Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

What does this "premium" OC model get you for the additional $130 over MSRP? It's literally the same cooler and pcb as the MSRP model, just with a whopping 5% overclock. My particular unit had very bad coil whine, it was louder than the fans and everything else in my build. The cooler is also undersized, and this card runs hot. Hot spot temps were near 90c (88.9c according to HWINFO) and memory temps reached 94c. That's just too hot for $130 over the MSRP. I am using a O11 Vision with bottom and side intake and there's plenty of airflow and access to cool air in my build - expect this card to run even hotter if you don't have sufficient airflow in your case. There doesn't seem to be anything "premium" about this model to justify the increased price at all. If this card was an MSRP model at $600 I could have potentially lived with these faults, as there are many positive features of these 9070 XTs. With some slight tuning I was able to achieve better than out of the box performance using significantly less power - I was able to limit power draw -20% and set an undervolt of -.80 with an overclock value of +500 (which it will not achieve, but will run at a maximum clock based on load and power). All of this was easily done through the better than the competition adrenaline software. Surprisingly games were a few fps HIGHER than stock while using around 270 watts (stock is 330). The card ran cooler (hot spot was a much better 80c), but memory still ran warm at 92c. Not to mention FSR 4 actually being good... but RNDA 4 is surprisingly efficient as well (when tuned). It's a shame AMD isn't doing anything to resupply MSRP models. I have been checking best buy and other competitors (microcenter being one) and since launch there hasn't been any MSRP cards - this card is as close as it has come to $600 to get a 9070XT, and it just feels bad at $730. AMD insists that MSRP models are a priority but I think they are just "jebating" gamers. If they wanted to have MSRP models on store shelves they could easily do so. I'm returning this for the coil whine and awful cooler/value. I can't recommend this card at the current price.

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.

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.

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!

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 video compares the real-world benchmarks of the RX 7800 XT and the RX 9070 XT to see if the upgrade is truly worth it. RX 7800 XT vs RX 9070 XT Real World Benchmarks

This thing is an absolute animal. Upgraded from a EVGA 3080ti and have seen notable performance increase paired with a Ryzen 7 7800x3D. System cooling has also dropped ~20-25° C under load with a stable 120 FPS on all games at 1440p. FSR frame generation also works phenomenal on games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 where optimization is poor.

This is a very quiet and awesome GPU. Games play smoothly at extreme setting, COD, Battlefield, etc... Get it if you can and as it is hard to find.

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.

Just perfection, super fast and good. Love the graphics

Overall great card! Great cooling system in it, stays below 60°C in every game I play. Very powerful and capable 1080p/1440p gpu.

This thing is amazing. I use it for 1440p ultrawide gaming and it performs flawlessly on everything I throw at it at the highest settings. The card itself runs very quietly too. Fantastic bang for buck.

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.

This card is quiet and performs great! I've got no complaints, and I'm super happy that AMD decided to go with 16GB VRAM.

An excellent gpu for mid-high end gaming and plenty of VRAM fof gamez

Great card, am able to get good temps with under volt and great performance after drivers updates.

Upgraded from a 3080ti to this and havent played anything i couldnt run yet. My one gripe so far however the software amd uses is not very user friendly compaired to Nvidia. That being said if your looking for a gpu for 1440p or 4k gaming this may be the one for you rivaling Nvidia speeds for a lower price all without the use of ai frame gen

The new FSR technology is insane, minor visual impact with increased performance, This card is super powerful and hands my VR games beautifully I don’t care for the A.I. generated frames, it doesn’t actually work, for example, on black ops 6 if i get 100 fps regularly, I can turn on frame gen, it says I’m getting 200 fps, but it doesn’t feel or look like it at all, it just says it, it actually feels worse, more input lag and stutters feel twice as bad, almost like it’s generating those stutters multiple times

Excellent card , plays everything very good , card runs exceptionally cool. Very happy
