The RX 9070 GRE 12GB has faced a lot of criticism since launch. But we wanted to reevaluate it from a fresh perspective including CPU scaling because alternatives like the RX 9070, RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 Ti are very different prices in some regions. Does this make the RX 9070 GRE a good deal or should you look at a different GPU? We answer that question for as a drop in upgrade for an existing AM4 system and in a brand new gaming PC with a 9800X3D.
