Notes on 17 values — test conditions and caveats
- 1AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, Release date: Chinese retail deliveries began May 8, 2025; the global launch followed at Computex 2026.
- 2AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, Launch price: Global launch MSRP $549; Chinese AIB cards started at ¥4,199 (≈$450 per Notebookcheck).
- 3AMD Radeon RX 9070, Launch price: AMD's $549 starting MSRP at launch; AMD sells no reference card, so partner models may cost more.
- 4AMD Radeon RX 9070, Boost clock: Peak 'up to' boost; AMD's game clock is 2070 MHz for typical gaming.
- 5AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Base clock: AMD publishes only Game (2171 MHz) and Boost clocks; no base clock appears on AMD's page.
- 6AMD 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.
- 7AMD Radeon RX 9070, Board power: Partner overclocked cards can exceed 220 W; IGN measured 249 W peaks on a factory-OC card.
- 8AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Recommended PSU: AMD bases this rating on a Ryzen 9 7950X system; your needs may differ.
- 9AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, Power connectors: AIB-only card; most listed partner models use two 8-pin connectors (Yeston Sakura variants use three).
- 10AMD Radeon RX 9070, Power connectors: Two 8-pin PCIe power connectors are required (2x 8-pin per AMD and Sapphire).
- 11AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Power connectors: Reference card uses two 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
