This graphics card preforms very good it stays very cool it stays around 60 degrees under load the fsr 4 upscaler is a big improvement and Ray tracing performance is improved allot over the previous generation definitely worth the price tag Read more

The Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 XT is a fantastic card. RDNA 4 brings great performance gains, and with 16GB of GDDR6, it handles 1440p and even 4K gaming without breaking a sweat. It runs cool and quiet thanks to Sapphire’s efficient cooling design, and it looks sleek in any build. I’ve had zero issues with drivers or temps, and the performance-per-dollar is hard to beat. Whether you're gaming or doing creative work, this card delivers big. Highly recommended for any serious setup. Read more

Had this card for over four months now, it has been really solid. I use it a lot more than my RTX 4070 Ti Super. First AMD GPU that stayed, had a bad 6800XT a number of years ago, maybe it was from a bad batch, Powercolor. I've really enjoyed this card a lot. I thought about getting an Asus card but I wanted something different and something that felt pure Radeon, have enough Asus stuff already. They say Sapphire is the EVGA of Radeon cards, seems really solid to me, locked at 120 FPS doesn't exceed 56C gaming for long hours, mem hits 77C max at 120FPS, around 180FPS some games for prolonged periods of gaming it can hit 64C one the chip and rarely briefly 92C mem temp, to be expected with all brands and models of RX 9070 XT's. To be honest the quietest and smoothest running GPU I've ever owned. Overall picture output seems better than NVIDIA. Love my Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX 9070 XT. Hopefully it lasts a very long time, it's awesome. AMD Radeon is way underrated and underappreciated. I wanted to wait until I put some serious gaming exposure to this card before I wrote a review. I payed a lot above MSRP but I wanted the card really really bad, I bought it a day after launch. I kind of knew AMD was going to have a hit on their hands and they did. If you are short of cash, of coarse wait for a good deal. I didn't mind paying what I paid for it too too much, my RTX 4070 Ti Super wasn't too much cheaper at the end of it's generation. All these cards, the 7900XTX, 7900XT, 9070 series, RTX 4070 Ti and above from NVIDIA are all really in the same performance ballpark. If you are tired of NVIDIA and want something different, choose Radeon, really great stuff. Read more

I'm a rare type of gamer apparently. I enjoy full immersion and I have a very widescreen monitor that is 5120 x 1440 native. I wanted a card that could push all those pixels at Ultra settings. This card delivers. All my AAA games run flawless and are never below 60 FPS even with the quality maxxed out. RDR2 looks real. The older games even at Ultra run over 120 fps all the time. I have had no compatibility issues with any games. AMD has done a great job with this card. I am not loyal to any brand and am probably 50-50 between Nvidia and AMD cards over many years. This one has zero drawbacks. As far as temperatures, I've never had it report anything higher than upper 70s. As with any card, go into the software and adjust the fan curves. Even at 100% the fans are not overbearing. I remember the "dustbuster" days, so maybe I'm more tolerant than others, but it is definitely not an annoying amount of noise coming from this card. 16GB is more than enough RAM for any game I have. I highly recommend this card. Read more

Incredible. Using it to push 240fps at 4k resolution. Took some tuning to get it to hit 200+fps AFMF works extremely well and FSR4 is great. However, many games I do not even need to enable these settings to hit 200+FPS at 4k. Also runs quiet and cool! I have it paired with a 5800X3D CPU. Read more

I recently purchased the Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, and I’ll admit I was initially concerned about whether the card was real, given some online reviews about counterfeit GPUs. However, once the card arrived, I verified the serial number with Sapphire’s support, and everything checked out—it’s 100% authentic, and the build quality feels solid. I installed the card in my system: an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor, 128GB RAM, running Arch Linux with ROCm 6.3.3 for GPU compute support. Setting up the drivers and ROCm took some troubleshooting (mostly due to RDNA 4 being new as of March 2025), but once configured, I ran extensive tests to evaluate its performance. For rendering, I used Blender 4.4.0 with HIP enabled. The BMW27 benchmark scene rendered in just 15.55 seconds, a massive improvement over the 88.29 seconds it took on my CPU alone—a 5.68x speedup! During the render, radeontop showed 99.17% GPU usage, ~3.2GB VRAM usage, and shader clocks hitting 3316 MHz (exceeding the advertised 2970 MHz boost, though memory clock reporting seemed off at 1226 MHz). I also ran Unigine (427-432 FPS) and glmark2 (~16,000-18,000), both confirming the card’s strong performance for gaming and graphics workloads. Overall, the RX 9070 XT delivers on AMD’s promises for 1440p gaming and compute tasks. It’s a powerhouse for rendering, gaming, and potentially AI/ML workloads (with 128 AI accelerators), though initial driver support for RDNA 4 on Linux required some effort. Sapphire’s build is reliable, and the card runs cool and quiet under load. My only concern was the setup process, but once resolved, it’s been a fantastic upgrade. Highly recommend for Linux users willing to tweak a bit—5 stars! Read more

Very quiet graphics card. I was going to do an all noctua build in the fractal North case but the Asus noctua 5080 but according to PC parts pickers it was to long to fit in my case. So, I decided to switch to team red. I am very happy with the performance of the 9070xt and Sapphire made a very quiet sleek looking card for an affordable price saving myself about $1,000. This card is also a bit on the long end and if you are running a front mounted AIO it might have some clearance issues. Read more
