- Best for Faster than RTX 5070 in rasterization at 1440p (8-13%); 16GB VRAM aids 4K and future-proofing.
- Skip if MSRP too close to the faster RX 9070 XT (~$50 gap) is a dealbreaker.
Is the AMD Radeon RX 9070 a good buy?

What reviewers say about the AMD Radeon RX 9070
Across three lab-testing outlets, the RX 9070 is a standout 1440p gaming card that edges the RTX 5070 by roughly 8-13% in rasterization with 16GB VRAM. All three flag its awkward pricing sitting only ~$50 below the faster 9070 XT. TechPowerUp tested an ASRock partner card; no reference model exists.

Where reviewers disagree TechRadar found the RX 9070 essentially tied with the RTX 5070 at 1440p (114 vs 115 FPS) and criticized its higher power draw (284W vs 258W), whereas PCWorld and TechPowerUp measured the 9070 as clearly faster (8-13%); TechPowerUp specifically praised the card's energy efficiency and low power limit.
The sources (3)
Average FPS at 1440p: 114 FPS (vs RTX 5070's 115 FPS) · 3DMark Steel Nomad (rasterization) vs RTX 5070: 13% faster · Maximum power draw under load: 284 W · 3DMark Speed Way (ray tracing) vs RTX 5070: within 95% of RTX 5070
at 1440p, the RX 9070 goes blow for blow with Nvidia's midrange card so that the overall average FPS at 1440p is 114 against Nvidia's 115 FPS average
the RX 9070's creative performance isn't able to keep up with Nvidia's competing RTX 5070, especially in 3D modeling workloads like Blender
one thing in the Nvidia RTX 5070's favor is that it is able to tie things up with the RX 9070 at about 26 fewer watts under load
Average performance vs RTX 5070 at 1440p (full suite): about 8 percent faster · Average performance vs RTX 5070 at 1440p (excluding Black Myth Wukong): 11 percent faster
the $549 Radeon RX 9070 is flat-out faster than the $549 RTX 5070 when you average out the combined results from all games in our suite. All told, the Radeon 9070 runs about 8 percent faster than the RTX 5070 at 1440p
The Radeon 9070 series performs neck-and-neck with the RTX 5070 in games with moderate to heavy levels of ray tracing
Once games start layering on multiple ray tracing effects and more strenuous RT features, such as path tracing, AMD's GPUs fall behind Nvidia's
we suffered some driver crashes on all tested 9070 GPUs
1440p rasterization uplift vs RX 7900 GRE: 18% · 4K performance uplift vs RX 7900 GRE: 33% · Overall performance vs RTX 5070: 8% higher · Temperature under full load: 60 C · Noise under full load: 22.5 dBA
At 1440p, with pure rasterization, without ray tracing or upscaling, we measured an 18% performance uplift over the RX 7900 GRE
The RX 9070 non-XT is a fantastic card for 1440p gaming that has enough horsepower to explore gaming 4K, possibly with upscaling or slightly lowered settings
AMD has set an MSRP of $550 for the Radeon RX 9070 non-XT, which is very close to the $600 RX 9070 XT. To me this makes little sense, and it seems AMD is focusing on the upsell to the XT model
