Source: Digitec GalaxusStrong and weak With the two new cards, there are also two new versions of the popular RX 9070 XT. AMD's current top GPU remains well cooled here too, but suffers from a high VRAM temperature, as with all the custom designs we are currently testing. In the Asus model, the latter is still within a tolerable range, while the Acer model goes a little overboard...
Sapphire's RX 9070 XT Nitro+ has some special features in the test field. The 33 centimetre long, light grey cooling block with its three 100 millimetre fans protrudes far beyond the circuit board. The power connection in the form of a 12V 2x6 socket and the ARGB connection for the lighting control are located at the rear...
The RX 9070 XT was completely convincing in the test: it offered a high speed - even in power-hungry 4K resolution with full detail playback. The best thing: AMD has significantly increased the ray tracing speed with the new RDNA-4 graphics chip - and thus eliminated a disadvantage compared to Nvidia.
The Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 XT Nitro+ impressed in the test with consistently high speeds, even in 4K resolution with ray tracing effects. Overall, it was almost as fast as Nvidia's Geforce RTX 5070 Ti (1100 euros). The speed of the Sapphire RX 9070 Pulse was on a par with the Geforce RTX 5070.
