A good time to upgrade.
AMD’s new Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards were released today and it looks like they are selling out quickly. Don’t fret, however, because you can still get these GPUs equipped in a prebuilt gaming PC for a very reasonable price. The Radeon RX 9070 series GPUs are the new mid-range champions of this generation. Both cards offer phenomenal performance while undercutting their Nvidia competition in price

We reviewed both AMD graphics cardsWe rated the AMD Radeon RX 9070 an 8/10. It costs the same as the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 but it performs better in the majority of games we tested and also includes more VRAM (16GB vs 12GB), which should supposedly make it more futureproof. From our tests, it draws about the same amount of power as the RTX 5070.
We rated the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT a “perfect” 10/10. Even though it costs $150 less than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, the 9070 XT beats it out in several of the games we tested. In a few benchmarks, the results aren’t even close. The 9070 XT also has 16GB of VRAM, the same as the 9070 and 5070 Ti. On the flip side, it does draw more power and get hotter on average compared to the RTX 5070 Ti.
