The much-anticipated AMD Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT GPUs are about to make their grand debut, and as expected, performance leaks are flooding in. Enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting these new graphics cards, and the latest sneak peek offers exciting details.
Recent leaks, including one from the user @GawroskiT on social media, reveal that the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT nearly matches the performance of the RX 7900 XTX. Although the test suggests using an AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, the PCI ID confirms it as an RDNA GPU, providing some tantalizing insights.
In terms of performance, the RX 9070 XT impressively scored 7,931 points in the 4K FurMark OpenGL benchmark. To put this into perspective, the RX 7900 XTX scores about 8,000 to 8,030 points, while the RX 7900 XT reaches roughly 5,973 points. This positions the RX 9070 XT as 33% quicker than the 7900 XT and over 65% faster than the RX 7800 XT, marking a significant performance leap.
What’s even more fascinating is the price speculation. The RX 7900 XT debuted at $899, but whispers suggest the RX 9070 XT might launch at a more wallet-friendly $650. This could represent a huge value proposition—assuming AMD navigates the supply chain effectively to provide ample stock at launch prices. It’s essential to remember these benchmarks likely utilized pre-launch drivers. Once AMD releases more mature drivers, performance could improve even further.
Additionally, the tests were done using an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU, expected to replace the Ryzen 9 7950X3D next month. This new processor will likely enhance the overall capabilities of the setup.
For tech aficionados keen on the freshest hardware and eager to maximize gaming and graphical performance, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT might just be the cutting-edge GPU the market has been waiting for. Stay tuned for its official launch.
