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 XT, Launch price: TechSpot reports AMD subsidizes this MSRP with a $50 retailer rebate, so street prices often run higher.
  3. 3AMD Radeon RX 9070, Boost clock: Peak 'up to' boost; AMD's game clock is 2070 MHz for typical gaming.
  4. 4AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, Boost clock: TechSpot's 2400 MHz figure is AMD's 'game' clock; the boost rating is 2970 MHz.
  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 5090, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; it recommends a PCIe CEM 5.1 compliant PSU.
  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 XT, Power connectors: Corsair notes a few partner 90-series cards use 12V-2x6; the vast majority use 2x 8-pin.
  9. 9AMD Radeon RX 9070, DisplayPort version: Club386 lists the DP 2.1a link rate as UHBR13.5; UHBR20 is not supported.
  10. 10AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, DisplayPort version: TechPowerUp specifies the DisplayPort outputs as UHBR13.5.
  11. 11NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at UHBR20 on all three DP outputs.
  12. 12NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, Slot width: The card is 2-slot, but NVIDIA's install guide asks for 3-slot (61 mm) case clearance.
