closer to the 5070 Ti, trailing by only 1%.
It offers a noticeable improvement over the 7900 XT.
Ray Tracing:
RDNA 4 shows significant ray tracing improvement compared to RDNA 3.
However, the 9070 XT still lags behind the 5070 Ti in ray-traced workloads.
Significant performance uplift over the 7900xt and 7900xtx.
Power Consumption:
The 9070 XT consumes similar power to the 7900 XT.
It generally uses more power than the 5070 Ti for comparable performance.
Pricing and Value:
MSRP vs. Real-World Pricing:
The $600 MSRP is a key selling point, but its long-term viability is questionable.
Retailers may push prices higher, potentially negating the value proposition.
AMD is utilizing rebates to keep the cost down.
Cost-Per-Frame:
At $600, the 9070 XT offers strong value compared to the 5070 Ti, especially if the latter remains above MSRP.
The reviewer notes that AMD often need a 20%+ value advantage to be strongly recommended, this review believes that this number can be lowered to 15% with the increase in ray tracing performance, and the improved FSR4.
Competition:
The 9070 XT's pricing is closer to the RTX 5070, but the reviewer deems the 5070 poor value.
Key Takeaways:
The 9070 XT delivers solid performance, particularly at 4K, and shows improved ray tracing capabilities.
Its value proposition hinges on the stability of the $600 price point.
AMD performance claim where overstated when compared to independant testing.
FSR4 has greatly improved.
The review emphasis that real world pricing, and availablity will be the deciding factor when choosing between the 5070 ti and the 9070 xt.
In essence, the 9070 XT is a competitive card, but its success depends on AMD's ability to maintain its intended pricing and availability.
