Our verdict on the RX 9070 XT
The RX 9070 XT is a solid mid-range GPU that competes well on price but lacks the ray tracing grunt of its rivals.
Get it if you want a solid 1440p card with good ray tracing and future-ready features, without paying flagship prices. Skip it if you already own a high-end last-gen card or need absolute top-tier 4K performance with maxed settings.
Buy it if…
- You want great ray tracing without paying Nvidia prices.
- You play at high resolution and need that much video memory.
- You are upgrading from an older card and want a big leap in performance.
