PowerColor has just rolled out two new custom models of the Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card, now visible on their official site.
In the latest twist to PowerColor’s lineup, they’re expanding their inventory to include two more graphics processing units (GPUs) under the RDNA 4 architecture. If you’ve been keeping an eye on RDNA 4 developments, PowerColor’s RX 9000 series might already be on your radar, having made a splash at the CES showcase. Previously, PowerColor showcased only the Red Devil version of the Radeon RX 9070 XT, celebrated as their quickest offering.
Excitement was on the rise when PowerColor hinted at the Hellhound Radeon RX 9070 XT a few weeks back, while whispers of the Reaper series were circulating even before the CES announcement. Spotted by Videocardz, the Hellhound and Reaper editions recently made their appearance on PowerColor’s website, teasing their unique designs.
Though AMD and its partner boards have stayed mum on official specifications, here’s what we can glean about the Hellhound RX 9070 XT so far:
The Hellhound variant keeps it straightforward with a sleek design, sporting a robust three-fan setup and a generous heatsink. It’s about a 2.5-slot card, displaying the iconic Hellhound logo on two of the fans, with a freshly designed PowerColor emblem perched on the middle fan. Connectivity-wise, it boasts four output ports: three DisplayPort (DP) and one HDMI.
Turning our eyes to the Reaper Radeon RX 9070 XT edition, it features rounded edges and a minimalist shroud. Like its Hellhound counterpart, it packs a triple fan configuration and occupies a 2.5-slot space. The I/O setup mirrors that of the Hellhound. A notable distinction between the two seems to be their boost clock speeds, with Hellhound reportedly edging ahead.
At this point, detailed specifications for the RX 9070 XT series from PowerColor remain under wraps, and it seems fans will have to hold their horses a little longer. AMD plans to unveil these cards officially in March, keeping further details at bay for now. According to AMD, additional time is needed to refine the software stack for optimal performance of the RX 9000 GPUs, leading to a slight delay in launch.
