AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series Technical Deep Dive

[Naito]

Will buy to support. Keen to support Team Red

The 9070XT is the same as the 5070Ti in raster and the 4070Ti Super in Ray tracing, all for $600 instead of $750, well done AMD.

the 5070SuperDOA, if I were Jensen I would call it that

 

[MrDweezil]

They've done it twice now (7800 vs 7700) but I don't understand why they're doing these $50 price gaps. It's not a meaningful difference and the nobody is going to buy the lower card at that price. Just drop it by another $50. You're going to have to within a month anyway, so why let everyone's review say that it's a bad value first?

 

[wNotyarD]

Thing should be 60% faster then a 6700XT, which i'm sitting on now still.

If it matches AMD's claims and it is 51% faster than the 6900XT, it should border 70% faster than your 6700XT. That upgrade would be bonkers.

 

[Dragokar]

I prefer the 9070 but the pricing is not good, same procedure as we saw on the 7900XT......and yeah brand loyalty can be stupid......that's why my wife gets a full Intel PC unless every other PC in this house.

Its seems to be a lovely card, but they did mention a 340 watts version that will be more on par with the 5070 TI. I'm definitely looking for those!

 

[Naito]

Were those 5070 Ti comparisons full ROPs or not full ROPs...

 

[N3utro]

It's nowhere near what MFG brings to the table, and image quality has yet to be shown matching DLSS 4. They leave the higher segment to focus on this, and they fail to deliver. What a disappointment.

Sadly endnote was missing in the AMD presentation.

I know people are excited and all that, but now I'm a bit worried about where the pricing of the xx60 series and if we'll see the revival of the xx50 series. I'm just a bit saddened if this is the death of under-$200, or frankly under-$300, gpus that aren't Intel or the bottom of the barrel from the other two.

 

[Hellfire]

Hmmm I am unsure about this. I want to be hyped for it but it just didn't WOW me! But then again personally I've always been ok paying a premium for a flagship product which the 9070xt isnt.

I could see the 9060 being 299 (most possibly 349 though), however that would leave too large a gap to slot the 9060XT into.

 

[Markosz]

Oh god, more bloat in the driver app

Yep, it just feels like the gap between the two would be way too massive. I remember reading a few tech outlets talking about how GPUs are becoming luxury items and this only seems to be cementing it.

Also, marginally related, apparently it's gonna be PCIE 5.0 x16 so now I'm curious how well it'll run on older systems.

 

[Hellfire]

Another thought for me is I may have to jump to Nvidia this time round as I doubt companies will be bothering designing waterblocks for these cards.

 

[rv8000]

Let’s see where actual prices land, if they’re 5070ti level of price nonsense not gonna be much point.

$549 is a mistake for the 9070, more upselling shenanigans, disappointing.

 

[BigMack70]

I'll eat my shorts if these cards show up anywhere near the 5070 Ti in the steam hardware survey.

 

[Darthgrey]

Official compare with a factory downclocked 7900 GRE, nice, with the card, which is without overcklock barely above 7800XT

9070 non-XT is DOA, only $50 difference in price makes it a very strange buy (get ready for $500-529 discount soon after launch). 9070XT looks not bad at all, hope to see tests against normal 7900, which is XT.

If AMD do not fail the drivers or software stack and the real performance is what they call it today, this would be the first successful launch for them.
The XT price is good for today market but the nonXT one is crazy.

I'm not in the market for a new GPU and only expect full reviews for fun this time.

 

[Prime2515102]

I was hoping for $450/$500 for an incredible bang for the buck like the HD series was back in the day, but not bad if the leaked performance is accurate.

This wasn't given to media, so its not published by media. The idea of sharing overclocked 9070 XT OC performance vs a stock 5070 Ti, a GPU with a pretty large OC headroom in modern standards is a bit... well...

 

[Krit]

$50 for 42% perf increase gen2gen. The last time Nvidia did that it came with $500 price creep.

RX 9070 XT is way closer to RX 7800 XT technically speaking. So it's actually +100$ and around +51% performance increase Gen 2 Gen. RTX 5070 Ti piece of shit is only 15-17% faster on average than RTX 4070 Ti Super.

For msrp RX 9070 XT is a brilliant deal! Even better deal than RX 7800 XT for its msrp when its was launched at 499$.....

 

[Chaitanya]

I'm interested how will it compare to the RTX 5000 series. BTW when do the reviews drop?

Sales are supposed to start 6th March so safe to assume a day before that.

 

[Frick]

Ah, pricing in Europe, 636 EU for the non XT version and 696 EU for XT version. USD will be lower likely.

€720 for the XT, €661 for the nonXT are the target prices here. If the cards are readily avaliable at those prices they will fly of the shelves, or even if you can order them and get a date at least! The 5070ti (the ones avaliable) are €1000+, with some models listed at €940 (not avaliable, no shipping date).

 

[Quicks]

If only they announced performance and pricing 2-3 weeks ago I might have waited before buying a 5070TI.
