AMD has finally done it. For years it’s tried to undercut NVIDIA with slightly cheaper, but less capable, video cards like the Radeon 6700 XT and 7900 XT. And sure, it’s still following that same strategy with the new Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT. This time around, though, AMD has produced far more capable hardware, especially when it comes to 4K and ray tracing performance. And there’s hope that it could finally catch up to NVIDIA’s DLSS AI upscaling with its new FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR4) technology.
These aren’t perfect video cards, to be clear. But for $549 and $599, the Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT are far more compelling than AMD’s previous lineup. That’s particularly true since the 9070 XT is $150 less than NVIDIA’s RTX 5070 Ti, and in our testing it’s sometimes faster than that card.
AMD still has to prove that it can catch up to NVIDIA’s DLSS, which has had several years to steadily improve its AI upscaling capabilities. In particular, AMD needs to match the performance of NVIDIA’s multi-frame generation in DLSS 4, which has led to some surprisingly high fps figures while testing the RTX 50-series GPUs. AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames technology is a start, but it’s not nearly enough at this point.
AMD
AMD’s Radeon 9070 is a solid midrange GPU with excellent support for 1440p gaming and a bit of 4K. It has better ray tracing support than before, and it finally has AI upscaling to compete with NVIDIA’s DLSS.
- Affordable price
- Excellent 1440p performance
- FSR 3 and 4 are a big help
- Better ray tracing
- Quiet and cool performance
- FSR 4 needs more support
- Complex upscaling configuration
- Needs better multi-frame gen

AMD’s Radeon 9070 XT is a solid midrange GPU with excellent support for 1440p gaming and a bit of 4K. It has better ray tracing support than before, it’s faster than the plain Radeon 9070 and it finally has AI upscaling to compete with NVIDIA’s DLSS.
- Affordable
- Excellent 1440p performance
- FSR 3 and 4 are a big help
- Occasionally faster than the 5070 Ti
- Better ray tracing

Hardware
The Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT are AMD’s first RDNA 4 GPUs, a new platform sporting more powerful and efficient compute units, third-generation ray tracing accelerators and second-generation AI accelerators. There isn’t a huge technical difference between the two cards: The RX 9070 features 56 compute units, 56 ray accelerators and 112 AI accelerators, whereas the 9070 XT has eight more compute accelerators and 16 additional AI processors. The XT model is clocked slightly higher, as you’d expect, and it also draws more power (304W vs 220W). Notably, both cards also ship with 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM, whereas NVIDIA skimped a bit and only put 12GB of RAM in the $549 RTX 5070.
As I was comparing our XFX-built review units, though, it was practically impossible to tell the RX 9070 and 9070 XT apart without reading the fine print on their labels. This is fairly typical for AMD cards with XT variants, and it makes sense since they’re technically so similar. The XFX Swift GPUs I tested came in an elegant frost white case, with three large fans and surprisingly massive heatsinks. They’re both 3.5-slot cards, so they also take up more room than the RTX 5090, which is a dense two-slot beast.
Thanks to AMD’s efficient RDNA design, you also don’t need to rely on complex power dongles to drive these cards. They both take two PSU connections directly, and XFX recommends 800-watt power supplies at a minimum. That’s significantly higher than AMD’s minimum 650W spec though, so it could be that XFX is just trying to play it safe with its massive cooling setup. (If you’re planning to overclock these cards, though, you’ll likely want more than a mere 650W PSU.)
In use: A big step up for AMD
I knew AMD was onto something special when I learned the Radeon RX 9070 averaged 60 fps in Cyberpunk 2077 in 4K Ray Tracing Overdrive mode. Sure, it needed FSR 3 upscaling to get there, but it was still better than the 50 fps I saw on the Radeon 7900XT a few years ago. The game occasionally dipped below 60 fps, but it was still very playable. 1440p was much smoother overall, averaging 117 fps. The Radeon 9070 XT, meanwhile, averaged 68 fps in 4K and 130 fps in 1440p.
Sure, these numbers are far behind the raw figures from NVIDIA’s RTX 5070, which used the magic of multi-frame generation to deliver 115 fps in 4K with ray tracing and maxed out graphics. That card also hit 205 fps in 1440p. But as impressed as I was by the 5070, most of those frames were just meant to deliver the illusion of smoothness. During actual gameplay, I had a hard time seeing much slowdown with either Radeon card in 4K, and the difference between the NVIDIA card was practically erased in 1440p. Remember, fps figures aren’t the entire story, even though NVIDIA wants you to believe otherwise.
I kept that idea in mind as I tested FSR 4, which surprised me when it averaged around 20 fps less than FSR 3 in Call of Duty: Warzone on both GPUs. The Radeon 9070 XT reached 250 fps in 4K with FSR 3, cranked up graphics and frame generation, whereas it hit 229 fps in FSR 4. AMD tells me that’s no error, it’s to be expected since FSR 4’s AI upscaling is more focused on delivering higher quality graphics rather than a pure frame boost. I couldn’t really see a huge difference while dodging bullets in CoD, but I did notice that finer textures like chain-link fences looked a bit clearer in FSR 4. (I also saw a few random glitched textures, something that was common in DLSS upscaled games early on. They weren’t a major problem, but AMD clearly has to refine its upscaling model further.)
At the moment, enabling FSR 4 is a bit counter-intuitive as well. You have to turn it on in AMD’s driver software, and then flip on FSR 3.1 in a compatible game. Warzone also required a reboot to fully enable the feature, but the game didn’t prompt me to do so. And if you want frame generation, that’s another option that has to be toggled on outside of the game. Hopefully this process will be smoothed out over time, along with wider availability for FSR 4. In addition to Black Ops 6, it’s supported in the newly launched FragPunk, Civilization 7, Marvel Rivals and a handful of PlayStation 5 ports like the Spider-Man games. But it’s nowhere to be found in Avowed or Dragon Age: The Veilguard, where you’ll be stuck with FSR 3.
For games that don’t work with FSR at all, AMD’s Adrenaline software also has a “HYPR-RX” mode that enables features like Radeon Super Resolution upscaling (a separate driver-level technology) and AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames generation. Altogether, they led to me seeing 200 fps in Forza Horizon 5 using the RX 9070 XT in 4K with maxed out graphics settings, up from 85 fps natively. But again, those are just fps figures – AMD points out Radeon Super Resolution may not look as clear as FSR alternatives. (I didn’t notice any weirdness in Forza, but I may have been distracted by the beautiful racing vistas in Mexico.)

When it comes to benchmarks, the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT hold their own against NVIDIA’s 5070 and 5070 Ti in most of 3DMark’s tests. In the Steel Nomad benchmark, the 9070 scored 1,100 points higher than the 5070, and the 9070 XT beat out the more expensive 5070 Ti by almost 3,000 points in Timespy Extreme. I was also surprised to see the RX 9070 scoring almost 2,000 points higher than the RTX 5070 in the Port Royal ray tracing benchmark. Previously, ray tracing of any kind was AMD’s Achilles heel.
Both of our XFX cards also stayed surprisingly cool during benchmarks and extended gaming sessions. They never went beyond 65C under load, and they typically idled below 40C. And since they never got very hot, I could barely hear their fans spinning up.
Should you buy the Radeon RX 9070 or RX 9070 XT?
On paper, both of AMD’s new GPUs are compelling alternatives to NVIDIA’s midrange cards for 1440p gamers who occasionally dabble in 4K. The RX 9070 XT is particularly interesting, since it’s noticeably faster and still comes in $150 less than the RTX 5070 Ti. But we’re also dealing with a chaotic time in the PC gaming world, where GPU stock can disappear quickly and prices can rocket up quickly.
If you can nab either Radeon card at their listed prices, they’ll be good deals. But it’s not worth overpaying by too much for now. It also remains to be seen how the Trump administration’s combative tariffs will affect pricing for PC hardware and electronics. Prices could easily jump by 20 percent or more to cover those costs.
While NVIDIA’s DLSS 4 technology is more mature and leads to higher interpolated frame rates, there’s also a good argument for going with AMD’s cards since they have 16GB of VRAM. They’ll be better suited to handling larger textures in games down the line, and there’s also the potential for FSR 4 to improve as well.
Wrap-up
It’s clear now why AMD was focused on upgrading its mid-range Radeon cards first. There’s not much point competing with NVIDIA at the extreme high end, like it did with Radeon RX 7900 XT and XTX. It makes more sense to focus on cards people can actually buy. The Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT also solve many of the problems I’ve had with AMD’s GPUs in the past. They can go toe-to-toe with NVIDIA’s cards, they have better ray tracing support and finally, they have AI upscaling. It remains to be seen if AMD will actually build on the promise of those features, but these cards are a hopeful start.
