The Best RX 9070 XT & 9070 - 9 Card Review - ASUS, Sapphire, XFX, PowerColor, ASRock

Video Description

The new RDNA 4 graphics architecture is purpose built for the performance segment, so AMD could pack the most performance at its target price points. The company claims to have achieved significant gains in performance over RDNA 3 in performance per compute unit. The company also posted its biggest generational gains in ray tracing performance, thanks to updated to the RT accelerator; as well as gains in performance of its AI accelerators. In fact, the AI acceleration performance enabled AMD to innovate FSR 4, the biggest upgrade to the company's gaming performance enhancement suite, giving it AI ML-based upscalers and frame generation that offers significant improvements in image quality at every performance preset. The Radeon RX 9070 is carved out of the Navi 48 silicon by enabling 56 out of 64 compute units present on the silicon, which works out to 3,584 stream processors, 112 AI accelerators, and 56 RT accelerators. The chip also gets 224 TMUs, and the chip's full complement of 128 ROPs, as well as, all 64 MB of Infinity Cache. Perhaps the most striking design choice by AMD is not doing what it did to the RX 7700 XT, and instead giving the RX 9070 the exact same memory configuration as the RX 9070 XT. That's right, you get 16 GB of memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface. What is disappointing, though, is that this is still older generation 20 Gbps GDDR6, which yields 640 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Our recent RTX 5070 testing has shown that memory size trumps bandwidth in ray tracing workloads, and AMD has given the RX 9070 a larger on-die cache than the 48 MB NVIDIA gave the RTX 5070, so things could get interesting.
