RX 9070 XT benchmarks unintentionally leaked in RTX 5070 critiques, this is how a lot sooner it’s

It’s a busy couple of days for tech reviewers as we’re getting back-to-back launches of next-gen graphics playing cards. Immediately, Nvidia’s RTX 5070 is being launched, and tomorrow, we’ll be seeing the launch of AMD’s RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT playing cards. Yesterday noticed the reveal of RTX 5070 critiques, giving us a better take a look at the cardboard’s native efficiency – fairly than counting on the closely DLSS-focused assessments direct from Nvidia.

From the 5070 critiques, we realized that Nvidia’s declare of 4090-level efficiency doesn’t precisely symbolize actuality (right here’s how they actually examine). On high of that, some reviewers have accidently let slip benchmarks for AMD’s XT card; its assessment embargo isn’t due for later in the present day.

RX 9070 XT benchmarks function in some 5070 critiques

Eagled-eyed viewers of TechTubers have noticed some unlucky slip-ups. It isn’t the top of the world, however efficiency benchmarks exhibiting up forward of the embargo is at all times a mistake, and it occurs greater than it’s possible you’ll anticipate. In any case, two YouTubers have let a few assessments slip. First off, Tech YES Metropolis positioned an RX 9070 XT card in its 1440p benchmarks for Marvel Rivals. Trying on the numbers, he 9070 XT is round 16.4% sooner on common in comparison with the 5070.

Apparently, there’s additionally a 5070 Ti benchmark to match towards right here. The Nvidia card wins out on this particular check, having fun with simply over 4% higher efficiency. Nevertheless, it seems just like the 9070 XT provides a lot better worth for cash, being $150 cheaper than the 5070 Ti at MSRP.

The subsequent benchmark price testing is one from standard YouTuber {Hardware} Unboxed. Right here, we don’t have framerate benchmarks to match towards, however we do have a better take a look at energy consumption. Initially, it’s vital to notice that the RX 9070 XT has a ‘customary’ TDP of 304W – however AMD has confirmed some overclocked 340W fashions are capable of extra carefully match and even outperform the 5070 Ti at 4K.

We don’t know the precise 9070 XT card that {Hardware} Unboxed has been despatched for testing right here, but it surely appears to be one of many higher-power fashions. Regardless, we will see that the RTX 5070 is an extremely environment friendly card with simply 324W of energy consumed in comparison with the 9070 XT’s 433W on this Area Marine 2 1440p benchmark.
