Radeon 9070 XT: much better Ray Tracing performance vs 7900 series but still far behind Nvidia
The ray tracing performance of the 9070 XT has made great progress. This is a 4K benchmark, so it's obviously very demanding, but at 1440p (with some upscaling) the average RT performance is around 70 FPS, making it actually playable now.
I know many people don’t care about ray tracing, especially at this price tier, and that’s fine. But the fact that RT is now viable in the mid-to-high-end range is useful, especially as ray tracing is becoming a standard feature in most games.
