Performance metrics and benchmark numbers allegedly from the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT have started appearing online. The original Chiphell post, which has since been removed at the time of this publication, was done by a user with the handle nApoleon.
The reviewer essentially shared the benchmark performance of the 9070 XT on two games, Black Myth Wukong and Cyberpunk 2077. Additionally, the reviewer had tested the card against the two other cards that are technically within its power segment: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super and RTX 4070 Ti Super. Further, he ran them in the three typical resolutions, FHD, 1440p, and 4K.
As you can see from their post, the 9070 XT is seemingly on par with the RTX 4070 Ti Super, producing nearly identical average framerates, and seems to trail behind the RTX 4080 Super by eight to 10 fps, at most.
It is unclear if the average framerate generated by the 9070 XT is with some form of upscaling – presumably FSR4 – and ray tracing active for both teams or if these numbers are, in fact, just running on pure rasterisation. At this point, not even AMD has released any official numbers for its RDNA4-powered GPU lineup. In fact, it barely made a peep about it during its CES 2025 product announcement.
Nevertheless, even if we were take the numbers with the usual pinch of salt, these numbers look promising and could help AMD achieve its goal of reclaiming market share in the mid-range gaming market.
