Three new graphics cards in one week
In the editorial team of the computer base, a very eventful week comes to an end, for days and over the weekend, the PCIe slots shone in the benchmark fever. The result is extensive tests for the GeForce RTX 5070 (test), the two new AMD graphics cards, Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT (test) as well as a clear upsampling comparison between the new Ki-Upscaling FSR 4 and the old FSR 3.1 on the single hand and Nvidias DLSS 3 and DLSS 4. And there are also comparison tests for five custom designs of the Radeon RX 9070 XT as well as five custom designs of the RX 9070 – what a test marathon.
In the current episode of the Base Computer podcast, the focus is clearly on the AMD novelty; The GeForce RTX 5070 is with a 12 GB graphics memory of 10 years to annoy and quickly ticked: Stall with too little memory at the higher price, Jan and Fabian do not inspire.
In contrast to the mDNA 4 and FSR 4. AMD, NVIDIA only trumps in energy efficiency in absolute numbers, but from the perspective of the rDNA 3, the manufacturer offers a small revolution and two graphics cards with a finally competitive software part. But what do you think of the many new ideas of the past week and especially the Radeon contingent? Once again, the Sunday question is dedicated to the topic of graphics cards. Next week there will be something different again – promised!
How does the Radeon RX 9070 (XT) come to the community?
Even before the market launch of the first rDNA 4 graphics cards originally planned for January 2025, rumors were flying like mushrooms, in the last two months there was not a day without new information collation. It was accordingly difficult to approach the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT with AMD FSR 4, which was finally released on Wednesday without expectations. What do you think a few days: Could AMD meet your expectations or even exceed them? Or were you disappointed in the end? AMD has made great improvements with the two new graphics cards in many areas, opened up to Nvidia or even surpassed the competition. Which of the relevant innovations is most important to you?
In the context of miserable availability and absurd prices at GeForce RTX 50, evaluating the technology and performance of new graphics cards is only half the battle. Likewise, looking at the trade is just as important: are the new models actually available at best at acceptable prices? What is your impression, how was the market launch of the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT?
AMD or Nvidia, which graphics card would you recommend?
In view of the current market prices, the question can be formulated which graphics card in the performance classes used by AMD would be in installments – for example a friend who wants to build a new PC. First of all, this is the “normal” class of the 70s, without the Ti or XT suffix.
In the last two days, the GeForce RTX 5070 was offered for an average of 820 euros (median) according to the basic computer bot, and the Radeon RX 9070 was on average 730 euros. Which model would you recommend at these prices?
The same question can also be asked for the GEFORCE RTX 5070 TI and the Radeon RX 9070 XT. The former was offered strong in the last two days for an average of 1,100 euros, while at least half of the RX RX 9070 XT listed for less than 850 euros was listed.
Have you bought a new graphics card (Radeon)?
The market launch has just happened, given the overwhelming view of the article on the availability of Radeon RX 9070 (XT), it can nevertheless be assumed that many readers have already been concerned.
With the first graphics card innovations of the year just a few weeks away, the question can also be asked to what extent the community has hit the larger GeForce models.
If you want to buy a new graphics card, you will be informed about the computer base for selected dealers in real time about availability and prices:
Availability and prices: Here are AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 to buy availability and prices: Here you can buy GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 TI & 5070
