I got this card when I had prime (which got me a slight discount). Right now with GPU prices not going down too much so I picked this up. I upgrade from a 2070 Super and it plays the games I care about and this card has good raster performance. Granted this card will now be able to use FSR4 and have better Raytracing (but still doesn't compare to the NVIDIA cards). I also got this card given how shady NVIDIA has been lately with its 5000 series cards. It preforms much better than my old card. Make sure you do setup a proper fan curve in the AMD Adrenaline software and find a good guide to tune the card as the power draw and heat an get high. That and tuning the card correctly will get you pretty good performance with lower temps and fan noise (especially if you're really susceptible to fan noise). Although I said to tune the fan curve, the fan is not too bad at all (I barely hear it over my radiator fans). I currently run this card on the performance mode. Finally, the card is pretty small compared to the the other cards around this generation. So much so, you won't need to buy a GPU brace if you have reinforced PCI-Slots and the extra support with the expansion card bracket. If you want good performance with rasterized graphics this is the card for you. If you want better raytracing, I wouldn't really pick this card up (it's better but not great that's for sure).

Awesome gpu I can rest easy knowing I can play whatever game I want on max settings at 1080p and get a solid 4k experience in most titles. The temps and performance on this thing are great! I could not ask for a better gpu. Read more
Unlike Nvidia cards this just works. Wish it came with brackets since it does has 2 screw holes on the side meant for bracket support. But installation was easy. Tested the following games: - Arc Raiders at max settings, native - 120fps - Sons of Forest, max settings, native - 120fps - Hellblade 2, max settings, native - 60fps But most importantly it's stable, no crashes, no flickers or black screens. Temps are good. I had a 5070ti before this and it put me through hell. The 9070xt is not that far off from the 5070ti in performance but for being $200 cheaper at the time of writing this and having FAR superior driver support this card is a no brainer. AMD is catching up quick. Only drawback is lack of clear instructions on wether 2 PCIe cables will suffice or needs 3. I am using 2 separate 6+2 pin PCIe cables, one of them is daisy chained into two. So I was able to connect all 3 ports and despite loads of conflicting information online this has worked fine for me so far under heavy loads. I would check to make sure your PSU came with enough cables before installing. Read more
- The 9070 XT has been a great card so far, offering great rasterization performance and upscaling with FSR4. RT performance is much better than my 6800, but it's just not that important to me. The card has been very stable thus far - I am not doing any major OCing or undervolting. I play @ 1440p max settings in most titles, and it handles it without a sweat. - GPU Temperature hangs around 50-60°C, and Hot Spot around 70°C when gaming. - The size is one of the best aspects; it's 288mm long, and takes up ~3 slots, which makes it a lot easier to fit into smaller cases. Big difference from the 340mm card I was coming from. - Major downside is that the default fan curve is insanely loud. I do not consider myself to be sensitive to loud systems, but I recommend tweaking the curve in Adrenaline. *If you download and open the Gigabyte software to change the RGB light bar color, it will reset the fan curve* - So, I just set it to white and forget about it. - Overall, I am happy with this card - I obtained this one at launch for the retail price, and would not have spent more on it.

I do believe this is one of the smallest if not the smallest non water cooled 9070 xt. It was also the only 9070 xt that would fit in my build without modifications. Honestly the card itself is a pretty hard hitter for most games. But every now and then there is a game that just microstutters no matter how much you tweak the software. For the price you are definitely getting a more than good enough gpu for gaming Read more
Pc sounds like a jet engine taking off, but I managed to change fan curve to make it quite, if you want good 1440p gaming machine r5 7600x and rx 9070 xt pair well with each other I can play cyberpunk 2077 on ultra settings and pull 90-120fps maybe could be more, with no ray tracing or path tracing, with ray tracing ultra it pull 60fps, with path tracing 20-30fps not very impressive but it’s pretty good, graphics looks nice it’s a gaming pc beast for 1440p not the highest end but it’s good the last of us part two runs good at 60fps all very high. Fornite runs good maxed out fps unknown god of war 2018 runs good ultra 60fps, overclock and undervolt gpu I’d recommend it, the card runs good for what it does glad I pick it up for while it’s still 700+ pricing could be good but dram shortage sadly, I think that’s all for this review I have other reviews to make.
