Based on what we know, AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 will feature RDNA 4 architecture and FSR 4 technology. The expected performance is comparable to that of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and 4070 Ti Super, while the Radeon RX 9070 will compete against the GeForce RTX 4070.
Taken from Forbes … AMD’s next foray into the desktop gaming graphics card market was announced at CES today with the reveal of the Radeon RX 9070 XT And RX 9070. Using its new RDNA 4 architecture, the new graphics cards are aimed at performance levels up to its own Radeon RX 7900 XT and Nvidia’s RTX 4070 Ti Super according to slides shown at is CES event keynote.
Interestingly, AMD says it has simplified its naming scheme to directly compare against Nvidia’s similar-performing models. For example, the RX 9070 XT would compete with RTX 4070 cards such as the RTX 4070 Ti and 4070 Ti Super, while the RX 9070 squares up to the and RTX 4070 and 4070 Super.
However, the slide in question clearly shows a box for the RTX 5000-series too, suggesting the cards will also compete with these models such as the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti. This chart also confirms that the new models from AMD will not offer faster performance than its previous models. In fact, the RX 7900 XTX will outperform the Radeon RX 9070 XT and remain AMD’s flagship in terms of raw performance.
The RDNA 4 architecture uses a 4nm manufacturing process and will sit alongside the new AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 upscaling technology. Similar to Nvidia’s DLSS, it will require the use of Radeon 9000-series RDNA4 graphics cards. There’s no word on this being backwards compatible with previous generations.
