At $549, the RTX 5070 will also come up against AMD’s new $549 Radeon RX 9070 and $599 Radeon RX 9070 XT when they launch on March 6th. If AMD manages to beat Nvidia’s RTX 5070 or come close to the $749 RTX 5070 Ti, that’s going to put a lot of much-needed pressure on Nvidia’s pricing.

Nvidia may be bringing back one of its most iconic graphics cards of recent generations: the RTX 4090. Not to fix the poor availability of its newer RTX 50-series GPUs, though, but to offer AI developers an alternative option.

In comparison, the RTX 4090 still offers around a 32% gain over the RTX 5070, with big differences in DirectX 9 through DirectX 12, too. The RTX 5070 topped at 91 frames per second (fps) in DirectX 12, while the RTX 4090 reached 149 fps.
