Photos of two PowerColor models, a Red Devil and a Reaper, popped up via Videocardz, showing boxes with both English and Chinese text. That suggests we might be looking at it being launched in China first, then grudgingly tossed to the rest of the world if demand holds up.

According to PC Gamer, the cards reportedly stick with the same Navi 48 silicon as the standard 9070, but there’s a big trim job going on. Stream processors have been slashed from 3,584 to 3,072, there’s only 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM (down from 16GB), and memory clocks have been dialled back to 18Gbps on a 192-bit bus. Still, GPU clocks seem to be heading in the opposite direction, with a potential boost up to 2.79GHz—well above the 2.52GHz cap on the standard 9070.

Power-wise, the Red Devil version still uses dual 8-pin connectors, same as the regular 9070, but shares a cooler with the 9070 XT. Clearly PowerColor’s not wasting any new tooling on this one.

The 9070 GRE is clearly aiming to undercut its pricier siblings while riding the same RDNA 4 wave that’s made AMD’s latest cards a hit. If priced below $500, it could be a killer option—assuming AMD doesn’t bungle the rollout like it did with the original GRE. That one launched in China only before slowly creeping worldwide once AMD realised there was actually demand.
