- A new performance leak reveals that Radeon RX 9070 XT of AMD is 42% faster than RX 7900 GRE to 4K
- The performance results could suggest a possible battle with the RX 7900 XT GPU of the previous generation of the previous generation and the RTX 5070 TI of NVIDIA of Nvidia
- AMD will reveal its new RDNA 4 GPU line on February 28
Nvidia has had its time to win fans with the launch of the RTX 5000 series GPU, and things have not gone exactly without problems for the GPU team with GPUs with missing Rops (rendering units) and a large amount of other supply problems. AMD now has the opportunity to take advantage of, and a new leak suggests that Radeon RX 9070 XT could do exactly that.
According to an AMD filtered figure (in the photo below, originally seen by Videcardz), the new RX 9070 XT runs 42% faster than the RADEON RX 7900 GRE in 4K Ultra Settings in multiple games, hinting a potential competition with The RTX 5070 TI of Nvidia Nvidia. The performance profits on the GPU of the previous generation are seen both in the raster yield and in the light tracking, so the complete image is not yet clear, but it is certainly promising.
It is important to keep in mind that RX 7900 GRE is the strongest comparison point here: None of the RTX 4000 or 5000 series of NVIDIA is used for reference. The GRE was previously a GPU only by China that was launched worldwide after a positive reception, although it is less powerful than RX 7900 XT, sitting between RTX 4070 Super and 4070 TI of NVIDIA in terms of games performance. However, based on the 42%suggested performance difference, this could indicate the new RDNA 4 GPU position with the previous flagship RX 7900 XTX and RTX 5070 TI of NVIDIA.
Team Red will exhibit its GPU line of the Radeon RX 9000 series on February 28 in preparation for a launch of early March; Here, we are likely to see the price of the cards and the complete presentation of FSR 4, which already has a hard competition in the impressive DLSS of Nvidia 4.
AMD, it’s now or never …
Nvidia currently faces a violent reaction about the launch problems surrounding her Blackwell GPU (as well as high prices in high -end cards), so there is no better time than now for AMD to capitalize. Almost no information is available with respect to the new GPUs of the RADEON RX 9000 series, excluding its brief revelation in CES 2025 and a range of leaks and rumors, so there is a lot of space for surprises.
Team Red has promised Ray Tracing updates with RDNA 4 architecture, something that its fierce rival Nvidia has essentially dominated at this time. The previous generation of Radeon fought with the lightning layout, with the performance of the flagship RX 7900 XTX against other cards instead, so it is promising to hear that there will be a greater focus on other improvements with the new Radeon GPU line .
To put it lightly, Nvidia is in a slightly tight situation with a lot of problems present in the three GPUs released: the RTX 5090, RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 TI have been affected by the problem of missing Rops, which won ‘T feels good with consumers, especially given the high admission price for those cards. This could give Team Red the impulse required to win fans, with attractive performance results of the GPU at affordable prices.
It is clear that these new AMD GPUs are supposed to compete at the upper end (with the 32 GB GPU rumor now weakened). But if RX 9070 XT can compete with the RTX 5070 TI of Team Green without problems of existences and inflated prices, we could have a middle -rank winner in our hands.
