Benchmarks

Measured results, not specifications. Percentages are the gap to the leading product in each test.

Blender Cycles (GPU)

Blender 4.5, Blender Open Data (CC0). Median of monster + junkshop + classroom, combined samples/min.

Blender renders 3D scenes by tracing light through them, which loads every shader unit on the card at once. The score measures sustained render throughput, so it tells you what a card does in Cycles and similar renderers rather than what it does in a game. Figures come from Blender's Open Data project, which places no restriction on reuse, and we publish the median of every submission for that card on the same Blender version.

Verdict

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

9 / 10 Expert Rating

AMD's most well-rounded card in years — near-5070-Ti raster for less, the cheapest path to native 4K 60 FPS, with a narrowed RT gap and improved FSR 4.

AMD ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070

7.5 / 10 Expert Rating

A compact, sensibly priced RX 9070 for buyers who want ASUS without paying for TUF or ROG cooling.
