Asus Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Prime 16GB (PRIME-RX9070XT-O16G)

Chip Navi 48 XTX with separate tensor and RT cores

The base version of the Radeon RX 9070 XT without overclocking is equipped with the Navi 48 XTX chip, which includes 4096 stream processors, 128 tensor cores, and 64 RT accelerators. The GPU operating frequency is 2970 MHz, GDDR6 memory capacity is 16 GB with a 256-bit bus, and there is 64 MB of Infinity Cache. The new tensor cores will interest AI specialists: in applications like Stable Diffusion, nearly double performance gains are promised compared to the previous Radeon RX 7800 XT model. Nevertheless, NVIDIA still leads in this segment, as evidenced by their AI solutions and data center revenues, which exceed gaming revenues by almost seven times.

Direct competitor for GeForce RTX 4070 and RTX 5070

AMD, it seems, has thoroughly studied the market and decided to focus efforts on the mid-price segment. The Radeon RX 9070 XT does not claim the flagship title and is not aimed at competing with the RTX 4090 or 5090. This model represents a balanced solution for 2K gaming and can handle 4K games with some compromises. The card is aimed at displacing high-priced GeForce models at the RTX 3070/4070/5070 level. In terms of performance, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is comparable to the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, although it slightly lags behind the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, AMD's 2022 flagship model.

Nothing extra

The Radeon RX 9070 XT in the ASUS Prime version is a classic gaming graphics card that combines decent specifications, affordable cost, and a strict minimalist design without unnecessary lighting and decorative details. The device is equipped with a massive heatsink with three axial fans, occupies 2.5 slots at a length of 312 mm, consumes about 300 W of power, and a 750 W power supply is recommended for its stable operation. The graphics card also features a switch for quiet and performance modes.
