AMD solution to start with RDNA average range 4 graphic processors Now it seems preliminary. High -quality NVIDIA RTX 5090 And 5080 are already sold far beyond the limits of their ridiculously high prices, if you can find them in a warehouse in general. And for now RTX 5070 I was impressed by us, it is already sold at the price of a launch of 5080 for $ 1,000. Now the AMD Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT, which should arrive on March 6, have a chance to take upon themselves and conduct serious competition.
Based on the early briefings from AMD, which include some impressive criteria (still not tested by us), the RDNA 4 graphic processors are convincing 4K and 1440p for penetrating gamers who are not ready to drop four digits on the video card. We are still waiting for the details of the price will be announced during the event to watch this morning, but we expect that the Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT will be aligned with RTX 5070 (549 US dollars) and 5070 Ti ($ 749). In accordance with Early leaks of the retail sellerThey can start with $ 649 and 749, respectively.
In addition to ordinary unprocessed performance updates, the main sales point for these new cards is the AMD Fidelity FX Super Resolution 4 (FSR4) technology. Unlike previous iterations, this time it feeds on the basis of machine learning, similarly to DLS NVIDIA. According to AMD, this provides the best image quality when scale from lower resolutions, as well as with low delay and frame generation.
So what does this mean in action? AMD claims that 9070 xt can work Space Marine 2 On average, 53 frames per second at 4K, but with a fsr 4 run, which jumps up to 182 frames per second. This is similar to a jump in the performance that we saw on the graphic processors of the NVIDIA RTX of the 50th series, which can generate several frames. FSR 4 is supported by more than 30 names at the moment, but for other games, such as Star citizen And Forza Horizon 5AMD claims that its increase in the level of the HYPR-RX driver can also increase performance to 3x.
While the Radeon RX 9070, and 9070 XT are supplied with 16 GB VRAM (unlike 12 GB, stuck RTX 5070), the last card will probably make a higher driving drop of 4K 240 Hz. 9070 XT SPORTS 64 RDNA 4 Compute Units, 64 hardware beam accelerators and 128 hardware accelerators, while 9070 include 56 RT components and accelerators, as well as 112 AI units. 9070 XT can also attract significantly more power – 304 watts instead of 220 W – and has more than 500 MHz -lidema. The standard 9070, most likely, will be better suited for players who play in 1440p most of the time, but they can sometimes indulge in 4K.
It is curious that most AMD tests compare new cards with $ 549 RX 7900 GREA slightly insufficient map, originally designed for China. But the company made several comparisons with other cards: on the one hand, it claims that RX 9070 XT is 51 percent faster than Radeon 6900 XT on average in 30 games, playing 4K with maximum graphics settings. According to reports, this is also 26 percent faster than RTX 3090 in the same 30 games. As for the RX 9070, AMD says that in 4K/Max conditions it is 38 percent than the RX 6800 XT, and 26 percent faster than the RTX 3080. Of course, AMD could compare these cards with the RTX 40 line or more new Radons, but then these benefits will not be just as high.
In addition to Gaming, AMD says that its new media engine RDNA 4 can encode H.264 with the best image quality, and it will support encoding and decoding up to 8K/80 frames per second. As for II, 9070 XT is 34 percent faster than the RX 7900 GRE, using the Davinci Resolve magic mask, and it is 70 percent faster when using Proshon SD XL for generative AI.
If the AMD manages to save in the Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT warehouse, as well as maintain prices at a reasonable level, I will not be surprised if some unfortunate measures of NVIDIA will jump onto the ship.
