AMD has officially announced the Radeon RX 9070 GRE, the latest RDNA 4 GPU built using the same Navi 48 chip as the 9070 and 9070 XT.

The Radeon RX 9070 GRE is official and will launch next month in China.

In addition to 25% less VRAM capacity, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE features 14.3% fewer Compute Units (CUs) than the baseline Radeon RX 9070. The regional price of 4,199 RMB (around $575) is 6.7% cheaper than the Radeon RX 9070's price of 4,999 RMB (around $600). AMD has also listed performance numbers on the product page, noting that the GPU is around 6% faster than the Radeon RX 7900 GRE.

Targeting 1440p Ultra performance, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE delivered impressive results in titles like F1 24, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Assassin's Creed: Shadows, and Horizon Forbidden West. The following benchmarks represent native or raw performance, without FSR or the new AI-powered FSR 4 upscaling.

AMD previously noted that the Radeon RX 9070 was on average 21% faster than the Radeon RX 7900 GRE, so the Radeon RX 9070 GRE will be notably slower than the current baseline 9070.

Although performance is only slightly faster than that of the Radeon RX 7900 GRE, with RDNA 4's improved ray-tracing and support for FSR 4, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE is still the superior offering. Here are the full specs for AMD's RDNA 4 GPUs, including the new Radeon RX 9070 GRE and the mainstream Radeon RX 9060 XT, on track for a global May/June 2025 launch.
