## Verdict

Ranked honestly: on pure raster it beats everything below it on this list, but as a purchase today it is a last-gen card with no FSR 4 at a near-9070-XT price. Buy the RX 9070 XT.

## For

- Still posts big rasterization numbers
- 24GB of VRAM
- Charts like Logical Increments' still rank it high on raw performance

## Against

- Last-gen RDNA 3 with no FSR 4
- Weaker ray tracing than cards below it in price
- Street pricing has stayed stubbornly close to the faster, more efficient RX 9070 XT
- Outlets have largely dropped it from current buying guides

## Flagged as one to avoid

This product entered 1 of 2 runs as one buyers cross-shop but should not buy, rather than as a pick. It is published here rather than dropped.

## What this tier means

- F: Avoid. The evidence points you elsewhere.

## How to read this

- Each category is researched in four independent runs, one per lens (expert consensus, value, reliability, community pulse). Every run ranks a board of candidates that deliberately includes products buyers cross-shop but should avoid. Placements score on a ranked ladder (LP), and tiers are derived from LP, so no tier is ever assigned by hand.
- LP is this product's points on its own category ladder. It is comparable within a category and not across categories.
- Link status reports what our pre-publication link check found when it fetched the cited URL. It says nothing about the quality of the review.
- A citation with no usable link is listed rather than dropped, and is excluded from the counted total above.
