RX 9070 Transformed Into RX 9070 XT With Custom BIOS Mod

Expert Verified By

RX 9070 Unleashes Full Potential Following BIOS Mod!

Story Highlight
  • The Radeon RX 9070 is clocked much lower than its XT counterpart and comes with over 500 fewer cores.
  • Flashing the GPU with the RX 9070 XT’s BIOS can bridge the performance gap between these two graphics cards.
  • The BIOS mod can lead to some unexpected behaviors, but initial results have been encouraging.

AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 XT earned the company plenty of praise not too long ago. Deemed a solid option for its MSRP, this GPU competed with Nvidia’s offerings while being available at a lower price.

However, AMD also released a slightly cheaper RX 9070. This graphics card had much fewer cores than the XT variant, but a new BIOS mod allows it to match the RX 9070 XT in gaming performance and even exceed it in certain cases.

Why it matters: This mod highlights an instance of PC gaming’s freedom, signifying how modding and tinkering with hardware can often allow it to push beyond preset limits.

This information comes via PCGamesHardware forum user Gurdi, who flashed his RX 9070 with Asus Prime RX 9070 XT’s BIOS. This BIOS mod helped the card boost up to 3030MHz while running at a 317W TGP, resulting in significant performance gains.

Despite the difference of 3584 cores against the RX 9070 XT’s 4096 cores, the graphics card managed to outperform its more capable counterpart in synthetic tests like 3DMark, achieving a score of 7,183 in Steel Nomad.

The user also reported that gaming performance has been better than that of a stock RX 9070 XT, but the Bios mod has caused problems like crashing and freezing on the desktop.

Both graphics cards are quite capable of running the latest games on their own, but it seems AMD left a lot of performance on the table, especially in the RX 9070’s case. Using the RX 9070 XT’s BIOS unlocks that performance, although such mods are not easy to achieve for those without experience.

However, for those still interested in carrying out a similar experiment with their own GPUs, this particular BIOS version can be easily found online.
