Breathe out, untense your muscles, and relax, because after years of being lost in the wilderness AMD has finally come up with a decent GPU for an amazing price. I don’t have to reach for obscure use cases to suggest scenarios where the new AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is actually worth buying, because this time AMD has genuinely come up with the goods, with a graphics card that largely beats Nvidia at its own game.
It might not have an equivalent of Nvidia’s latest multi frame gen tech at its disposal, but this new GPU sees AMD catching up with Nvidia in several key areas. For a start, ray tracing is no longer an issue, with the Radeon RX 9070 XT even out-performing the RTX 5070 in a number of our ray-traced benchmarks, and it can do path tracing too. Secondly, AMD’s new FSR 4 tech is an absolute game changer when it comes to upscaling, with a massive improvement in image quality over FSR 3.
I’ve tested the Radeon RX 9070 XT in several games, testing frame gen, upscaling, ray tracing and standard rasterization, and it all adds up to a firm new entry on our guide to the best graphics card. It’s not all perfect, as I’ll explain over this review of the ASRock Taichi OC version of this card, but this is AMD’s strongest GPU for over a decade by far.
