AMD has made a strong comeback in the graphics card market with its latest RX 9070 XT and 9070 models, leaving even a loyal Nvidia fan impressed. The company’s presentation showcased the capabilities of its new GPU architecture, RDNA 4, which outperforms previous generations in rasterization and ray tracing.
The most convincing part of the presentation was how well AMD directly compared its cards to Nvidia’s offerings, rather than just listing performance statistics. The RX 9070 XT surpasses the RX 7900 GRE at 4K by up to 60%, while also beating out the RTX 5070 Ti with overclocked cards by 2%. This comparison is significant, especially considering that the RX 9070 XT is priced $150 lower than its Nvidia counterpart.
AMD’s focus on mid-range price points seems like a smart move, as it can compete directly with Nvidia’s cards in these areas. The company has also highlighted its anti-lag software and Frame Steaming technology (FSR 4), which provide improved performance and reduced latency.
While the review is still pending for AMD’s cards and Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5070, it seems that AMD has taken the lead in this round. The company’s presentation showcased its capabilities, and the RX 9070 XT and 9070 models have won over even a die-hard Nvidia fan.
