Is the Radeon RX 9070 XT Really Faster Than the RTX 5090?
Is the Radeon RX 9070 XT really faster than the GeForce RTX 5090? It's a strange question, we know, but it's one we've been asked quite consistently for a while, so we figured it was time to address it.
Now, you might be thinking that's a pretty dumb question. Why would anyone ask it, and why are we even entertaining the idea? Well, hear us out. Sometimes the RX 9070 XT actually is faster than the RTX 5090, but that doesn't mean it's really the faster GPU. It depends on the circumstances, and as we'll explain, things can get a little complicated.
Understanding Driver Overhead and CPU Bottlenecks
About five years ago, we investigated an issuethat saw Radeon GPUs performing up to 30% faster, and sometimes even more, in CPU-limited gaming scenarios. This primarily affected lower-end processors, which were more likely to encounter CPU bottlenecks when gaming. As...
