Here we present a range of AI and productivity benchmarks, designed to offer insight into the sort of workloads that might be undertaken by someone purchasing this calibre of GPU.

We start with the Stable Diffusion 1.5 benchmark, and this shows competitive performance between the 9070 XT and the 5070 Ti, with a mere 50 points separating the two.

However, there's a wider gap in the Stable Diffusion XL test, though the 9070 XT is only 7% behind the 5070 Ti.

Text generation is more of a struggle for RDNA 4, this time lagging well behind the RTX 5070 Ti. The exact margin depends on which model you choose, but for Llama 3.1 performance the 9070 XT is almost 50% slower.

Lastly, Geekbench AI Pro shows some mixed results. For single precision, RDNA 4 is high competitive – but so was the 7900 XTX. Half precision sees the 9070 XT fall 11% behind the 5070 Ti, while the quantized metric gives it a healthy 22% lead.
