AMD Radeon RX 9070 vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison challenge. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 has a full set of ten benchmark scores in the database, while the Lisuan Tech LX MAX has no recorded benchmark results. The head-to-head benchmark field is empty, and both win counters sit at zero. This means any direct numeric comparison must rely exclusively on the RX 9070's measured performance and the LX MAX's architectural specifications.

The RX 9070 achieves an average benchmark score of 23,877 across its ten tests. Its percentile ranking against all GPUs is 69, placing it above the median but not at the top tier. The nearest rivals in the database provide useful context for this score. The AMD Radeon RX 6800S averages 24,063, which is 0.8% higher than the RX 9070. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER averages 24,170, 1.2% higher. Conversely, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z averages 23,736, which is 0.6% lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile averages 23,628, 1.1% lower. The RX 9070 sits in a tight cluster where the spread between the lowest and highest nearby rivals is only about 2.3%.

Within its own benchmark suite, the RX 9070 shows notable variation. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test records a score of 6,290. Geekbench OpenCL produces 131,539, a far larger number due to the different scale of that workload. Geekbench Vulkan yields 58,705. Passmark G3D gives 25,381, while Passmark G2D gives 1,280. The Passmark GPU Compute score is 14,737. Legacy DirectX tests show lower figures: DirectX 10 scores 141, DirectX 11 scores 281, DirectX 12 scores 74, and DirectX 9 scores 343. These legacy scores are not directly comparable to the modern tests, but they confirm the card handles older APIs with less emphasis.

The LX MAX cannot be scored in the same way because the database contains no entries for it. Its average benchmark score is listed as zero, and its percentile is 50. Without measured results, the only path to analysis is comparing the physical and architectural specifications of the two cards, then reasoning about what those differences imply for performance.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear but incomplete picture. The RX 9070 is a measured product with documented performance, a 69th percentile ranking, and a set of nearby rivals within roughly 1.2% of its average score. The LX MAX has no measured performance, so it cannot be placed on the same scale. Any choice between them based on the database must rely on specifications alone.

For users who prioritize established performance data, the RX 9070 is the only option with recorded results. Its 16 GB memory capacity, 644.6 GB/s bandwidth, and 36.13 TFLOPS FP32 throughput are concrete figures. Its 4 nm process node and 53,900 million transistors on a 357 mm² die indicate a dense, modern design.

For users who prioritize raw shading unit count or FP16 throughput, the LX MAX presents a different specification sheet. Its 6,144 shading units exceed the RX 9070's 3,584. Its FP16 figure of 49.15 TFLOPS is higher than the RX 9070's 36.13 TFLOPS. Its 6 nm process node is larger than the 4 nm node of the RX 9070, and its transistor count and die size are listed as unknown.

The decision hinges on whether unverified specifications outweigh measured results. The database contains no evidence that the LX MAX achieves anything in practice. The RX 9070, by contrast, has ten recorded scores and a percentile rank. That asymmetry is the central finding.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ across nearly every recorded field. The RX 9070 uses the Navi 48 chip with RDNA 4.0 architecture, while the LX MAX uses the 7G106 chip with TrueGPU architecture. The RX 9070 belongs to the Radeon RX 9000 series and the Navi IV generation, while the LX MAX belongs to no series and the 7G100 generation.

The process nodes differ: 4 nm for the RX 9070 versus 6 nm for the LX MAX, both from TSMC. The RX 9070 has 53,900 million transistors on a 357 mm² die, while the LX MAX lists both as unknown. Memory capacity differs: 16 GB versus 12 GB. Bus width differs: 256-bit versus 192-bit. Bandwidth differs: 644.6 GB/s versus 432.0 GB/s.

Clock speeds are not directly comparable. The RX 9070 lists base, boost, and game clocks at 1330 MHz, 2520 MHz, and 2070 MHz respectively. The LX MAX lists no base, boost, or game clocks. Memory clocks differ: 2518 MHz with 20.1 Gbps effective for the RX 9070, versus 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective for the LX MAX.

Shading units, texture mapping units, and render output units all differ. The RX 9070 has 3,584 shading units, 224 TMUs, and 128 ROPs. The LX MAX has 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The RX 9070 has 56 ray tracing cores, while the LX MAX lists none.

Pixel and texture rates differ. The RX 9070 produces 322.6 GPixel/s and 564.5 GTexel/s. The LX MAX produces 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s. FP32 and FP16 throughput differ as described above. TDP is close: 220 W for the RX 9070, 225 W for the LX MAX.

The RX 9070 measures no listed dimensions, while the LX MAX is 248 mm long, 118 mm high, and 48 mm wide.

Architecture Differences

The RX 9070 uses RDNA 4.0, AMD's current architecture for the Navi IV generation. The LX MAX uses an architecture called TrueGPU, which the database associates with the 7G100 generation. No further details on TrueGPU are recorded.

The RX 9070 is built on a 4 nm TSMC process with 53,900 million transistors. The LX MAX is built on a 6 nm TSMC process with an unknown transistor count. The smaller node suggests the RX 9070 has a density advantage, calculated at 151.0 million transistors per square millimeter. The LX MAX has no density figure.

The RX 9070 includes 56 dedicated ray tracing cores. The LX MAX lists no ray tracing cores. This is a meaningful architectural difference, as ray tracing workloads would rely on those cores in the RX 9070 while the LX MAX has no recorded equivalent.

The FP16 ratios differ. The RX 9070 runs FP16 at a 1:1 ratio with FP32, meaning both peak at 36.13 TFLOPS. The LX MAX runs FP16 at a 2:1 ratio, reaching 49.15 TFLOPS while FP32 sits at 24.58 TFLOPS. This indicates the LX MAX is designed with a different compute balance, favoring half-precision workloads.

API support differs slightly. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6. The RX 9070 supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX MAX supports Vulkan 1.3. The RX 9070 has a launch MSRP of 549 USD, which the database records once here. The LX MAX has no launch MSRP.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 9070 wins in measured performance, memory capacity, memory bandwidth, FP32 throughput, pixel rate, texture rate, ray tracing support, process node, PCIe generation, and display output version. Its 16 GB frame buffer exceeds the LX MAX's 12 GB. Its 644.6 GB/s bandwidth is 49.2% higher than 432.0 GB/s. Its FP32 figure of 36.13 TFLOPS is 47.0% higher than 24.58 TFLOPS. Its pixel rate of 322.6 GPixel/s is 68.0% higher than 192.0 GPixel/s. Its texture rate of 564.5 GTexel/s is 47.0% higher than 384.0 GTexel/s.

The LX MAX wins in shading unit count, FP16 throughput, and physical dimensions. Its 6,144 shading units are 71.4% higher than 3,584. Its FP16 figure of 49.15 TFLOPS is 36.0% higher than 36.13 TFLOPS. Its 248 mm length, 118 mm height, and 48 mm width are recorded, while the RX 9070 has no dimensions in the database. The LX MAX also has a lower TDP by 5 W, though both share the same 550 W suggested PSU.

The RX 9070 has 56 ray tracing cores; the LX MAX has none recorded. The RX 9070 supports PCIe 5.0 x16; the LX MAX uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The RX 9070 uses DisplayPort 2.1a outputs; the LX MAX uses DisplayPort 1.4a. The RX 9070 has a launch MSRP of 549 USD, while the LX MAX has no recorded price.

The absence of benchmarks for the LX MAX means its wins are purely speculative. The database shows no evidence that its higher shading unit count or FP16 throughput translates into real-world performance. The RX 9070's wins are all recorded and measurable. That distinction matters more than any single specification difference.
