The new Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics cards, released by AMD two days ago, demonstrated decent results in comparison with Nvidia’s RTX 50 series graphics cards. In terms of performance, the RX 9070 series showed itself to be quite satisfactory, writes Wccftech, especially favorably distinguished by its price and availability, at least on the day of the start of sales.
For those who failed to purchase a video card on the first day, there is a chance to get it absolutely free. AMD has announced a giveaway that will last only six days. Senior Vice President and General Manager of AMD’s Computing and Graphics Division, Jack Huynh, announced the giveaway on the X social network, which has already started.
The event is a kind of gratitude for the contribution to the development of the AMD community. Among the five RX 9070 XT graphics cards, two will be personally signed by Lisa Su. The giveaway will be held on the Gleam platform, and only residents of the United States and Canada can participate. It is not yet known whether the graphics cards to be given away will be presented only in the reference design or will also include custom versions from AMD AIB partners.
To participate, you must be over 18 years old and provide your real name, address and phone number for delivery. If you win, you may be required to pay VAT or import tax. In addition, after the results are announced, winners will have to wait approximately four weeks for the graphics card to be delivered to their address.
As a reminder, the Radeon RX 9070 XT features the NAVI 48 GPU and offers 4,096 stream processors (SPS), 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM, a 256-bit memory bus, and a boost frequency of up to 3.1 GHz on premium versions. This graphics card is slightly inferior to the RTX 5070 Ti in terms of performance, but it also costs $150 less, while offering significantly better value for money.
