AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Review: Best Bang for Buck at 4K

AMD sent Gizmodo the XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT for review.

It's a sleek-looking, three -fan card whose aesthetic is aided by an angled edge that made it appear like a mini skyscraper inside my test PC.

It may not be as flashy as a new Nvidia RTX 5080 Founders Edition, but you shouldn’t need to pay over $1,000 to play games at 4K.

For $ 600 , thereâs simply no comparison in performance between other GPUs for playing games at 4K.

AMD 's $ 600 card is certainly better than the $ 550 AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE from 2023 .

It squeaks out playable framerates at or above the $750 Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti.

AMD ’s latest release not only needs to compete with Nvidia on specs and rendering performance.

AMD has said it has tested a multi-frame gen model but that it doesnât find it practical and that players donât see a need for it.

Currently there are just over 30 games that support FSR 4 .

AMD ’s latest graphics card costs $ 50 more than the RTX 5070 and the RX 9070 at its base price, effectively making both those cards superfluous in one fell swoop.
