Got mine for 729. Not msrp but overall, the card has been awesome. Didnt have any of the fan issues other reviews have mentioned. Playing HelllDivers 2 at ultra settings and native 4k rendering, and its butter smooth. Card designed and built well

Say hello to the highest value 9070 XT

I just upgraded from a 6700 XT to the AMD 9070 XT, and the jump in performance has been dramatic. At 3840x1600, I’m now seeing frame rates in the low to mid-100s, and at 1440p 16:9 they climb into the high-100s—everything feels buttery smooth.
What really surprised me is how quiet it runs, basically silent even under load.
I also had to upgrade my power supply since this version takes three PCIe connectors, but I actually like that it feels like the card is using the power it needs to really deliver.
On top of that, I’m really happy with the build quality. The backplate and cooler design give it a lot of rigidity, which matters since these cards are massive these days. Even though this is the cheapest version I could find, I honestly don’t see what more I’d want from a more expensive model.
I’m getting max performance right out of the box. For me, it’s been the perfect upgrade: quiet, solidly built, and insanely fast compared to my old 6700 XT.

4K Beast - No More Coil Whine

This is the card that made me sell my TUF 4070 Ti Super OC.
I haven’t owned a Gigabyte card since a 1050 Ti, but always loved their boards. But this card? Def changed my mind about Gigabyte and Radeon. Plays all my games in 4K ultra and asks for more. As for the coil whine claims? All true…IF you’re running Windows 10 or 11. First run thru on the test bench had Windows 11. When I cranked it to ultra 4K, yes, it made plenty of noise. Since then I’ve deleted Windows, installed Bazzite and run in Steam mode. Quiet as can be running native 4K ultra, even with the fans full tilt. This card is amazing, and the 9070 series is why people are flocking back to Team Red.

Very fast! 1440p max settings on everything I've tried. Big improvement for ray tracing over last generation. I have not experienced any coil whine like in other posts. I would definitely recommend this card!

Love it ~ I was initially planning on getting a 5070ti, but after much research, I went with an AMD and it did not disappoint. Be sure to download the “recommended” drivers - I made the mistake of getting the newest and ran into some lag in the beginning. I haven’t played with any of the parameters yet, but running Expedition 33 or Cyberpunk 2077 with game setting set to ultra, the 9070 performs very well and at cool temps!

This thing runs circles around my 6700xt and was a great upgrade. It crushes titles at 4K barely even breaking a sweat; unless you use Ray tracing. Everything I’ve thrown at it, including VR runs wonderfully and the card stays relatively quiet without a ton of rgb vomit to distract you. The price is a reasonable one but it’s even better if you can score a returned card.

Cons:
Vram runs abit hot at around 92C on stock settings, but they can supposedly handle up to 120C (over 100C not recommended).
At the time of buying, driver crashes, but they have improved.
Eats a lot of power compared to RTX 50 Nvidia cards, sometimes over 100W more.
Pros:
Doesn't use sussy 12HPWR cable
Driver has a lot of features for streaming and saving videos.
Can tune GPU settings pretty well.
Overall, a good bang for the buck. Comes close to RTX 5080 performance for less money.

I was really hesitant to upgrade from the RTX 4070 to the RX 9070XT because I do some light game dev and video work. But at the end of the day I’m seeing excellent performance at 3440x1440 in Battlefield 6 and Oblivion Remaster with team Red.
Drivers have been stable thus far. Only nit pick I have is the LED on the side of the card seems to just do it's own thing.

Excellent performing GPU, performs significantly better than my RTX 4070 even in ray tracing. 9070 XTs at MSRP were impossible to get in my area, this was the best price I could get and I am pleased with it.

Best purchase for my pc so far. Going from 2070 super to this was epic. Playing every game i throw at it at 4k with good temps. Have not seen this gpu break over 70° and thats playing native 4k. High to epic settings temps be around 63° to 65°. The price and performance of this card beats paying and extra 6 to $800 for a 5080 just for an extra 10 to 15fps gain anyday.

Amazing Card for the Money

Great overall GPU that performs really well. Mem and HotSpot temps can get up to high 80s but the card is still perfectly fine at those temps considering this is one of the shorter 9070XTs length wise. If the fans go above 50% speed it sounds like a jet taking off but my card never really needs to go above 40%. Got it to pass a Steel Nomad run with an Undervolt of -120 and a Mem Clock of 2774MHz, it scored 7997 points. -65 and 2714MHz is what I keep it at most of the time though because it's the highest I can go that is still stable in all of the games I've tried so far. FSR4 is really great as well, just wish AMD would push Devs to put it in games faster and let RX 7000 owners use it officially.

I love the card, definitely runs better then other models, but at the cost of using three pcie connectors instead of a high wattage or a two pcie like many other models.

It's not the cheapest 9070xt on the market, but due to my existence in a instant gratification society, I willing to pay a little extra to get it the same day.
That said, the card is good. I went from 7900 to this 9070xt, and it was a much needed upgrade. I went from not being able to play helldivers 2 on even the lowest settings, to playing on max settings.

Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT performed very well right out of the box. I haven't done any tuning to either the GPU or CPU yet, and I am able to achieve around 72 FPS on DCS VR with most settings on high, and around 110 FPS on Black Myth: Wukong with settings mostly on ultra on my 3440 x 1440 monitor. Highly recommended!

The RX 9070 XT is a great value proposition. I've had no driver issues or performance issues running 32:9 5120x1440. FSR4 performance is good, and the visual quality is great (slightly lagging behind dlss4 but on par or better than dlss3 IMO). Solidly better visual quality than XESS with way less of a performance hit, for reference.
Even at nearly 4k resolution, this GPU keeps up in most titles. The 16GB of VRAM is maybe a concern long-term for 4k res, but if you're aiming for a fast 144hz+ 1440p card this is gonna be it for a while.
Overall, this card is relatively quiet, has good cooling, good performance, and isn't too gaudy. Plus, it's not excessively long- attached is a comparison to my old 6800 xt and it's nearly an inch shorter (and half a slot less thick)

This GPU since getting has treated me well and for being a low tier in the AIB space of 9070XTs it's a solid unit, better than the eagle variant given how quiet it is under full load and over when the power limit is raised. It performs in the middle-upper end of the pack for 9070XT units due to its factory OC. Overall good purchase but wait for it to hit MSRP unlike with what I did.

I upgraded to this from a GTX 1080, and I'm extremely happy with my purchase. It's arguably the best graphics card right now in terms of price and performance. Definitely recommend getting if you're looking to upgrade for 1440p gaming, and shipping was VERY fast! NOTE: if your case has a support bracket, make sure you angle it so it isn't preventing the fans from spinning.

Bought to replace an nVidia card in a full time Linux build. All issues I was having disappeared and now Linux gaming is real. If nVidia issues are holding you back from going full Linux on your gaming machine this is the card for you.

I live in Brazil, but the graphics card has arrived and seems to be in good condition. I’ll only be able to test it on August 21st, but I’m already happy since it comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
