The Radeon RX 9070 XT significantly outperforms the Radeon RX 7900 GRE at 4K resolutions. According to AMD's official benchmarks, the RX 9070 XT is approximately 42% faster than the RX 7900 GRE at 4K across a variety of games[1][3][4]. This performance gap is even more pronounced in games that heavily utilize ray tracing, where the RX 9070 XT can be up to 66% faster compared to the RX 7900 GRE[1][4]. The substantial improvement is attributed to the RDNA 4 architecture, which includes enhanced ray accelerators and AI accelerators, providing significant boosts in ray-tracing performance[2][4].
In specific titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and F1 24, the RX 9070 XT demonstrates remarkable performance gains. For example, in Cyberpunk 2077 with the RT Ultra preset, the RX 9070 XT is 66% faster at 4K compared to the RX 7900 GRE[1][4]. Similarly, in F1 24, the RX 9070 XT shows a 66% improvement with ray tracing enabled at 4K[1]. These figures highlight the RX 9070 XT's strong position as a mid-range competitor, offering 4K gaming capabilities at competitive pricing[2][3].
Overall, the Radeon RX 9070 XT's performance at 4K is not only superior to the RX 7900 GRE but also competitive with higher-end GPUs like the GeForce RTX 3090, making it a compelling option for those seeking strong 4K gaming performance without the premium price tag of flagship models[1][2].
