Certainly an upgrade from my 6800. Easy install, fantastic performance. AMD really stepped up with the 9070XT. Can't wait to see what they plan with project Redstone.

This gpu was very strong and truly bridged the gap between amd and nvidea. Frankly, I hate what nvidea is doing and believe they will stop making gaming cards eventually and if we do not support amd and help them make strong not horribly overpriced cards like this than we might not have any gaming gpu manufacturers in the future

Card performs well, oc and uv well and quiet fans but the terrible coil whine made it terrible. Combined with the mid price of it, I’m returning it and waiting for a different model of 9070xt or a 5070ti

I’ve been using the GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING for some time now, and I am very impressed with its overall performance.
Performance: Handles 1440p and 4K gaming with ease. Most modern titles run smoothly at high/ultra settings, delivering excellent frame rates and very consistent gameplay. It also works great for productivity tasks such as rendering and video editing.
Cooling: The triple-fan WINDFORCE system keeps the GPU running cool even under heavy load. Temperatures stay very stable, and the fans are surprisingly quiet.
Build Quality: Sturdy design with a premium feel. The backplate adds good protection and helps with heat dissipation.
Software: GIGABYTE Control Center makes it simple to adjust fan curves, RGB lighting, and performance profiles.
Value: For its price point, it provides excellent performance and efficiency compared to other cards in the same tier.
Overall, this is a fantastic GPU for gamers and professionals alike. Highly recommended if you want power, stability, and quiet cooling in one package

Radeon RX 9070 XT Review – "On Another Level"

The Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB is simply a beast. From the moment I tried it, I realized it's not just a graphics card, it's a next-level experience.
Performance
It runs the heaviest titles at 4K ultra settings without breaking a sweat.
Competitive games like Call of Duty, Valorant, and Apex Legends run over 200 FPS in 2K with brutal fluidity.
Ray tracing is optimized: realistic shadows, reflections, and lights without dropped frames.
Temperature & Stability
Thanks to its triple Windforce fan and good dissipation, it stays cool even during long sessions.
There's no thermal throttling: total stability even if you push it to the limit.
Creativity & Streaming
For streamers and creators, it's pure gold.
Improved AV1 and H.265 encoding, which means sharper streams with less resource consumption.
Editing 4K video is lightning fast, and exporting projects no longer feels like an eternity.

This is a delayed review. I wanted to save it until I've used the card for a few months. I'm very happy with performance. It runs cool for most games and handles graphically intense titles very well at high settings. Struggles at ultra settings for games like cyber punk but that's expected. Great upgrade from my 3060ti

Loving my 9070 XT!

This card is slightly over base price for a 9070 XT, but considering the current state of the GPU market I think it the Gaming OC model hits a price-to-performance sweet spot. The card runs cool and the fans never spin up on desktop or when streaming video, even at 4K/120.
I upgraded to this card from a 2080 Super, and the performance improvement is substantial. Plenty of benchmarks are available for those looking for hard data, but this card produces results on par with my friend's 4070 Super, and in many games the 9070 XT performs significantly better.
Coming from 8 GB, I can really feel the impact of having a 16 GB VRAM buffer -- my monitor is 1440p/160hz; the impact might not be as significant for those with a 1080p monitor, even a high refresh rate one. Since the 9070 XT has close to parity with the 4070 Super (which, in turn, is basically a 5070), the extra 4 GB of VRAM is a differentiator that may not be super important right now, but could easily become so soon -- I know that some of my friends with 12 GB cards are close to max usage in some new games. Again, they are not being held back yet, but the VRAM required for a good gaming experience is guaranteed to go up. If you plan to have this GPU in your PC for a couple of generations, I'd expect that the 12 GB buffer would start holding you back before then.
Moving on ... AMD's driver/software appears to have gotten much better. The last AMD card I owned as a 7950 (side note: AMD needs to change their naming scheme a bit since years later, they have a CPU with the same name!). That card was good back in its day but software support started lagging toward the end of its life and it was bad enough that I jumped to nVidia for a couple of generations. Despite all the positive hype, I was skeptical that AMD had turned it around. I'm happy to report they have! The software suite ("Adrenaline") is fairly intuitive and unobtrusive; it doesn't pop up annoyingly like GeForce Experience started toward the end of my time with the 2080 Super.
There are some questionable features, like the AI assistant that will answer your questions about AMD products ... I'm not sure there are enough people with product trivia questions to justify its existence, but whatever. I downloaded it for kicks but actually ended up using it to learn where the setting was to disable an Adrenaline hotkey that conflicted with a macro for another program I use for work. It answered quickly and made no attempt to convince me not to disable the feature. I appreciated it saving me from the usual Google-search-to-forum-thread routine I usually resort to. Whether that makes it worth the 12 GB download is your call, but I did go from "bleh" to "meh" after that experience and I'll probably make it my first stop for similar questions in the future.
The lone negative so far is minor and not worth docking a star, but I prefer nVidia's standard output selection of three DisplayPorts and one HDMI port. The Gigabyte 9070 XT Gaming OC has two DisplayPorts and one HDMI port.
To be clear, there is nothing inherently wrong with a "two-and-two" setup, but since I was connecting two monitors and a VR headset to the DisplayPorts on my old card I realized pretty quick that I'd need to dig up an HDMI cable to get everything set up the way I like it.
Consider that more of a "PSA" than a "warning" since some devices (e.g. the Valve Index) must use a DisplayPort and don't play nice with DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapters. In reality, most people (tell me I'm not alone here, LOL) have a drawer of pack-in USB/HDMI cables that came with various devices over the years, so all you'll need to do is dig one of those out -- just be aware that some resolution/refresh rate combos require higher-speed HDMI cables. If you are unsure, just tack one on; their ubiquity makes them pretty cheap these days.
P.S. For those with an SFF system, I can confirm that the dimensions on BestBuy's product listing for this card are accurate, and I can also confirm that this card will fit in both the Fractal Terra and the Fractal Era 2, both on the middle notch (that's notch three on the Terra and notch two on the Era 2). One of the Gigabyte 9070 XT variants is too long for either case (and most SFF cases in general) and would need another notch of space even if you found a way to brute force it in. I'd recommend taking the safe route and double checking your case manual.

The card runs things very well at 1440p with plenty of vram to spare for future games. The price of $730 is alright given the current market but it would be very good closer to MSRP. The card itself is remarkably cool and quiet except I got a little unlucky and got one with some coil whine. Even with the coil whine it's quieter than my old card however.
