“AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Outshines RTX 4070 Ti Super in Stunning Gaming Performance Reveal”

There is no official information available yet regarding the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and its capabilities, but a fascinating new gaming performance leak adds more weight to the notion that it is poised to compete with Nvidia cards, such as the RTX 5070, in the mid-range gaming GPU sector.

AMD officially unveiled the latest RDNA 4 graphics card during CES 2025 last week, but many of the official specifics remain uncertain, leading to speculation to fill the void. This includes hints in a leaked RX 9070 XT benchmark that its performance is comparable to the RTX 4080 Super, positioning AMD as a formidable contender for the best graphics card for the average gamer.

This latest speculation originates from a now-removed post on the Chiphell forums, but has also been shared by X (formerly Twitter) user @9550pro in a recent tweet. The original leak comes from Chiphell admin nicknamed nApoleon, who disclosed intriguing performance metrics regarding how well the RX 9070 XT performs while playing Cyberpunk 2077 and Black Myth: Wukong, in comparison to both the RTX 4080 Super and RTX 4070 Ti Super. Even though the card is referred to as XXXX XT in the post, it is a reasonable assumption that it pertains to this specific GPU, considering the timeline and the cards it is being compared against.

The leak presents FPS outcomes for all three graphics cards at 4K, 2K, and 1080p resolutions. While there is no evidence to back up the claim, such as in-game screenshots displaying FPS figures, nApoleon’s data implies that the RX 9070 XT outperforms the RTX 4070 Ti Super, but slightly falls short of the RTX 4080 Super in both titles.

No further details have been provided, and it remains ambiguous what settings were utilized for these evaluations, so it might be an unequal comparison, at least for the time being. Even if the testing conditions are genuinely equitable, it must be noted that it’s still an unreleased card, which means it lacks optimized drivers, leading to the possibility that gameplay performance could improve once the card is officially launched, depending on its specifications.

While it’s premature to draw extensive conclusions from this data, it does provide a positive indication that AMD has engineered a competent mid-tier GPU, capable of delivering consistently high framerates at 1440p, and even achieving 30fps at 4K in certain situations. However, very limited information has been verified about the RX 9070 XT thus far, including its official specifications. Nonetheless, emerging price speculations for the RX 9070 XT suggest it could be a cost-effective option compared to Nvidia’s mid-range RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti cards, with a price range estimated between $479 and $549.
