AMD's RX 9070 XT is faster than Nvidia's RTX 5070 and it is currently at MSRP

This AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card is a great deal as it is at MSRP. It is ideal for 1440p gaming and beats Nvidia's RTX 5070.

We recently reviewed AMD's new FSR Redstone ray regeneration technology in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and found that the company has done a great job on it. You can check it out in detail in this dedicated article.

Redstone like FSR 4 requires an RX 9000 series card from the company and so if you want to experience it, now is a good time to pick one up. That is because the PowerColor Reaper variant of the Radeon RX 9070 XT is at its lowest price since it has dropped to its MSRP making it a very good deal (purchase link under the specs table down below).

The Reaper cooler uses a dual‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer.

The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below:
