Notes on 10 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 7700 XT, Base clock: AMD publishes only Game (2171 MHz) and Boost clocks; no base clock appears on AMD's page.
- 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.
- 5AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Recommended PSU: AMD bases this rating on a Ryzen 9 7950X system; your needs may differ.
- 6AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, Power connectors: AIB-only card; most listed partner models use two 8-pin connectors (Yeston Sakura variants use three).
- 7AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Power connectors: Reference card uses two 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
- 8AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, DisplayPort version: Notebookcheck specifies the DP 2.1 output at UHBR13.5 link rate.
- 9AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, HDMI outputs: AMD sells no retail reference card; port counts are for AMD's reference design as listed by VideoCardz.
- 10AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, DisplayPort outputs: AMD sells no retail reference card; port counts are for AMD's reference design as listed by VideoCardz.
Performance and Architecture
The RX 9070 GRE moves to the Rdna 4 architecture with a higher boost clock of 2,790 MHz. This delivers faster peak speeds compared to the older Rdna 3 architecture.
Despite the higher clock speed, the older RX 7700 XT carries more shader cores and a higher FP32 compute rating of 35.2 TFLOPS. Both options feature 12 GB of Gddr6 memory across a 192-bit bus with 48 MB of last-level cache.
Power and Efficiency
The newer architecture brings lower power requirements, needing a board power of just 220 W. This reduces thermal output inside the PC case.
Because of the lower draw, the RX 9070 GRE requires a smaller recommended PSU of 650 W. Partner models rely on an 8-pin power connector setup, though requirements vary by specific manufacturer variants.
Connectivity and Standards
The RX 9070 GRE adds support for modern PCIe 5.0 interfaces for wider bandwidth compatibility with newer motherboards. It also updates display connectivity with HDMI 2.1b and DisplayPort 2.1a ports.
The older RX 7700 XT sticks to PCIe 4.0 and standard HDMI 2.1 outputs. Both feature a reference design layout consisting of one HDMI port and three DisplayPort connections.
The Verdict
Buy the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE if you want newer architecture, lower power draw, and PCIe 5.0 support. Buy the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT if you prefer a lower launch price and higher shader core counts.
