AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

A powerhouse that takes the fight to NVIDIA's RTX 5070 Ti for significantly less cash.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
Overall Score
A capable 4K gaming GPU, but contested by the RX 9070 XT
Our Verdict
AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT offers the best value for money out of the two options, giving comparable, if not faster, rasterisation performance with the same amount of video memory at a significantly lower price point. The RTX 5070 Ti remains a good option for those prioritising features like Ray Tracing and Frame Generation, and makes more sense for content creation. On this basis, our overall pick for most people is AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT.
