Despite AMD He already said a few months ago that he was going to stop competing with Nvidia in the high -end category of graphics cards, that does not mean that the Team Red He has stopped working on them, and we have been talking about two new budding models for a few weeks: Radeon Rx 9070 and 9070 xt. And they must be quite close, because we finally have the first performance filtration of the upper model, which we have to tell us that it has surprised us.
We are at that cursed point where, unfortunately, we cannot talk about reliable data, but we can only limit ourselves to speculation, rumors and leaks. Undoubtedly, leaks are usually more reliable than rumors and above all than speculation, but still, as always, we must warn you that you have to take all this information with tweezers.
AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, only 10% below RTX 5080?
Precisely, this is what indicates the new performance filtration. With the new GeForce RTX 5080 of NVIDIA already announced (you can see our review here), AMD has already been able to establish its performance objectives for its new generation graphics cards, with RDNA 4. and, for what it seems, what it seems, the RX 9070 XT that will be the older sister is not too far from this RTX 5080, a graph that is included in the high range and that, remember, its price part of the 1,199 euros.
Filtration comes from the acquaintance Leaker Moore’s Law Is Dead, so we can believe with quite sure this data if we look back to its previous leaks. In its analysis of the RTX 5080, it has superimposed the performance objectives of the new RADEON RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT in games at 4K resolution, and in the image above you can see what “we can expect» of the new graphics of the graphics of the Lisa his …
We are talking about the RX 9070 XT would have a yield in games at 4K resolution only 10% lower than the NVIDIA RTX 5080, and in fact it would be above the RTX 4080 Super, which is not saying little because it is an excellent graphics For games. The truth is that these data surprise us … well, we already many hardware analysts because we all expected that RX 9070 XT of AMD competes with the RTX 5070 or maybe with its TI variant, not with the RTX 5080 that is quite superior .
What we know about the new AMD flagship graphics card is that it will have a new generation RDNA 4 architecture, and that it will have 16 GB of graphic memory, although it is surely GDDR6X and not GDDR7. Of course, we must bear in mind that, and now we are talking about estimates and assumptions, it is assumed that AMD can these graphs on store shelves at a price of $ 649 … about 750 euros In the end with taxes and others, which would mean a tremendous blow on the table by AMD, since if it sells this graph for almost € 500 less than its Nvidia counterpart and is only 10% lower …
But well, as always, we’ll see. This is only leaks, rumors and speculation. Take these data with pizas and we’ll see what happens at the end.
