AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Tested in Cyberpunk 2077 and Black Myth: Wukong
The recently unveiled AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT has been the epicenter of a plethora of leaks in the past few weeks. We now have not only a rough idea of what kind of synthetic performance the highest-end RDNA 4 GPU is about to bring to the table, but also how much the card is expected to cost. Now, yet...
...the RX 9070 XT performs decently well, trading blows with the RTX 4070 Ti Super. In NVIDIA's favorite Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K with ray tracing, the RX 9070 XT managed 26 FPS, neck and neck with the RTX 4070 Ti, whereas the RTX 4080 Super was well ahead with 32 FPS.
In 1080p, the RX 9070 XT managed 85 FPS, whereas the RTX 4070 Ti edged past with 2 more frames. The RTX 4080 Super, unsurprisingly, was well ahead once again with 101 FPS. The RX 9070 XT appears far from promising in rasterization performance, as revealed by Black Myth: Wukong. At 4K, the RX 9070 XT managed around 30 FPS, defeating the 4070 Ti Super which managed 28. And at 1080p, the RX 9070 XT raked in 97 FPS, coming shockingly close to the 4080 Super, which managed 99 FPS.
Just give us the damn price, ffs!
Sources I've found say ~600$. And I don't get it. I just checked, 7900xtx costs 1.6k$ rn. If 9070 really is comparable to RX 4080, then they are going to sell it for +/- the current price of 7800XT?
AMD is so fucked this gen. Intel and Apple are going to tear into their share from the bottom unless they price this shit ultra aggressive.
I think they will be fine in the iGPU space.
