AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT receives scathing criticism on Userbenchmark

The long disgraced benchmarking website Userbenchmark, notorious for its anti-AMD bias, has once again reared its ugly head, this time, with a scathing rant against the Radeon RX 9070 XT. It starts off by saying only people, "influenced by Reddit, Twitter or a wealthy tech YouTuber" buy an AMD graphics card.

However, if recent stock situation is anything to go by, the Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 sold more than all Nvidia Blackwell cards launched so far. While some markets have undoubtedly received more inventory than others, demand has primarily been driven by their impressive price-to-performance ratio. Our in-depth Radeon RX 9070 XT review agrees with the sentiment.

Userbenchmark concludes its incoherent drivel by stating "actual gamers" buy Nvidia GPUs because their AMD counterparts suffer from "stutters, random crashes, black screens, excessive noise and a limited feature set". Ironically, most of these issues have plagued GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs at launch, and, to make matters worse, some higher-end SKUs are potential fire hazards. And then there's the issue of missing ROPs, something that has not been observed on AMD GPUs so far.
