A leaked GPU-Z screenshot has apparently revealed some key specs for the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card, which may show to be higher for avid gamers than anticipated. Whereas AMD hasn’t launched this info itself, the screenshot offers us some thought of the potential efficiency that this card will supply avid gamers, 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 offered by the corporate’s CEO. That timescale means the brand new card is just weeks away, however AMD nonetheless hasn’t confirmed a lot in regards to the card itself, leaving leaks and rumors to fill within the gaps. Nevertheless, we do anticipate this GPU to be among the finest graphics playing cards out there for the typical gamer, even when it lacks the efficiency energy that Nvidia presents with its top-tier Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090.
This leak exhibiting the specs for this unreleased GPU was unveiled in a publish on X (previously Twitter) by Hong Kong tech web site HKEPC, captioning the image with “RX 9070 XT (Navi 48)” solely, referencing the inner identify for the cardboard’s GPU. The screenshot exhibits a card with a Navi 48 card GPU, albeit with the cardboard’s official identify obscured, operating with very related internals to these referenced in a current 9070 XT specs leak just a few weeks in the past, though with some necessary 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.
Nevertheless, whereas these rumored specs pointed to a base clock pace of two.4GHz, boostable as much as 2.97GHz, this screenshot appears to point out a card with a base clock pace of two.57GHz that reinforces as much as 3.1GHz. This distinction might be defined by it being a higher-end RX 9070 XT card with manufacturing facility overclocking utilized, or it might be the ultimate specs for the bottom mannequin card, with the sooner leak incorrect as an alternative. We received’t know for certain till AMD reveals the official specs later this month, nonetheless.
An fascinating change revealed right here, too, is the usage of PCIe 5.0 interface. That particularly contradicts info leaked by Overclockers UK final month, and reported by Videocardz on the time, which said 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 typical gamer. Regardless of stories that AMD is abandoning high-end gaming, these specs present the GPU maker isn’t fully 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 typical gamer is prone to need – if the efficiency matches as much as expectations, that’s.
