Notes on 13 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. 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; other systems may need a different PSU.
  7. 7AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, Power connectors: AIB-only card; most listed partner models use two 8-pin connectors (Yeston Sakura variants use three).
  8. 8AMD Radeon RX 9070, Power connectors: Two 8-pin PCIe power connectors are required (2x 8-pin per AMD and Sapphire).
  9. 9NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, Power connectors: One 16-pin 12V-2x6 socket; an adapter for two 8-pin cables comes in the box.
  10. 10AMD Radeon RX 9070, DisplayPort version: Club386 lists the DP 2.1a link rate as UHBR13.5; UHBR20 is not supported.
  11. 11NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
  12. 12AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, HDMI outputs: AMD sells no retail reference card; port counts are for AMD's reference design as listed by VideoCardz.
  13. 13AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, DisplayPort outputs: AMD sells no retail reference card; port counts are for AMD's reference design as listed by VideoCardz.
