The 9070xt is a great card and much better value than the equivalent Nvidia offering, last time I checked the benchmarks. The Linux compatibility was the other major draw. My system is now 100% AMD and I’m preparing to trial Steam os and Bazzite.
Honestly this whole “AMD sells more!” “Well Nvidia sells more in THIS place!” is a fool’s errand to keep fighting over. Different locations in the world will have different pricing and thus it will shift which brand/card is better value for the money, and it will also depend on local tax laws and a ton of other variables. Brazil, for example, has AMD have somewhat lower prices overall thanks to AMD having an assembly plant here, something neither Nvidia and Intel have, and thus, their GPUs/CPUs are more expensive.
They’d probably sell even more of their naming scheme was less confusing.
It’s just “confusing” because people are used to nvidia naming
Well good thing the 9070 series is the series that is trying to adopt a more Nvidia-like naming scheme.
Yeah it has two names. But slightly less confusing
The 9070 had two names? You’re talking about the regular, the XT, and GRE?
I am not retaking the GRE to use that card.
I’m wooshing. Is that some kind of test where you live?
Yeah it’s the exam you take for grad school in the US for some colleges. I think it is the “graduate readiness exam” but it’s been a few years and I cant spare 10 seconds to look lol.
It’s really good. I can see the 9070 and the XT being GTX 970 and GTX 1060 levels of long term relevance in gaming PCs
I saw a Black Friday sale for a 5080 for around €1k, a decent OC model too. I have no interest in supporting NVIDIA or their fire hazards with the way they’ve been acting.
Right now on Amazon you can get an RTX 5070 for cheaper than an RX 9070 XT. The obvious choice is still the RTX 5070.
RTX 5070 ~$550 RX 9070 XT ~$630
