- A YouTuber has outlined some compelling theories about RX 9070 Performance versus RTX 5070
- This theorizing is based on alleged internal AMD -Bnechmarks to RX 9070, and napkin math for RTX 5070 Image Speeds
- If it pans out, RX 9070 XT could easily beat RTX 5070 Ti and even come within 10% of RTX 5080
AMDS RX 9070 models could easily outgun Nvidia’s middle RTX 5070 TI and 5070 graphics card if a considered prediction from a YouTuber panes.
This is regular rumor that Peddler Moore’s law is dead (Mlid), who in its latest video (embedded below) participates in some napkin mathematics to find out where the performance of RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti GPUs is likely to weigh in (More on the entanglements therein soon). YouTuber then compares it to internal benchmarks allegedly performed by AMD a month ago with its RX 9070 models.
The result is this: To go after these internal tests from AMD – add skepticism with all this, which means benchmarks, and also Mlid’s own theories – Team Red targeted a small victory for RX 9070 XT over RTX 4080 Founders Edition (to the melody of 3 % or so).
Mid then took this level of estimated performance and overlooked it on a graph of benchmarks (a 17-game average) from hardware that is non-boxed that includes RTX 5080. From this we see that in theory the RX 9070 XT is before For 10% of RTX 5080 for rasterized (non-beam tracking) performance at 4K resolution.
In addition, YouTuber added in the aforementioned napkin mathing math -Access to RTX 5070 performance, which is that the vanilla RTX 5070 probably comes in at approx. 20% faster than Nvidia’s RTX 4070 (then in the ballpark of RTX 4070 Ti). And that the RTX 5070 TI is likely to be a rather less generational lift and maybe just a little faster than the RTX 4070 ti super.
Granted, it adds a great deal of uncertainty and IFS-and-Mens, although it is based on sound enough reasoning. (Namely the lifts we have seen to RTX 5090 and 5080, on average – a strong taste of the architectural gains for Blackwell, in other words – and then the relative specifications of the new RTX 5070 models compared to their predecessors).
The RTX 5070 performance may not pan this, but if it roughly does, theorizes mid that the RX 9070 XT (based on these internal AMD Benchmarks) could potentially be 15% faster than the RTX 5070 Ti. And that RX 9070 versus RTX 5070 could also see a win for AMD, more for the melody of 10%, but still, a significant victory.

Analysis: Performance means a little without price
Right, is AMD ready to own the GPU middle class this year? As I have already said a few times-but it carries another publicity just to emphasize-is much of this up in the air theorization, albeit work that makes sense to me. Mid puts some heavy warnings about all this himself, though YouTuber claims that he is self -assured in these predictions.
We need to remember that the graphs used (from hardware that are not boxed) are just equally rasterized performance. Although Mlid also notes that he is convinced that AMD has almost caught up to NVIDIA with Ray tracking in this generation, but another big piece of the puzzle is DLSS 4 and Team Green’s new framework generation. The latter MFG function and other improvements in DLSS 4 are actually huge – and it should not be underestimated. We do not yet know how FSR 4, AMD’s rival next general tech, will shake out, so it is still a pretty heavy question mark here.
Another critical point here is that it is all very good to analyze (potential) relative levels of performance in a theoretical exercise like this, but although this turns out to consider AMD pricing. We know the RTX 5070 taste for the RTX 5070 taste as we have the MSRPs, but we do not do it with the RDNA 4 graphics cards.
My concern is that AMD calculates where to beat RX 9070 and ask prices based on NVIDIA RTX 5070 reviews when they arrive in February (yes, if Team Green stays to its promised launch time frame for these mid-range graphics cards). It has certainly been jerked that AMD is still very aware of pricing, and the question then becomes: How much will Team Red take Nvidia down the middle class?
If it’s a strong motif here, AMD may come in with really competitive MSRPs for the RX 9070 models. But if maximizing profits and returns are higher up on the priority list for RDNA 4, we could become more important than rumor to ask prices.
Who knows is really the point, and the RX 9070 will only be an RTX 5070 murderer -provided MLID’s napkin scraping and GPU hypothesisation is in the right ballpark -if AMD prices it’s an RTX 5070 murderer. Hopefully that is the intention and Mid proposes $ 499 and $ 649 (USA) as possible price tags for a suitable aggressive feature with RX 9070 and its XT siblings respectively.
Earlier there was hope for a price of $ 500 for RX 9070, but if the benefit shapes something as suggested here, there is no reason why AMD should dip lower than the $ 499 mentioned. And again, this will come back to my concern For the fact that AMD may be welcome to just push pricing harder than originally calculated, maybe if the RX 9070 models surpass the RTX 5070s in this vein.
