Very fast, temperatures are good for a 300+ watt gpu, no coil whine, fans are not loud. My timespy score was about 10,000 with my rx 6600xt, now is about 24,500 with a ryzen 7 5800x (non-3d). Very noticeable improvement and will stretch the lifespan of this current rig for at least a few more years. Thank you Best Buy for your reservation process which allowed me to actually get one of these.

The 9070XT is an incredibly well-performing card at a reasonable value given the current state of the market and options available.
This card is priced over the base MSRP model, but what it does get you is (1) a GPU, don't fool yourself thinking base MSRP models will ever return to stock, they won't, if you missed them at launch they're gone; (2) an out of the box OC (meh); and (3) higher power draw (for more performance and aggressive tuning) that you won't get from a base MSRP card. This allows the card a lot of flexibility if you're looking to tune it - you can opt to crank the power for extra performance and get about 6% or so more out of it if you wanna go that route, or instead drop the power draw and undervolt it to use less power for roughly equivalent performance to the stock tuning while staying way cooler. I went for the latter (-25% power @ peak 248w, and a stable -70v with fast memory timing - higher undervolts work in many games but caused instability in a limited amount in others).
I've not experienced coil whine or issues with the card - my biggest complaint would be the cable management of having to run 3x8 power connectors to the thing, but that's still better than 12vHP. It's also large, but not that much bigger than my Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super it replaced for me.
If you can get your hands on one, I'd recommend. Any partner model priced higher than this card is likely not worth your money.

Performance is excellent — high frame rates, solid temps, and quiet fans even under load. Exactly what I was hoping for in this price range.

Works well, plays all my games and great benchmarking scores on 3dmark. I have a 4k monitor and most games still get good frame rates. Didnt want to pay for overpriced nvidia products. This card is a little no frills but it runs mostly very quiet until i play the most intense graphics games and benchmarks otherwise fan noise is pretty normal. Very minimal led and used 3 normal power connectors that most have already. Amd drivers are pretty stable nowadays so no problems and if you agressively undervolt it usuall comes back to where you can reset driver sertings from saved settings. Dont be afraid to try it.

I upgraded from my RTX 3070 and the 9070XT runs circles around it. The 9070XT is a beast in raw performance. AMD has upped their game in ray tracing performance. This card is perfect for people looking for price to performance. The 9070XT may not be the best in DLSS/FSR, but it excels everywhere elese. Definitely would recommend picking this up!

The 9070XT is an extremely efficient card. It runs quietly and at a low temperature. The AMD Adrenalin software allows for customizing things like the power consumption settings as well as the fan curves, while also providing an array of software features to further boost the card's performance.

The 9070 XT does well against its competition's counterpart. Gigabyte did well with this as the card is not loud nor is it too big like other 9070 XTs. No dripping thermal paste as reported recently. I received mine 2 weeks ago from writing this review, so they may have switched the compound/putty from the earlier versions.

"From Challenger to Champion"

As a former owner of the ASRock Challenger RX 7800 XT, I can tell you that card was a champ. It got the job done for 1440p gaming and never complained. But then, the Gigabyte Gaming RX 9070 XT showed up, and it's like my PC finally learned to fly.
The Performance Upgrade
The leap in performance is genuinely shocking. Going from the 7800 XT to the 9070 XT feels like the difference between a brisk walk and a full-on sprint. I'm seeing a significant bump in FPS, especially at 4K, where the 9070 XT pulls ahead by a massive margin—up to a 40-49% increase in games like Cyberpunk 2077. This isn't just an upgrade; it's a new gaming experience.
New Technology & Power Usage
One of the most impressive things about the 9070 XT is the new technology it packs. The RDNA 4 architecture comes with third-generation ray tracing accelerators and second-generation AI accelerators, which really makes ray tracing and upscaling technologies like FSR 4 shine. It also has a new AMD Radiance Display Engine for better visuals.
Now, for the power usage. While the RX 9070 XT is a more power-hungry card with a typical board power of 304W compared to the 263W of the 7800 XT, it's a small price to pay for the massive performance gain. Plus, with the new efficiency optimizations, you're getting a lot more performance per watt, which is the real magic trick. It's like it's a gourmet chef that uses a little more energy but serves up a Michelin-star meal every time.
In short, if you're looking for a serious upgrade that's worth the investment, the Gigabyte RX 9070 XT is a no-brainer. It's an absolute beast.

This is an excellent gpu. The fans amp up in performance mode but when you change some settings around its quiet and still performs the same even better if you overclock it. 10/10

This thing runs pretty much anything I can throw at it with no problem and handles 1440p solidly. I've heard some reviews saying that the 9070xt runs hot, but this one stays around 60-65C with no issues and that was prior to undervolting, which it handled like a champ.

1440p gamer here. Run an AMD 7900X with 32GB ram. I upgraded from an nVidia GTX 1070 8GB. Ive built two new PCs since my 1070 purchase, but I waited a long time on GPU because value for my purchase was key to me, as i want my choice of GPU to last me a long time. It felt like the right time because of the actual benchmarks without scaling and the slew of reviews for the drivers and performance. It really is crushing everything i throw at it, no sweat. Easy to use AMD drivers. Fantastic performance. Ive owned it since April and i game about 10 hrs a week. I’m honestly shocked and thrilled with it so far - proud of the purchase!

This card delivers excellent 4K gaming performance with smooth frame rates and great cooling thanks to Gigabyte’s triple-fan design. I really like how quiet it runs even under heavy load, and the RGB accents give it a nice premium look in my case. The only downside is its size, so make sure your case has room. Overall, I’d recommend it to anyone wanting high-end performance for modern games and future proofing with PCIe 5.0 support.

I'm coming from a rtx 4070, and this card about double raw fps in all my games. I'm running this off of a 7 5800x3d cpu. My monitor is a Asus 2k Oled 240hz. I did get this OC 9070xt for 719. First time Amd GPU buyer. No regrets. Before this purchase, I was having monitor flickering and black screens randomly, and fps drops. After switching to Amd all those issues went away. Nvidia is having drivers issues with games, they're too focused on AI. I hope they solve it, because they did have great cards. Their costs are to high too.

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.
