The Radeon RX 9070 XT Received a 10/10 at IGN
We rated the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT a "perfect" 10/10. This GPU is comparable in peformance to the pricier Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. In fact, the 9070 XT beat it out in several of the games we tested. To be fair, the RTX 5070 Ti does have better upscaling (DLSS) and ray tracing, but only in games that support them. The 9070 XT also approaches the performance of the $1,000 RX 7900 XTX. It has 16GB of VRAM, which is great for gaming at higher resolutions. With this upgrade you should be able to run most games at 4K resolution while maintaining a minimum 60fps frame rate.
Hardware Unboxed Benched the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Graphics Card During the Battlefield 6 Open Beta
For those of you looking to upgrade your rig for Battlefield 6, which comes out Friday, Hardware Unboxed tested out a few different Radeon RX 9070 XT configurations in-game. At 4K and with the maximum "Ultra" preset, the RX 9070 XT rig maintained an average of 70-85fps with a 1% low of 67fps. This was tested with both lower-end AMD Ryzen 5 and higher-end AMD Ryzen 7 X3D processors and the performance difference was minimal, especially at higher resolutions (1440p and 4K) where games are typically less CPU limited. What's also impressive is that the GeForce RTX 5080 equipped PC only averaged about 8%-12% better, even though that GPU would cost you $1,000 or more.
