Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been extremely impressed with this RX 9070 XT so far. I originally purchased an RTX 4080 before deciding to return it and try this card instead, and honestly, I’m glad I did. Yes, the 4080 is technically the more powerful card overall, especially in certain ray tracing workloads, but in actual day-to-day gaming and real-world use, the difference ended up being much smaller than I expected. Considering the price difference and my overall experience, this card has been the better fit for me. First off, installation was incredibly easy. The card feels very solid and well-built right out of the box without being absurdly oversized like some flagship GPUs have become. I installed it into my AM4 system with DDR4 memory, and everything worked immediately without any headaches. Drivers installed cleanly, Windows recognized the card instantly, and I was up and gaming surprisingly fast. No crashes, weird compatibility issues, or tweaking required just to get stable performance. One thing that really surprised me is how well this card performs even on an older AM4 platform. I’m running DDR4 RAM and not the latest cutting-edge setup, yet this GPU absolutely flies. Anyone worried that they need to upgrade their entire system to take advantage of a newer graphics card should feel reassured because this paired beautifully with my existing hardware. Performance has been excellent across the board. The cooling performance is also fantastic. Under gaming load, this card stays much quieter than I expected. Even during longer gaming sessions, the fans remain low and unobtrusive instead of sounding like a jet engine ramping up every few minutes. Temperatures have remained solid, and I’ve been consistently impressed with how efficiently the cooler handles heat. The overall acoustic profile of this card is honestly one of my favorite things about it because powerful GPUs are often much louder than this. Gaming performance has been outstanding. I’m getting extremely high frame rates at high settings, and the card handles modern games effortlessly. In actual gameplay, it feels very close to the RTX 4080 I had previously installed. Unless you are constantly benchmarking or heavily focused on maximum ray tracing performance, the real-world gap is smaller than internet discussions sometimes make it seem. Another major reason I kept this card is the AMD software experience. I personally prefer AMD’s software suite over NVIDIA’s current setup. Everything feels cleaner, easier to navigate, and less bloated overall. Features are easy to find, updates are straightforward, and I appreciate that the AI-related features don’t feel overly intrusive or constantly pushed in your face. AMD’s implementation feels more user-friendly and less gimmicky to me. The included features like performance tuning, monitoring, frame generation options, and recording tools all work well without feeling complicated. I also appreciate how stable the drivers have been so far because that was one of my biggest concerns going back to AMD after years with NVIDIA cards. Overall, this has been an excellent GPU upgrade. It delivers fantastic performance, runs cool and quiet, installs easily, and works extremely well even in an AM4 DDR4 system. Unless you absolutely need the very top-end NVIDIA-specific features, this card offers an incredible experience and feels like a much better overall value.

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

The Gigabyte GPU has been a huge upgrade for my setup. Performance is insanely smooth in games, graphics look way sharper, and FPS stays high even on demanding settings. It runs cooler and quieter than I expected, and the design looks super clean inside the build. Definitely feels like a high-end card and was 100% worth the upgrade for gaming.

This is a fantastic video card. It was easy to install, the drivers seem stable, and the AMD control software gives tons of control over tweaking it for best performance in many popular games. Note that this card consumes a lot of power. It has THREE 8-pin power ports that need to be hooked up to your power supply, and it's strongly recommended your power supply be 750 or 800 watts.

Coming from team green (3070), the 16 GB really makes a difference. I can play games like Helldivers 2 at 1440p at 120fps easily. BF6 at 1440p at 120fps as well, no issues. Haven't tried the FSR mechanism to be honest. Drivers are stable

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.

I oicked this GPU because of its size and length. Its about 288mm long and doesnt have the biggest chunkiest cooling solution attached. Its been running pretry cool under gsming loads at about 65° C and about 85° C at the hottest point. Ive seen reviews saying they hear coil whine but i have not experienced that. Its pretty quiet in the regular bios setting and have not had to switch it to silent mode.

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.

Coming from a 3070 Ti 8gb this graphics card is definitely worth it for the increase performance and 16gb vram. Out of the box it is fairly quiet with acceptable temps. When tweaked for efficiency, the max temps during gaming I get are just above 50c without any noticeable sacrifice to performance. Tweaks also make it even quieter, making me have moments where I wonder if the gpu is even working and getting power.

Great performance for less than the comparable Nvidia GPUs on the market. First off the card runs pretty quiet playing maxed out settings on every game ive tried. the VRAM does get a little bit hot but never to a concerning level. GPU core stays nice and cool. im getting over 120fps averages in Conan Exiles playing at 2k resolution which is pretty good considering how badly optimized that game is even on the best graphics cards. I am using this card with an AMD Freesync Pro monitor and i get NO screen tearing or visual disruption. its impressive how far they've come with the user experience, Adrenalin is much nicer to use than catalyst was. no issues with drivers so far! very minimal physical design but my case is under my desk so i dont really care what it looks like. just know that its not going to be a crazy RGB looking card. the only issue i have with this thing is the price - I would have preferred to pay somewhere closer to the $600's for this card but im still thankful i was able to get it for $100 under what the 5070ti is going for (with comparable performance). I think AMD has a really great opportunity to show that NVIDIA isnt the only player on the block with cards like this and i hope they continue to be competitive in that space. also may need to get a GPU sag bracket, this card is pretty long as most modern cards are. It gets an A from me, only reason it doesnt get an A+ is because it requires 3x 8-pin connectors and i had to buy an additional one for my old EVGA power supply on eBay.

Unlike the latest craze, I still use my GPU for gaming. This thing will run anything out there on high settings and barely break a sweat! My only complaint is the small LED on it is not very customizable, but it's a small complaint since my old card didn't have one at all so I just turned this one off.

Quiet and cool, with functional 0RPM mode if desired. Great performance, factory OC with 330W TDP up from 304W. Allows an additional +10% TDP in AMD adrenalin for 360W if desired. Memory temps reach up to 90C on stock settings if you worry about that, my unit has SK Hynix memory.

I wanted to give AMD a try after having Nvidia GPUs since my 1660 Super. It’s like going from iOS to android. You seem to have way more control out of the box. Overall it is a solid GPU and it is awesome having so much VRAM available. My only complaint is the stupid zero fan RPM setting in the controller software.

It's a solid upgrade to any rig, it's more powerful than my old 3080 but runs quieter and cooler, and uses less power.

I upgraded from an RTX 3060 to the RX 9070. Meant to do the 9060, but things happen, and I spent double on a GPU. Upset at first about the mistake, but after using it for over a week, im fine with the mess up. Its so much better and so quiet compared to wgat i use to have. The adrenaline software is straightforward and really in-depth. You can turn off all AI frame generation and still achieve amazing FPS.

Wow what a great video card. Solid and very quiet, does bot get hot when pushed. Thinking after some future updates this will be a card i will.use for years.

A great base card from Asus. The fans are quiet in my opinion up to 2300 rpm. Even at max rpm of 3300 it doesn't sound high pitched. It has dual bios, power adjustable up 116%. Core voltage adjustment +100 in MSI Afterburner. Phase change TIM, so no need to reapply paste anytime soon. In benchmark tests the hottest I've seen it get was 68 to 70c. Gaming it stays in the low to mid 60. That's with my ambient temp of 90F, 33C. The memory junction temp. is 64 to 66c. It seems like a great card for a base. I have had it for about 3 weeks. I love it. For an MSRP card you can't beat it.

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

Coming from a 6800xt. Performance is exceptional. Rasterized performance is excellent! Ray tracing performance is significantly better compared to rdna2 and i can finally do some path tracing on cyberpunk 2077 albeit FSR4!
