We reviewed both AMD graphics cards

Our review of the AMD Radeon RX 9070 gave it an 8/10. It matches the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 in price but outperforms it in most games, with 16GB of VRAM for better future-proofing. It consumes similar power to the RTX 5070.

**AMD Radeon RX 9070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas**

"The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is an outstanding 1440p graphics card that renders the competition nearly irrelevant. It delivers excellent 1440p performance, often reaching high-refresh rates, even without frame generation, and includes an AI upscaler for enhanced image quality. Its only drawback is how closely it competes with the Radeon RX 9070 XT."

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT earned a perfect 10/10 in our review. Priced $150 less than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, it surpasses it in several games, with significant performance gaps in some benchmarks. It also features 16GB of VRAM but consumes more power and runs hotter than the RTX 5070 Ti.

**AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Review by Jacqueline Thomas**

"Since 2020, PC gaming has been on a downward spiral, but the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT reminds us it doesn't have to be this way. This card effortlessly maxes out any game at 4K, even with ray tracing, at a price that makes competitors seem exorbitant. While only time will tell if the launch price remains, what's clear is the need for more graphics cards like the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT."
