AMD officially launched the Radeon RX 9070 GRE graphics card to the global market at the 2026 Taipei International Computer Show. This product finally filled the gap in the company's mid-range graphics card product line and directly benchmarked the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. This graphics card was previously only sold in some markets such as China, but now it has expanded to the United States and other regions.
AMD launched the RX 9060 series of graphics cards in the middle of last year, including 8GB and 16GB versions of the RX 9060 XT. However, this product layout leaves a gap in the market between the 9060 series and the higher-end 9070 series, leaving room for Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti to compete. The industry had previously predicted that the performance of the RX 9070 GRE would be between the 9060 XT and the 9070 but closer to the latter. It can easily meet the challenges of the GeForce 5060 Ti in rasterized rendering scenarios and be on par with its opponents in terms of ray tracing performance.
At this Computex exhibition, AMD also released the new X3D series processors and announced the performance data of the RX 9070 GRE compared to the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti. In traditional rasterized gaming tests at 1440p resolution, AMD claims that this graphics card has a performance advantage of up to 40%. It shows a clear advantage in games like Monster Hunter Wilds and Resident Evil: Requiem, while the gap is smaller in relatively lightweight games like Arc Raiders and Overwatch 2.
In terms of ray tracing performance, AMD claims to have also achieved a considerable lead, with a performance advantage of nearly 30% in "Assassin's Creed: Shadows". Games like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 also show impressive performance differences between Red Team and NVIDIA graphics cards.
Taken together, AMD said that the average performance of the new RX 9070 GRE is 22% higher than that of the 5060 Ti, while the price/performance advantage reaches 26%. This value is calculated based on the lowest available price of the Newegg platform, where the 5060 Ti 16GB version is priced at $569, while the RX 9070 GRE is priced at $549.
From the technical specifications, the RX 9070 GRE is equipped with 48 computing units, 3072 stream processors, 48 third-generation light accelerators and 96 second-generation AI accelerators. The gaming frequency of this graphics card is 2070MHz, and the maximum acceleration frequency can reach 2790MHz. The video memory uses 12GB GDDR6 configuration, with a bit width of 256 bits, a speed of up to 20Gbps, a bandwidth of 640GB/s, and a 48MB AMD Infinity Cache. The typical power consumption of the entire card is 220W. It is recommended to use a 650W power supply, which requires two 8-pin power supply interfaces.
The graphics card is equipped with 96 rasterization units and 192 texture units, which doubles the 128-bit graphics memory interface of the RX 9060 XT, but the memory capacity is reduced from the 16GB of the 9070 and 9070 XT. The complete comparative evaluation report will be released the next day.
