AMD of Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT shoot for the NVIDIA throne of the middle class
AMD’s decision to start with Average Rdna 4 GPU range Now it seems predictable. NVIDIA High Class RTX 5090 And 5080 are now sold far beyond their absurdly high prices, if you can find ones at all. And while RTX 5070 of Impressed us, it already sells for nearly $ 5080 from $ 1,000. Now the Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT, which should arrive on March 6, have the chance to enter and provide serious competition.
Based on the early AMD briefings that include some impressive indicators (still unverified by us), the RDNA 4 graphics processors look insurmountable 4K and 1,440p for pretentious gamers who are not ready to release four video card figures. We are still waiting for prices to be announced during the Livestream event this morning, but expect the Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT to be aligned with the RTX 5070 ($ 549 MSRP) and 5070 Ti ($ 749 MSRP). According to Retail leaksThey can start at $ 649 and $ 749 respectively.
Along with the usual RAW performance superstructures, the main point for selling these new cards is the Fidelity FX Super Resolution 4 (FSR4) of AMD. Unlike previous iterations, this time it is powered by machine learning similar to NVIDIA DLSS. According to AMD, this allows better image quality as it increases from less separation capabilities, as well as low latency and framework generation.
So what does this mean in action? AMD claims that 9070 XT can work Space Marine 2 At an average of 53 frames per second in 4K, but with the FSR 4 works, which jumps to 182 frames per second. This is similar to the performance jump we have seen in the NVIDIA RTX 50-Series graphic processors, which can generate multiple frames. FSR 4 is supported on more than 30 titles at the moment, but for other games like Star citizen and Forza Horizon 5AMD claims its HYPR-RX driver level, can also improve performance by up to 3x.
While the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT come with 16GB VRAM (unlike 12GB, the RTX 5070 is glued), the last card will probably make a better drip drip 4K 240Hz screens. Compute Units 9070 XT Sports 64 RDNA 4, 64 Hardware Ray Tracking and 128 Hardware AI Accelerators, while 9070 includes 56 computing units and RT accelerators, as well as 112 AI units. 9070 XT can also attract significantly more power – 304 watts instead of 220W – and has more than 500MHz clock amplifier. The standard 9070 will probably be more suitable for players who play in 1,440p most of the time, but which can occasionally be stuck in 4K.
It is curious that most of AMD indicators compare the new cards with $ 549 RX 7900 GRESlightly insufficient card originally intended for China. But the company made a handful of comparisons with other cards: for one, it claims that the RX 9070 XT is 51 percent faster than the Radeon 6900 XT on average in 30 games while playing in 4K with maximum graphic settings. It is also reported with 26 percent faster than the RTX 3090 in the same 30 games. As for the RX 9070, AMD says it is 38 percent in 4K/max settings than the RX 6800 XT and 26 percent faster than the RTX 3080. Certainly AMD could compare these cards to the RTX 40 composition and more radeons, but then these profits would not be high.
Beyond the game, AMD says its new RDNA 4 media engine will be able to encode H.264 with better image quality and support up to 8K/80Fps encoding and decoding. As for AI, 9070 XT is 34 percent faster than the RX 7900 GRE, while using the Davinci Resolve mask tracking tool and is 70 percent faster while using the ProCyon SD XL for generative AI.
If AMD manages to keep the Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT in stock and also maintain prices at a reasonable level, I will not be surprised if any NVIDIA Diehards jump on a ship.
