Why it made the list

• Its listing names a Radeon RX 9070 with 56 compute units, 3,584 stream processors and 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, and says it is built for 1440p and 4K gaming.
• PC Gamer’s list names the RX 9070 its best overall graphics card and says it comfortably beats the RTX 5070.
• It is a triple-fan card with a 0dB silent mode, per its listing.

Drawbacks

• Its listing names two 8-pin power connectors and a recommended 700W supply, so check your supply first.
• It is a 2.5-slot card 290 mm long, so check your case.
• Its listing gives a 2-year manufacturer warranty, where three of our other picks list 3 years.

Watch for this: Amazon’s variant menu for this card lists six listings, one of them an ASRock Radeon RX 9060 XT. Check that the title says RX 9070.

Skip it if you want NVIDIA’s DLSS. The ASUS Dual RTX 5060 and the PNY RTX 5070 Epic-X have it.

Why it made the list

• Its listing names NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture with DLSS 4 and 623 AI TOPS.
• It is a two-fan, 2.5-slot card about 9 inches long, with a fan design its listing describes as having longer blades and a barrier ring.
• Wirecutter lists the RTX 5060 among its other picks as a great option for gamers on a budget at 1080p and 1440p.

Drawbacks

• It has 8 GB of video memory, which Tom’s Hardware calls the bare minimum for the latest games at 1080p.
• Wirecutter says the RTX 5060 is usually somewhat slower than its top pick.
• The listing text we read names no recommended power supply.

Watch for this: This listing’s variant menu holds nine listings, including the ASUS Prime and ASUS TUF versions of the RTX 5060, which also show up as separate search results. Check that the title says Dual.

Skip it if you play above 1080p. The ASRock RX 9070 Challenger has twice the video memory.

Why it made the list

• It has WINDFORCE cooling with three fans and a 3-year manufacturer warranty, per its listing.

Drawbacks

• Tom’s Hardware says the step up from the RTX 5070 Ti only makes sense if you accept nothing short of the fastest card below the RTX 5090 at 4K.

• Tom’s Hardware says NVIDIA’s DLSS is in practically every new game.

Drawbacks
