Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 PURE (11349-02-20G)

Radeon RX 9070 is a powerful graphics card from the upper middle price segment, built on the RDNA 4 architecture (2025 model). This model follows AMD's efforts to optimize the "price-performance" ratio, which became particularly significant after the release of the extremely expensive professional graphics cards like GeForce RTX 4090 and RTX 5090. The graphics card primarily targets gamers playing at 1440p resolution who seek decent frame rates without excessive spending, but it is also suitable for users working with content and AI tools — although in this area it still lags behind NVIDIA solutions.

It can be considered for 4K gaming; however, in many intensive games like Black Myth: Wukong and Hellblade 2, the framerate can be unstable, requiring users to lower graphics settings and use FSR 4. This is AMD’s counterpart to NVIDIA DLSS, featuring an intelligent upscaler and frame generation system. In terms of competition, the RX 9070 is positioned between GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti.

In most tests, the new AMD release proves to be faster than the RTX 5070 — with an average advantage ranging from 10 to 20%, especially noticeable at high resolutions. This particular RX 9070 modification belongs to the Sapphire PURE 2025 lineup, standing out due to its quality cooling system with three fans, heat pipes, and an additional cooling module. Another distinctive feature is its fully white casing with a neatly illuminated logo. Key highlights include its impressive price-performance ratio, faster speed compared to RTX 5070, and the elegant design and advanced cooling system of the Sapphire PURE edition.
