AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT Official Performance Metrics Leaked, +42% 4K Performance Over Radeon RX 7900 GRE
AMD's internal benchmarks of its upcoming RDNA 4-based RX 9070 series graphics cards have been leaked, thanks to VideoCardz. The flagship RX 9070 XT delivers up to 42% better performance than the Radeon RX 7900 GRE at 4K resolution across a test suite of over 30 games, with the standard RX 9070 showing a 21% improvement in the same scenario. The performance data, encompassing raster and ray-traced titles at ultra settings, positions the RX 9070 series as a direct competitor to NVIDIA's RTX 4080 and RTX 5070 Ti. Notably, AMD's testing methodology focused on native rendering and ray tracing capabilities rather than upscaling technologies like FSR. The RX 9070 XT demonstrated large gains at 4K resolution, achieving a 51% performance uplift compared to the two-generations older RX 6900 XT. Meanwhile, the base RX 9070 model showed a 38% improvement over the RX 6800 XT at 4K with maximum settings enabled.
While AMD confirms its new cards are designed to compete with NVIDIA's RTX 50 series, specific comparative benchmarks against the RTX 5070 Ti were absent from the presentation. AMD acknowledges it has yet to acquire the competitor's hardware for testing. The company is expected to provide a comprehensive performance overview, potentially including additional GPU comparisons, during its official announcement on February 28. Both RX 9070 series cards will feature 16 GB of VRAM, matching the memory configuration of the RX 7900 GRE used as a primary comparison point. By the official launch date, AMD will have time to push final driver tweaks for optimal performance. Nonetheless, more information will surface as we near the official release date.

I'm not buying such bullshit.
The only exception is AMD's 7900 GRE, except that they never tried to sell it as a refresh, and were clear about it being a cut-down chip at a discount right from the start.
The problem, as I see it, is not that you can't set aside $500-700. It's that, once you have that kind of money, there are far better or more useful things to spend them on. E.g. pre-pandemic, $700 could pay for my vacation.

it's not great but in a couple of weeks things will quiet down and people can buy them for the MSRP+taxes in europe
There is no need to make things worst than they already are
The price part.
Or was it sarcasm? I hope it was sarcasm.
Everyone knows 5070=4090, lol, how could 5070Ti be just 30% faster than 4070Ti?
I'm sure there's one of those gamer memes to be applied here, in the spirit of Roy Batty.
Also 37% is from AMD test, it goes down when testing TPU games, so around 30% is more real.
Price 649-699
+Vat/Aib/street price = +800 some models +900u think u lost the money if u buy GPU?
U can sell it, u cant get moneys back u spend in vacation.
Also u have that GPU next lets say 2y
My 4090 cost me like 400$ because i sold it.
See, i didint lost those moneys i invest in 4090 but i can enjoys High/max settings in 4K while others who spend 400$ in GPU cant.
In my country this will translate into ~570€. Add another 50-150€ for AIB premium + VAT, we are already at 770-900€.
Considering that XTXs were priced here at 900-1000€ just a couple of months ago… well, you get it…
5070Ti is starting from 1250€ up to 1400€ and of course still scarce.
To be honest I expect them to show up here at ~1000€ if not more, at least at first. Price hikes from distributors to catch the impatience buyers.
So you think that amd will do the same as nvidia and will spit in face to it's users ? By artificially producing small amount of gpus and giving all to AI only.
U pay Vat+Aib so street price is different.
So models like 9070XT cost +800 and even 900, i have allredy seen those in storage
U can ofc buy cheapest model and save some cash but its still cost u +700 depending again VAT/street price/Aib
It just the way it is when you add AIB premium + VAT on MSRP.
7900XTs ($900 MSRP) were priced at 1000+€ here 2 years ago and slowly dropped to 700+€ today.
Do you really expect to find a 9070XT below ~750€ at least for the first weeks, if AMD sets the MSRP at $600?
It would be nice if we see 750-800€ at launch IMO at that MSRP.
They’ll never have a benchmark tool if they haven’t bothered to release one in 20+ years.
