AMD Radeon RX 9070 benchmarked in Call of Duty, could be a match for Nvidia's RTX 4080 Super

Something to look guardant to: AMD's paper motorboat of Radeon RX 9070 GPUs astatine CES was disappointingly ray connected details. However, an unsanctioned benchmark for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 provides a little glimpse into nan capacity of nan vanilla 9070 graphics paper model. Granted, we counsel everyone to hold for elaborate reviews and nan cards' afloat merchandise earlier drafting immoderate benignant of conclusion.

IGN comberan a chance to benchmark AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 9070 GPU successful Call of Duty Black Ops 6 by discreetly moving nan trial connected a strategy equipped pinch nan GPU astatine nan CES show floor. Although nan results look akin to Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4080 Super, like-for-like comparisons successful much games will supply a clearer image erstwhile clip comes.

The RX 9070 averaged 99fps successful autochthonal 4K successful Black Ops 6's in-game benchmark instrumentality utilizing alpha drivers. For comparison, nan RTX 4080 Super tin scope astir 129fps successful 4K successful DLSS value mode, which upscales nan crippled from 2560 x 1440 resolution. Based connected early this data, nan results look promising for Team Red.

Although AMD has not disclosed elaborate specifications for nan RX 9000 series, nan company's caller naming strategy suggests these cards are positioned to compete pinch Nvidia's upcoming RTX 5070. Preliminary accusation indicates that nan RTX 5070 mightiness somewhat outperform nan existent RTX 4070 Super.

Although AMD has yet to disclose elaborate specifications for nan RX 9000 series, nan company's caller naming strategy implies they are positioned to compete pinch Nvidia's upcoming RTX 5070. Preliminary accusation indicates that the RTX 5070 might somewhat outperform nan existent RTX 4070 Super.

If insubstantial napkin mathematics aligns AMD's competing merchandise pinch nan 4080 Super, a superior conflict could ensue this twelvemonth successful nan mid-range sector, wherever nan astir celebrated GPUs reside. However, different factors lurk successful nan background.

First, Black Ops 6 is kinder to AMD cards than different modern gaming titles. Second, nan CES RX 9070 benchmark was conducted utilizing AMD's caller Ryzen 9950X3D CPU, which has not been wide tested alongside Nvidia GPUs.

Third, nan crippled doesn't usage ray tracing, truthful AMD's claims of important RT capacity improvements stay untested. Upcoming reviews should besides uncover really nan company's caller AI-based FSR4 upscaling exertion compares to Nvidia DLSS and Intel XeSS. It is wholly imaginable that nan upcoming Radeon GPUs will execute exceptionally good successful rasterization against nan RTX 50 bid GPUs. However, Nvidia will apt support an advantage successful upscaling support, peculiarly if DLSS 4's transition to transformer-based models enhances graphics quality, arsenic immoderate early previews suggest.

Pricing is astir apt nan astir important perincian regarding nan RX 9070 that has not been undisclosed either. With 16 GB of VRAM, it could summation an advantage complete Nvidia's mid-range offerings, depending connected really AMD counters nan RTX 5070's fierce $549 value tag.

AMD has besides yet to corroborate nan merchandise dates for nan RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT, only committing to a Q1 2025 motorboat window. However, a leak from B&H suggests that pre-orders whitethorn unfastened connected January 23. Meanwhile, Nvidia's RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 are group to statesman shipping connected January 30, followed by nan RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti successful February.
