Benchmarks of AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 XT have been leaked online. Its non-XT counterpart performed well on Call of Duty : Black Ops 6but that’s to be expected since this game generally runs better on AMD hardware. Although the screenshots were deleted from Chiphell, user X managed to keep them. In synthetic tests, it performs surprisingly well and exceeds the expectations set by previous leaks.
In 3D Mark Time Spy Extreme, the Radeon RX 9070 scores 14,588 points in graphics. It is located between the GeForce RTX 4080 Super and the Radeon RX 7900 XTX. In 3D Mark Speedway, it scores 6,345 points, which is, once again, on par with the last generation of RDNA 3. Unfortunately, this proves that the Radeon RX 9070 is still lagging behind Nvidia in in terms of ray tracing performance, because its performance is comparable to that of a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super.
At full load, the Radeon RX 9070 XT consumes approximately 379 Watts. This matches expectations well, but AMD’s main problem has been standby power consumption. The leaker adds that these performances are not final and will improve with new drivers. Historically, AMD GPUs have always improved over time, and while the Radeon RX 9070 XT isn’t an RTX 4090 killer, it should deliver RTX 4080 Super performance at half the price.
