A leaked GPU-Z screenshot has apparently revealed some key specs for the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card, which might show to be higher for players than anticipated. Whereas AMD hasn’t launched this data itself, the screenshot offers us some concept of the potential efficiency that this card will provide players, weeks forward of its launch in March.
This new AMD flagship GPU is ready to launch in early March, in response to an RX 9070 XT launch date window supplied by the corporate’s CEO. That timescale means the brand new card is barely weeks away, however AMD nonetheless hasn’t confirmed a lot concerning the card itself, leaving leaks and rumors to fill within the gaps. Nonetheless, we do count on this GPU to be the most effective graphics playing cards out there for the common gamer, even when it lacks the efficiency energy that Nvidia provides with its top-tier Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090.
This leak displaying the specs for this unreleased GPU was unveiled in a submit on X (previously Twitter) by Hong Kong tech web site HKEPC, captioning the image with “RX 9070 XT (Navi 48)” solely, referencing the interior identify for the cardboard’s GPU. The screenshot reveals a card with a Navi 48 card GPU, albeit with the cardboard’s official identify obscured, working with very related internals to these referenced in a latest 9070 XT specs leak a couple of weeks in the past, though with some vital variations.
If these specs show to be correct, then it means the Radeon RX 9070 XT will launch with the anticipated 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM. The specs listed within the screenshot additionally embrace 4,096 stream processors, a 256-bit reminiscence bus, and whole reminiscence bandwidth of 644.6GB/s.
Nonetheless, whereas these rumored specs pointed to a base clock pace of two.4GHz, boostable as much as 2.97GHz, this screenshot appears to indicate a card with a base clock pace of two.57GHz that enhances as much as 3.1GHz. This distinction may very well be defined by it being a higher-end RX 9070 XT card with manufacturing facility overclocking utilized, or it may very well be the ultimate specs for the bottom mannequin card, with the sooner leak incorrect as a substitute. We received’t know for certain till AMD reveals the official specs later this month, nonetheless.
An fascinating change revealed right here, too, is using PCIe 5.0 interface. That particularly contradicts data leaked by Overclockers UK final month, and reported by Videocardz on the time, which acknowledged in an FAQ that the RX 9070 XT was set to “make the most of PCIe Gen 4 connectivity.” The additional bandwidth afforded through the use of PCI 5.0 is unlikely to supply any noticeable efficiency profit for a mid-tier card with these specs, nonetheless.
We’re nonetheless anticipating this new RDNA 4 flagship card to compete within the mid-tier for gaming, arising towards the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti for the common gamer. Regardless of reviews that AMD is abandoning high-end gaming, these specs present the GPU maker isn’t completely getting out of the sport with a card that, whereas it isn’t prone to problem an RTX 5090 or RTX 5080 in efficiency, continues to be going to be a GPU that the common gamer is prone to need – if the efficiency matches as much as expectations, that’s.
