I'm putting together my first PC with a 9600x processor and I've been looking at either the 9070 or 9070XT graphics cards. My main focus is on playing Dota 2, but I'd like to try out AAA games like Wukong as well. I've seen some mixed feedback about the 9070 regarding its performance with Dota 2 and I'm curious if anyone here has similar setups that could share their experiences. Were there any compatibility issues or did everything run smoothly?

The 9070XT will handle Dota 2 effortlessly and can even manage AAA games with ease. Just a heads-up, it's not the best for ray tracing, but if you're not worried about that, you should be set!
Honestly, your microwave could run Dota 2! But seriously, the 9070XT is a fantastic option if you want to play higher-end games too. You're definitely good to go with that card.
I get that, but I've read about some users having low FPS issues. Is that something to look out for?
In terms of performance, the 9070XT is more than capable of handling Dota 2 without any issues. It should also run Wukong and other AAA titles quite well. Just to put your mind at ease, I've noticed that some folks raise concerns about instability, but overall, most players seem to love it. You shouldn't have any significant problems!
That's good to hear! Just wanted to confirm because I've seen a few reports, but it sounds like a solid choice.
For benchmarks, you'll find that the 9070 isn't as well-documented, especially with Dota. However, I have the 5700XT and can play Dota 2 on ultra-wide 1440p at over 120 FPS on max settings. Since the 9070XT has nearly triple the performance, you should be just fine!
That's impressive! So it sounds like the performance is solid across the board.
Interesting! I'm not too concerned about ray tracing, so it sounds like a win.
