AMD is ready to formally unveil the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 in round per week’s time, which suggests leaks and rumors aplenty proper now. One such leak has supplied a clue as to the ability draw for these two new graphics playing cards, suggesting that they may carefully match the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070, respectively.
The RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 are the primary AMD RDNA 4 gaming GPUs to launch and have lengthy been anticipated to compete with the RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti for locations on our greatest graphics card information. This newest leak, although, appears to substantiate simply how carefully they’ll match.
This RX 9070 XT energy draw leak comes from common tech leaker, Hoang Anh Phu, who revealed the figures for the playing cards through X (previously Twitter). In a since-deleted submit, reported by Videocardz, Hoang Anh Phu means that the RX 9070 XT will launch with a 304W whole board energy (TBP) score, whereas the usual RX 9070 will probably be rated for 220W as a substitute.
The previous determine truly places the RX 9070 XT energy at a decrease degree than prompt by a current RX 9070 XT benchmark leak, which confirmed the RX 9070 XT may hit as excessive as 329W TBP. In the meantime, the recently-released RTX 5070 Ti has a 300W energy score, leaving it simply 4W below these rumored RX 9070 XT specs.
As for the RX 9070 non-XT’s 220W energy score, that places it a cushty 30W under the RTX 5070‘s anticipated 250W TBP.
In fact, energy consumption doesn’t essentially equate to efficiency, however on the specs entrance, we’re nonetheless anticipating to see AMD’s GPUs compete fairly effectively with Nvidia’s mid-tier playing cards. Videocardz additionally shared some specs knowledge to assist with that declare, with the RX 9070 XT set to have 64 Compute Models and a 2.97GHz enhance clock pace, whereas the RX 9070 non-XT will ship with 54 Compute Models and a 2.52GHz enhance clock as a substitute, in accordance with that website.
Each playing cards will embody 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM, whereas additionally supporting a PCIe 5.0 x16 connection. PCIe 5.0 help will provide double the potential reminiscence bandwidth in comparison with PCIe 4.0 playing cards just like the RX 7800 XT, though this isn’t more likely to have any affect on actual world efficiency.
AMD isn’t more likely to verify any of this knowledge earlier than it launches these playing cards on February 28, so we’ll have to attend till then to see what the GPU maker has been cooking up. When you wait, you’ll be able to take a look at our RTX 5080 overview to get a way of how an in depth Nvidia rival card performs in our actual world gaming checks.
