This trick could allow you to upgrade an AMD RX 9070 GPU to be an RX 9070 XT for free, in theory – but I’d seriously advise against it

This trick could allow you to upgrade an AMD RX 9070 GPU to be an RX 9070 XT for free, in theory – but I’d seriously advise against it

Can an AMD RX 9070 GPU equal an RX 9070 XT? Yes, it sounds preposterous, but it’s (kind of) true – if these modders are to be believed.

Although the names and architectures have evolved, the Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 share at least two points in common with the RX Vega 64 and RX Vega 56. Like the latter, the RDNA 4 solutions are based on the same GPU — with eight additional computing units for the high-end model (64 CU versus 56 CU)...

Yes, we get a little bored on this Monday in the sun, so we use the capitals a lot, but all the same the information is detonating: RX 9070s with a Bios of RX 9070 XT would be able to exceed real RX 9070 XT! The oldest of us will dive melancholy into the holy years of the GPU, when we could buy medium-range at AMD or NVIDIA and flash it at the top of the range, actually it wasn't so easy, but it was sometimes possible...

H here clock, h here current consumption, better performance: A hobbyist has brought his RX 9070 to full speed with a foreign BIOS. The up-and-coming graphics card can even compete with XT reference models. A few disadvantages have the whole thing. (Read more)

If you have purchased a Radeon RX 9070, you are in congratulations, and it is that a modified BIOS has come to light that significantly increases its performance. Both Radeon RX 9070 and its older sister, Radeon RX 9070 XT, are based on the same graphics chip. With the difference that the NAVI 48 chip of the most advanced model has access to a larger core core. But if you care about the energy consumption, you can modify your RX 9070 to make it …

AMD Radeon RX 9070 Can be Flashed with RX 9070 XT BIOS to Increase Power Limits and Clocks

PC Games Hardware (PCGH) discovered that certain AMD Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards can be flashed with the video BIOS of RX 9070 XT of a comparable board design, to achieve higher clock speeds and power limits. While the flash won't unlock any new shaders—you're still limited to 56 CU or 3,584 stream processors—it gives the RX 9070 increased power limits and clock speeds of the faster SKU. More importantly, the flashed RX 9070 was found to offer…
