Sapphire Pure AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT: Great Even in White

Noise level, Operating characteristics – Cyberpunk

Fan behavior, noise level

The fans are low-profile, making them quieter at higher speeds compared to many other cards. The minimum performance that can be set in the fan control is 15%, at which they run at around 700 RPM, and the measured noise level is below 30 dBA. They start to become noticeably audible around 1500 RPM. At a normal distance of about one meter, they become audible around 1800 RPM.

 

Cyberpunk 2077, RT Medium, 3840 × 2160

The first set of measurements comes from the Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark with RT Medium settings at a resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels. With this setup, the GPU is fully loaded. This involves eight consecutive benchmark runs.

The graph always shows the last run, from which the average value for the warmed-up card is calculated.

The GPU clock speed ranges between 2619 and 2788 MHz, with an average of 2685 MHz.

The card’s power consumption hovers around the GPU limit read from HWiNFO. Green represents the card’s power consumption according to monitoring, and blue is the CPU’s power consumption according to monitoring (read via HWiNFO).

The dark color represents the total PC power consumption measured with a UT71E multimeter.

The average chip temperature is below 60 °C, but the control is based on the hotspot temperature. Memory temperatures are at the 90 °C mark.

A small spike always appears with a sudden increase in load when starting the test, but the values are lower than on the Pulse RX 9070 XT. The fan speeds are similar to those of the Pulse RX 9070 XT.

Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC: Gigabyte’s affordable choice

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT delivers better price-to-performance than competing GeForce cards and 4 GB more memory than the RTX 5070. The Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16G is the more affordable of Gigabyte’s two RX 9070 XT models. While it doesn’t match premium variants in overall performance, it offers more capable power delivery, a higher power limit for factory overclocking, and greater overclocking headroom than base models.

Sapphire Pure AMD Radeon RX 9070: Better than RTX 5070, but…

AMD set the price of the more affordable Radeon RX 9070 as a direct competitor to GeForce RTX 5070. Compared to Nvidia’s card, it offers better raw performance and 16 GB of memory instead of 12 GB. For dedicated gamers, AMD’s Radeon is the more attractive option. However, there’s one compelling reason to avoid the RX 9070 from AMD—the slightly more expensive but significantly more powerful Radeon RX 9070 XT.

Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT: A Big Comeback

AMD has listened to gamers and seized an opportunity created by criticism of the new GeForce RTX 50 series. With the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT, it has set aggressive prices that make many overlook minor drawbacks compared to GeForce. The RX 9070 XT is only slightly slower than the RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization but offers a far more attractive price, especially compared to overpriced non-reference GeForce cards.
