Leaked benchmarks of the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT have emerged online. Its non-XT counterpart fared well in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, but that is to be expected because that game usually runs better on AMD hardware. While the actual screenshots have been deleted off Chiphell, an X user managed to preserve it. In synthetic tests, it performs surprisingly well and exceeds the expectations set by earlier leaks.
In 3D Mark Time Spy Extreme, the Radeon RX 9070 scores 14,588 points in graphics. That sits between the GeForce RTX 4080 Super and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX. In 3D Mark Speedway, it scores 6,345 points, which is, once again, in the ballpark of the last-gen RDNA 3 flagship. Unfortunately, this proves the Radeon RX 9070 still lags behind Nvidia in ray tracing performance because performs on par with a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super.
At full load, the Radeon RX 9070 XT draws about 379 Watts of power. This is well within expectations, but AMD's main issue has been idle power draws. The leaker adds these performance figures are not final and will only get better with newer drivers. Historically, AMD GPUs have always got better with time, and while the Radeon RX 9070 XT might not be an RTX 4090 killer, it should offer RTX 4080 Super performance at half the price.
