The Asus Prime Radeon RX 9070 can now emulate the performance characteristics of the Asus Prime Radeon RX 9070 XT after a BIOS flash. This upgrade allows the RX 9070 to achieve clock speeds of up to 3.1 GHz, an increase from the original 2.6 GHz, and raises the Total Graphics Power (TGP) from 220 watts to 317 watts. The modification was successfully executed by a community member named Gurdi, who used a vBIOS from TechPowerUp. Despite the inability to reactivate eight disabled compute units and 512 streaming processors, the upgrade has led to performance metrics that can surpass stock RX 9070 XTs under certain conditions. Initial benchmarks indicate promising results, and Gurdi has shared stable gaming settings that are effective against reference RX 9070 XT models. Minor stability issues remain, particularly during idle states, likely due to the increased core clock speeds.
