Notes on 12 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1AMD Radeon RX 9070, Launch price: AMD's $549 starting MSRP at launch; AMD sells no reference card, so partner models may cost more.
  2. 2AMD Radeon RX 9070, Boost clock: Peak 'up to' boost; AMD's game clock is 2070 MHz for typical gaming.
  3. 3AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Base clock: AMD publishes only Game (2171 MHz) and Boost clocks; no base clock appears on AMD's page.
  4. 4AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Memory bandwidth: AMD also lists 1995 GB/s 'effective' bandwidth including Infinity Cache; 432 GB/s is the raw VRAM figure.
  5. 5AMD Radeon RX 9070, Board power: Partner overclocked cards can exceed 220 W; IGN measured 249 W peaks on a factory-OC card.
  6. 6AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Recommended PSU: AMD bases this rating on a Ryzen 9 7950X system; your needs may differ.
  7. 7AMD Radeon RX 9070, Power connectors: Two 8-pin PCIe power connectors are required (2x 8-pin per AMD and Sapphire).
  8. 8AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Power connectors: Reference card uses two 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
  9. 9AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, HDMI version: AMD's spec page lists HDMI 2.1; its own press release and Notebookcheck state HDMI 2.1a.
  10. 10AMD Radeon RX 9070, DisplayPort version: Club386 lists the DP 2.1a link rate as UHBR13.5; UHBR20 is not supported.
  11. 11AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, DisplayPort version: Notebookcheck specifies the DP 2.1 output at UHBR13.5 link rate.
  12. 12AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, DisplayPort version: Notebookcheck lists the DisplayPort 2.1 link rate as UHBR13.5; AMD notes DP 2.1 support depends on AIB designs.
