But as excited as we are , that hype can only last as long as the card perform well . That ’s how well it performs in closing off , and against competitor card like the RTX 5070 Ti — another placard ride the CES hype gearing ahead of its release .
How do these add-in liken ? Let ’s find out .
Pricing and availability
Neither of these cards are usable just yet , but that ’s soon to commute . The Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti is set to launch towards the end of February , with a proposed price of $ 750 . However , thelaunch of the RTX 5090and 5080 saw incredibly low stock numeral and prices that blow up , with some 2d - hired man grocery trade the cards for 2 - 3 times their original retail cost .
The RX 9070 XT is slated to launch in early March , with rumors pointing to March 6 — viaUnikosHardware .
We have no confirmed pricing information on the identity card yet , but AMD has read rumors of a $ 900 Mary Leontyne Price rag are false — so , less than that . There was also aleaked listing for the card in the Philippinesthat had an equivalent price of around $ 520 . That would massively undersell the 5070 Ti , which is n’t AMD ’s usual scheme , so that seems unlikely .
Specs
AMD has n’t free any spec for the RX 9070 XT just yet , so all we have to go on are rumored specificationsfrom a Filipino fund itemisation . The specifications are around what we ’d wait this circuit card to deliver , though — bear it is the spiritual heir to the 7700 XT that it ’s name would suggest .
The shader unit and RT core counts would be around 20 % higher than last - generation , and the 16 GB of VRAM would be a noted rise over the 12 GB of its predecessor . The high clock focal ratio would be a great increase , however , enkindle some eyebrows .
The RTX 5070 Ti ’s specifications are reassert by Nvidia and put away in — we ’re not ask any on - paper surprises before its launch . The RT cores are more legion , and probably more open than AMD ’s , even if team - bolshy is promise cock-a-hoop ray tracing carrying out improvement this generation . The firm memory and potentially keen overall bandwidth could give it an vantage when it comes to high resolutions like 4 super C — though 16 GB may still circumscribe these board in the most demanding AAA games .
Performance
AMD has n’t told us anything about the RX 9070 XT ’s public presentation yet , nor its architectural details — those are come in a press conference later in February . Until we have anything official , and ultimately test these poster ourselves , we ca n’t say for sure how they ’ll perform . We do have rumored and leak out performance result though , so have ’s take a face at those .
In mid - January , some alleged resultsof the 9070 XT in a couple of in high spirits - end games emerge . In them , it scored 30 FPS at 4 K in Black Myth : Wukong , and 26 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 at 4 green with ray tracing . That compares quite favorably with the RTX 4070 Ti , but falls behind the RTX 4080 Super .
We do n’t quite know how the RTX 5070 Ti will execute yet , either , but we do have Nvidia ’s graphs to go on .
Although in some games where multi frame generation can give it a cost increase , the 5070 Ti is likely to blow mode past the RTX 4070 Ti , it ’s more probable to in reality be about 30 % quicker , if we believe the left over - most results on the above graphical record . If so , that would put it well ahead of the RX 9070 XT based on those leak performance results . particularly since as good as FSR4 will be , it ’s probably not run short to be as proficient as DLSS 4 with frame propagation .
However , another solidifying of alleged carrying into action resultsleaked at the end of January , and they suggest the 9070 XT would actually handily beat the 5070 Ti . If truthful , that would be a heavy shot across Nvidia ’s bow and could dramatically bear upon pricing of these novel generation GPUs .
It’ll all come down to price
AMD has been competitive with Nvidia on performance for a long meter . Not always at the top final stage , and it ’s never quite assess up on ray tracing , but you’re able to get a powerful AMD nontextual matter posting — ordinarily at a price that ’s far too close to Nvidia ’s . With Nvidia ’s better suite of overall features — DLSS is good than FSR , as much as we wish it was more competitive — its card are often worth paying a footling more for .
With the RTX 5070 Ti and RX 9070 XT , we could be look at the 5070 Ti as the degraded card , but the more expensive one , too . If AMD can price the 9070 XT around $ 500 and with FSR4 upscaling and frame generation , with just ray trace support , it could be on to a real winner . If it tries to be Nvidia minus $ 50 , though , it ’s going to be poorly receive .
Alternatively , if the 9070 XT is licitly truehearted than the 5070 Ti , all bets are off . The price could top $ 800 and it might still be a cost in force choice . We ’ll just have to hold back and see . Fortunately , it ’s not long to wait until March .
