What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it beats the RTX 5070 in most games without ray tracing, has more memory and runs cool and efficiently. All three found the RX 9070 XT better value for a little more money; Club386 and KitGuru also note that FSR 4 is in few games so far, and KitGuru that demanding ray tracing remains a weakness.
