The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE has been a China-only product since its regional debut last year, and for a while it looked like it might stay that way. VideoCardz has obtained images of Sapphire retail packaging for the card with full English branding on the Sapphire PULSE version, replacing the Chinese product naming Sapphire […]

It's a 9070... only slightly slower than the 9070xt... wouldn't that be a 9060?
 
Overpriced Chinese market slop

I had a different opinion.


 
Yes, I read it. Good review, but bad bang for buck card. MSI 5070 on Amazon is $606, comes with the 007 game, has a superior software stack, and better vram management in windows. Easy pick really.

I'll be doing a direct 9070 GRE vs 5070 review, so that will be interesting.

It trades blows with the 5070, according to J2C's charts. Could argue the 5070 will have better RT performance and definitely a better encoder.
 
I really want AMD to come out swinging with a bad *** card that people can afford. This middle tier expensive anyway video card isn't the way to do it. Honestly I get it, they want to hit more price points so people have product they can buy and enjoy... I'm just hard pressed... if you're budget limited in a real way getting into PC gaming right now.... has to be a horrible experience.

It is close in raster loses with RT. Had vram spillover in a game when the 5070 did not. DLSS is still the gold standard for upscaling. The 007 game code can be sold if the buyer does not want it. Otherwise that makes it close to the same price. Simply no reason for windows gamers to buy the rabbit. Much more viable choice for Linux gamers, where AMD vram management is improving all the time, and the user experience is consider by the majority to be the most polished.

Looking forward to it.

I confess it is possible I am being too harsh on the rascally rabbit. As it strikes me as being a better card the way Fabio tested it, than with the proper review methodology. He used it in a more realistic build, with more realistic settings. I hope he retests in Linux, that would be must watch TV for me. I would not want every reviewer like yourself to test that way. I just think it's a great perspective to add into the mix when weighing what to buy.

He tested so many games too; something for everyone.
