Nvidia’s dominance over the latest generation of graphics cards ends today. AMD might have surrendered the high end of the GPU market, but its new $549 Radeon RX 9070 and $599 RX 9070 XT look set to bring Nvidia back to reality, at least in the midrange.

At $600, AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT is just where it needs to be to compete for 4K gaming against the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti.

AMD has finally done it. For years it's tried to undercut NVIDIA with slightly cheaper, but less capable, video cards like the Radeon 6700 XT and 7900 XT. And sure, it's still following that same strategy with the new Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT.

That said, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX's memory bandwidth (384-bit/960GBps) and memory capacity (24GB) are undeniable advantages. The Radeon RX 9070 XT ships with a 256-bit memory interface and 16GB of GDDR6, which gives it 640GBps of bandwidth. That should be sufficient to avoid any major bottlenecks, but it is still less than some competing options.

Here are the ASRock Taichi 9070 XT benchmarks, as we run the new graphics card in Indiana Jones, Black Ops 6, and more, with FSR 4 tests.

AMD’s RX 9070 series delivers high-refresh 1440p and smooth 4K gaming, improved ray tracing, AI-powered FSR 4, and HYPR-RX for enhanced performance.

The $549 and $599 price points put these GPUs in intense competition with NVIDIA’s RTX 50-series. Plus, AMD committed to an AI telecom solution layer at Mobile World Congress.

AMD's Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT offer more frames with FSR 4, but will it compete on performance for the lower price?

AMD’s answer to Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs is arriving next week — and its new graphics cards are aggressively priced against Nvidia’s $749 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and $549 RTX 5070. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT ship on March 6th for $549 and $599, respectively, one day after the RTX 5070 arrives.

Watch out, Nvidia? AMD reveals its Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT graphics cards, and a new FSR 4 feature built to rival DLSS.
