About the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q1 2025 with a MSRP of $549. It is built on the RDNA 4.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 48) and is manufactured on a 4 nm process.

Memory

The RX 9070 has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,518 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 644.6 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RX 9070 includes 3,584 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,330 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,520 MHz. It usually operates at 2,070 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 224 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 128 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 112 AI accelerators optimized for AI workloads and 56 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RX 9070 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1b, DisplayPort 2.1a display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 550 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 220 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RX 9070 has the 5th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 68.29% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 88,618 score and $549 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 161.42. This is the 2nd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the Intel HD Graphics (Broadwell) GPU

The HD Graphics (Broadwell) is an graphics card by Intel. It is built on the Generation 8.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Broadwell GT1) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.
