Notes on 10 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, Release date: Chinese retail deliveries began May 8, 2025; the global launch followed at Computex 2026.
  2. 2AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, Launch price: Global launch MSRP $549; Chinese AIB cards started at ¥4,199 (≈$450 per Notebookcheck).
  3. 3AMD Radeon RX 9070, Launch price: AMD's $549 starting MSRP at launch; AMD sells no reference card, so partner models may cost more.
  4. 4AMD Radeon RX 9070, Boost clock: Peak 'up to' boost; AMD's game clock is 2070 MHz for typical gaming.
  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 9070 GRE, Power connectors: AIB-only card; most listed partner models use two 8-pin connectors (Yeston Sakura variants use three).
  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 9070, DisplayPort version: Club386 lists the DP 2.1a link rate as UHBR13.5; UHBR20 is not supported.
  9. 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.
  10. 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 Graphics Chip

The standard RX 9070 comes out ahead in raw compute power with 3,584 shader cores and 36.1 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. That extra muscle gives it an edge in heavy rendering tasks and demanding shader workloads compared to the GRE variant.

Yet the RX 9070 GRE counters with a higher 2,790 MHz boost clock against the standard card's 2,520 MHz peak. That faster clock speed helps the GRE punch above its weight in clock-sensitive applications despite having fewer processing cores.

Memory and Bandwidth

Memory capacity draws a hard line between these two graphics cards for high-resolution gaming and asset-heavy workflows. The RX 9070 equips 16 GB of GDDR6 memory running across a 256-bit bus, driving a massive 640 GB/s of memory bandwidth alongside a 64 MB last-level cache.

In comparison, the RX 9070 GRE steps down to 12 GB of video memory on a narrower 192-bit bus. That narrower bus results in a lower 432 GB/s bandwidth and a smaller 48 MB last-level cache, leaving the standard card much better equipped for future games at max settings.

Power and Hardware Support

Both cards share identical power requirements, pulling a 220 W board power and demanding a 650 W recommended power supply. They also feature identical video encoding support for H.264, HEVC, and AV1 streaming needs.

Display outputs differ slightly in how manufacturers package them. The GRE lists support for one HDMI 2.1b port and three DisplayPort 2.1a outputs based on reference designs, while the standard model specifies a maximum of four displays.

The Verdict

Buy the AMD Radeon RX 9070 if you need maximum memory bandwidth and raw compute power for demanding modern titles. Buy the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE if you prefer a higher out-of-the-box boost clock at the same starting price.

FAQ

What power supply do these graphics cards require?

Both models require a 650 W recommended power supply and draw 220 W of board power under standard operation.

Do both cards support AV1 hardware encoding?

Yes, both graphics cards feature hardware encode support for H.264, HEVC, and AV1.

What is the difference in video memory between the two cards?

The RX 9070 includes 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, while the GRE version has 12 GB on a 192-bit bus.
