Gaming rasterization performance 1440p - 2160p:
Let’s get on with the gaming tests. We’ve used all the graphics cards we felt would be interesting to compare with this ASUS TUF Gaming RX 9070 OC in 1440p definition. In the coming weeks, we’ll be bringing you a new type of article, retesting graphics cards from previous generations to find out what they’re still worth in 2025. Our games panel currently consists of 13 titles, and will be expanded in the coming weeks.
We have chosen to use the built-in benchmarks of these games.
Why do we do this? Quite simply to enable you to compare your results with ours if you also own a copy of one of these games. It’s a thought-provoking idea, and one that will enable you to compare your results with ours. The number and titles selected have changed slightly, and will increase again in the coming weeks as we get our hands on new games.
What is rasterization?
A quick word about “rasterization”, which is currently the subject of much discussion. Rasterization is the evaluation of the performance of our graphics cards without the use of upscaling technologies . We choose a graphics quality, often the highest, and test it. The advantage of these tests is that we can quantify the gains made by the architecture between different generations. In our case, this means being able to judge the gains obtained between the architecture of the new RTX 5000 (Blackwell) and this AMD RX 9070 series.
Borderlands 3 :
It’s time for the gaming section, starting with Borderlands 3. And it’s off to a good start for the RX 9070 series. Our ASUS TUF Gaming RX 9070 OC is in third place, behind the RTX 5070 Ti and well ahead of the RTX 5070 in 1440p. In 2160p, it struggles to do as well as the RX 7900 XT.
Cyberpunk 2077:
The same applies to Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p. In 2160p, our ASUS TUF Gaming RX 9070 OC this time takes the lead over the RX 7900 XT.
COD Modern Warfare III:
We’re not really changing the shape of our graphics, but for the first time, our two RX 9070s are out in front. The game is more to the advantage of the AMD cards, since in 2160p, the ASUS TUF Gaming RX 9070 OC allows itself to do better than the RTX 4080 Super.
Forspoken:
Forspoken is a fairly demanding game, and our ASUS TUF Gaming RX 9070 OC achieves an average of 86 FPS compared with 74 FPS for the RTX 5070 FE. In 2160p, it’s still just ahead of the RX 7900 XT.
Horizon Zeron Dawn Remastered:
One of the new games we’ve added to our comparison, and once again, in 1440p, it’s our two latest-generation AMD cards that take the top two places. In 2160p, the ASUS TUF Gaming RX 9070 OC is close to the performance of the RTX 4080.
Shadow Of The Tomb Raider:
Shadow Of The Tomb Raider easily passes the 200 FPS mark at 1440p. Things get more complicated at 2160p, where our ASUS TUF Gaming RX 9070 OC finds itself at the bottom of the ranking.
Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool :
This new game also seems to consume a lot of power, but the top three remain unchanged. In 2160p, it’s the reds that lag behind the NVIDIA cards.
Far Cry 6:
Performance is to the advantage of Far Cry 6 reds. At 1440p, we’re well ahead, and at 2160p, performance remains excellent.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage:
Well, you’re beginning to understand the song for 1440p definition. As our tests progress, we can easily imagine that the ASUS TUF Gaming RX 9070 OC should be a match for the RX 7900 XT.
Red Dead Redemption II:
Under Red Dead Redemption II, no changes in 1440p and similar performance for our TUF in 2160p.
F1 2024 :
Our sample of the day struggles a little more in 1440p, dropping to fourth place, but makes up for it in 2160p.
Monster Hunter Wilds:
We’ve added a new benchmark for this ASUS TUF Gaming RX 9070 OC. The appearance of the two graphics remains unchanged.
Alan Wake 2:
The last game, Alan Wake 2, won’t disrupt the order of our graph, and represents the performance we’d expect from the average of our 13 games.
Average of 13 games in 1440p rasterization :
Let’s start with 1440p performance, where we’ve chosen the RTX 5070 FE as our reference model. We’ve therefore calculated the gains based on this model. In rasterization, our ASUS TUF Gaming RX 9070 OC performs 17% better, for an identical MSRP of $549. We don’t yet know how much this TUF model will cost. On the other hand, it’s only 4% behind the RTX 5070 Ti, which has an MSRP of $749. Finally, the RX 7900 GRE is almost 20% behind.
In 2160p, we used the RTX 5070 Ti as our reference. Here, our ASUS TUF Gaming RX 9070 OC does almost as well as the RX 7900 XT, whose MSRP was $899 at launch, and still lags behind the RTX 5070 Ti.
