AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Rumored to Rival NVIDIA’s Mid-Range GPUs

AMD's upcoming RDNA 4-based GPUs are expected to deliver competitive performance and value against NVIDIA's RTX 50-series, with pricing and benchmarks still speculative.

AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT, based on RDNA 4 architecture, is expected to compete with NVIDIA's RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 4080 Super in rasterization and ray tracing performance, according to leaked benchmarks.
Speculation suggests the RX 9070 XT will feature 16GB GDDR6 memory, 4096 Stream Processors, and clock speeds exceeding 3.0 GHz on custom models, with a power requirement of approximately 260W.
Pricing leaks indicate the RX 9070 XT reference model may launch under $500, with custom AIB models ranging from $530 to $590, aiming to undercut NVIDIA's RTX 5070 Ti priced at $749.
AMD executives have refuted earlier performance rumors, claiming the RX 9070 XT will outperform expectations, with improved raster and ray tracing capabilities.
Pre-orders for the RX 9070 series are expected to open on January 23, 2025, though official details on pricing, specifications, and performance are yet to be confirmed.
