The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is expected to perform significantly well with DaVinci Resolve's Magic Mask Tracking Tool, leveraging its enhanced AI capabilities and GPU architecture. According to AMD, the RX 9070 XT is 34% faster than the RX 7900 GRE when using DaVinci Resolve's Magic Mask Tracking Tool, which is a substantial improvement for content creators who rely on such tools for video editing and color grading tasks[1][5].
Magic Mask in DaVinci Resolve is a powerful tool that simplifies complex tracking tasks by using intuitive paint strokes, allowing users to isolate objects or individuals within compositions with precise control over adjustments[4]. This tool is powered by a neural engine, which enhances tracking capabilities and makes editing tasks easier[4].
The RX 9070 XT's performance boost is attributed to its second-generation AI accelerators, which provide significant gains for machine learning workloads, including those used in content creation software like DaVinci Resolve[2]. However, while the RX 9070 XT offers improved performance in AI-driven tasks, it's worth noting that its memory bandwidth might be a limiting factor in certain memory-bound workloads compared to higher-end models like the RX 7900 XT or XTX[2].
Overall, the RX 9070 XT is well-suited for users who need enhanced performance in creative applications, including video editing with tools like Magic Mask in DaVinci Resolve. Its ability to handle demanding AI tasks efficiently makes it a strong contender in the mid-range GPU market, especially for those focusing on content creation and AI-driven workflows.
