AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Leaked Listing Reveals Pricing Details

[GGforever]

If the recent RDNA 4 performance leaks are anything to go by, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and the RX 9070 XT GPUs are sizing up to be excellent mid-range contenders. That is, of course, if the pricing is sane enough. A subsequent leak revealed that the RX 9070 XT AIB models will command a price tag of roughly around $549, which would easily allow it to undercut the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070.

Now, a further leak has revealed a product listing of an RX 9070 XT by a retailer based in the Philippines. The variant in question is Gigabyte's Gaming OC model, with base and boost clocks of 2,400 and 2,970 MHz respectively. Moreover, 16 GB of GDDR6 memory is also offered, on a 256-bit memory bus. 4,096 shading units and 64 RT cores are present as well - nothing out of the ordinary.




Now let's get to the juicy bit - pricing. The RX 9070 XT Gaming OC is priced at 35,000 Pesos including 12% taxes, which translates to roughly around $521 before taxes. Whether or not this a good price will boil down to how well RDNA 4 performs against NVIDIA's offerings, and how well NVIDIA's partners price their variants. Right now, it does seem that the RX 9070 XT is priced well enough, but that is of course only if the listing is accurate. On that note, it is worth noting that there are a few typos in the listing, which surely does not inspire confidence. That said, being pre-release, the mistakes may just be unintentional - or not.

If powercolor variants are decent price in Canada, I may replace my 3080 with it.

 

[Zazigalka]

around 500-550 is good enough for the card to sell really well if it performs above 4070Ti and FSR4 delivers good results outside the R&C demo they presented.
It's a shame the card is rather power hungry though, 330w for a mid-range card is kinda crazy. 4080 super maxed at around 300w iirc, 5070 has a 250W TDP.

nividia's planned obsolescence of 3080 10G may very well backfire on them if 9070xt turns out to really deliver the performance I saw in the leaks. Good. It wouldn't if 3080 12G was the actual launch version.

The power consumption numbers don't make a lot of sense to me. 7900 XT (a bit lower than this card's rumored performance) consumes around 320w and that's a chiplet based GPU. Even if AMD made 0 improvements to perf per watt architecturally going monolithic would improve efficiency. We aren't getting the full picture of what's going on.

well, 3x8-pin is pretty much confirmed, except for the cheapest versions to save a penny. The card must be at least 300w. 7900gre has a tdp of 260w, and even the beefiest nitro+ has 2x8-pin. 9070xt is definitely power hungry for mid-range.

 

[AusWolf]

Sounds good to me. I might pick up an MBA card, or a Powercolor Reaper. We'll see which one will be more readily available in my area.

 

[freeagent]

Heck yeah, I might even grab one.

Edit:

Benchmarks are usually fairly indicative to the performance you will get, but I will hold off on final judgement until I see it perform in the games that I play..

I wouldn't draw any conclusions based on the number of connectors alone. They could be a marketing move to make the cards look beefier than they are.

 

[BlaezaLite]

If I upgrade, this will be the 3rd AMD card with 16GB of ram. I might put a SD card on it just to feel like I have more. AMD should just rush-release it first and mop up...

 

[Darmok N Jalad]

Agreed. Many of the AIB B580s have two 8-pin connectors, when the stock card launched with just one. Gotta power all them RGBs.

My guess is 265W for the MBA and 330W for the customs or they pull an XTX move like:

9070 XTX 330W
9070 XT 265W
9070 non XT 235 with less CU etc.

 

[Pumper]

Which is dumb, because the people with only 2x8pin PSUs will not buy the cards.

It's a 7800 tier card overclocked past what it can handle, getting fed ridiculous voltages, hence why it needs 3x8pin connectors. It'll be the same as the Vega 64 - you undervolt it and power usage will drop to 2/3rds and the chip will be able to maintain turbo clocks nonstop.

 

[ModEl4]

AMD Radeon RX 9070 series to have “balance of power and price similar to the RX 7800 XT and RX 7900 GRE

It needs to have +17% better raster performance/price vs 5070 in order to match 7800XT ($499) / 4070 ($549) performance/price difference (if I calculate with $599 for 4070 it needs +27% better raster performance/price to match the reaction that 7800XT generated and forced Nvidia to drop 4070 at $549)

1x8 pin= 150w
3x8 pins = 450w
Pcie slot= 75w
So in total= 525w


Amd mention references model 330w, so please tell me in logical way why and what of OC they will achieve with extra 200w, that 3x8 pin connection dont make any sense

this is the leaked card, says it's recognized as 7800xt, but it's navi4x, so 9070xt, has to be cause the benchmark score was similar to 7900xtx
tbp 330w

 

[Krit]

ASRock is going in the right direction! Such a better cable management.

 

[sudothelinuxwizard]

Meh... I really don't think this will be worth it over the 5070. Sure, it may be slightly better in raster, but if the leaks are anything to go by, even that is far from a given depending on how good the 5070 and you lose all the NGreedia features. Personally I am more excited for higher end Battlemage.

 

[Neo_Morpheus]

Heck yeah, I might even grab one.

I wouldn’t recommend that, the local Ngreedia white knights would feel betrayed and might plan “things” against you.



Joke aside, I will admit that is looking like a good gpu but yes, really curious as to why some models are including 3 power connectors.

Hopefully, we will finally get some real answers soon, instead of all these rumors and leaks.

 

[Tom Yum]

By my very simple calculations it should offer around 7900XT raster performance. 4096 shaders clocked ~20% higher puts it at ~5000 RDNA3 shader equivalent, throw in a 10% IPC uplift you are at 7900XT levels of compute. Smaller memory bandwidth but also monolithic so less latency. RT is the unknown, it should obviously be faster with more dedicated accelerated RT cores, but proof will be in the pudding.

A 7900XT with 4070Ti RT performance for $550 would be a good product and should be successful.

Especially with better ML-based FSR.

When are the xt reviews supposed to hit? Im sooo bored of leaks at this point.

Safety precautions. Have you studied electrical engineering? High current needs really thick wires in order to be carried without temperature / melting / damage issues.

In two weeks.

 

[Jism]

Agreed. Many of the AIB B580s have two 8-pin connectors, when the stock card launched with just one. Gotta power all them RGBs.

Many of this stuff is purely overrated. Motherboards for example. 24 phase VRM - while server boards on the other hand seem to get away with a simple, 4 5 or 6 phase VRM setup and that is designed with 24/7 usage in mind. There's not a chance in the world anyway that you'll be able to tax the full amount of power the VRM setup often is rated for, not even if you just need "cleaner" power.

Same as video cards; a single 8 pin is rated for 150W but in reality it can easily do 400W. It just depends on the quality of components. Ive pushed well over 375W over a single 8 pin connector, thing just gets warm and that's it. I get it on cheaper quality hardware or cable's with obvious corrosion it might be a future issue, but normally not.

2x 8 pin is just to meet standards - nothing more. I'm curious to see the performance of this new 9070XT; it might be a good replacement for my 6700XT.

Safety precautions. Have you studied electrical engineering? High current needs really thick wires in order to be carried without temperature / melting / damage issues.

Single 12V wire is capable of pulling at least 10 amps. Godlike type of wires and / or PSU's well above 13 amps.

I did not study that field, but i do know that one reason for them to do this is that under certain operations, the gpu exceeded the amount of power provided by the pci slot and 2X8 connections and that its strange for what is supposed to be a mid tier gpu.
