Quick Answer

The RX 9070 XT delivers strong 4K performance in Marvel Rivals at Medium settings, averaging between 85 and 110 FPS depending on scene complexity and whether FSR 4 upscaling is enabled. It is a capable mid-to-high-range card for South African gamers looking to play Marvel Rivals at 4K without breaking the bank.

Marvel Rivals has quickly become one of the most played hero shooters in the world, and South African gamers are diving in. If you''re rocking an RX 9070 XT and targeting a 4K display, you want to know exactly what frame rates to expect before committing to Medium settings. This breakdown covers real-world FPS results for 2026 and what to tweak to push performance further.

RX 9070 XT at 4K Medium: What the Numbers Say

At native 4K with Medium settings, the RX 9070 XT consistently hits between 85 and 100 FPS during standard gameplay moments - corridor fights, ability clashes, and mid-range skirmishes. During large team fights with multiple hero ultimates firing simultaneously, frame rates can dip to the low 70s. Turning on FSR 4 in Quality mode pushes averages up to 105–115 FPS without meaningful visual degradation at 4K, making it the recommended configuration for competitive play.

The RX 9070 XT''s 16GB GDDR6 VRAM buffer handles 4K texture assets comfortably, with no stuttering from VRAM overflow even in the busiest maps like Tokyo 2099 and Yggsgard.

Optimal Medium Settings for Best FPS

Not all Medium settings carry equal performance weight. Shadows and ambient occlusion are the two biggest frame-rate costs at 4K. Dropping shadows from Medium to Low while keeping textures and model quality at Medium recovers roughly 8–12 FPS with minimal visual impact during fast-paced team fights. Anti-aliasing should be left on TAA or swapped for FSR 4 entirely - MSAA at 4K hammers the GPU hard.

Set your texture quality to High (the VRAM budget allows it), model detail to Medium, and effects quality to Medium. This hybrid profile extracts the best visual-to-performance ratio from the RX 9070 XT at 4K.

How the RX 9070 XT Stacks Up for SA Gamers

For South African players running 4K monitors - whether a 144Hz gaming panel or a 60Hz TV setup - the RX 9070 XT sits in a practical sweet spot. It keeps Marvel Rivals above 60 FPS even at its lowest 4K moments, and with FSR 4 enabled, it chases the 100+ FPS mark that faster 4K monitors demand. The card launched at a price point that offers strong rand-per-frame value compared to older high-end GPUs, making it the go-to recommendation in Evetech''s current GPU lineup for 4K hero-shooter gaming.
