Ray tracing still behind NVIDIA
Raster is amazing. Ray tracing in Cyberpunk at 1440p gets me 55fps vs 75fps on my friend's 5070 Ti. FSR 4 helps but it's still a step behind DLSS 4.
AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT — RDNA 4 flagship with 16GB GDDR6. Outstanding 1440p/4K rasterization performance. FSR 4 with AI upscaling.

At $419 this is unbeatable. Raster performance matches the RTX 5070 Ti for $100 less. FSR 4 is finally competitive with DLSS. Perfect for 1440p high refresh.
For gaming this is fantastic value. However, if you want to run Stable Diffusion or LLMs locally, forget it. ROCm support is terrible on Windows and even on Linux it's a pain.
Two driver crashes in the first week and audible coil whine under load. AMD released a patch that fixed the crashes but not the coil whine. Returned mine for a refund.
Components that pair perfectly with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB.
