Verdict

AMD kicks off its latest generation of graphics cards with a stunning release in the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, delivering RTX 4080-levels of gaming performance at half that card's launch MSRP. While not perfect and not really a card for creative workers or AI research, for the gamers out there who have been...disappointed...by Nvidia's most recent RTX 50 series cards, the RX 9070 XT is nothing short of the graphics card everyone's been asking for—and you might even be able to find it in stock and within spitting distance of its MSRP.
