AMD graphics cards have long enjoyed a reputation for being "future-proof," with their performance steadily enhanced through successive driver updates. Based on the most recent testing conducted by Hardware Unboxed, the Radeon RX 9070, benefiting from the latest drivers and game patches, has notably widened its performance lead over its competitor, the RTX 5070. In particular, the RX 9070 demonstrated performance gains of over 10% in multiple games at 1440P resolution. In some specific game titles, the frame rate improvements soared to as high as 27%. In contrast, the RTX 5070 exhibited only relatively modest enhancements. When it comes to pricing, the RX 9070 offers a competitive advantage, being priced at around $549. Meanwhile, the RTX 5070 has a suggested retail price starting at $549, and the RTX 5070 Ti can go up to as much as $749. Thus, for users on a tight budget who are looking for a cost-effective option, the RX 9070 emerges as the superior choice.
