PowerColor has introduced two new models in their lineup of Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics cards, now showcased on their official website.
In the latest addition to their RDNA 4 offerings, PowerColor—a notable AMD partner—has expanded their GPU portfolio, which already includes the Red Devil Radeon RX 9070 XT known for its superior performance. While the gaming community has been buzzing about the RX 9000 series since its CES debut, the official product page had only featured the Red Devil version up to now.
Recently, PowerColor gave a sneak peek of the Hellhound Radeon RX 9070 XT, and details about the Reaper series also emerged ahead of CES, creating anticipation among enthusiasts. Although they’re not available for purchase just yet, a spotting by Videocardz has revealed both the Hellhound and Reaper editions on PowerColor’s website, showcasing their unique designs.
Sadly, we still lack official specifications from AMD or its partners. Nevertheless, let’s dive into what the new Hellhound RX 9070 XT offers:
The Hellhound RX 9070 XT is crafted with a straightforward aesthetic, featuring three fans and a sizeable heatsink. It appears to be a 2.5-slot card and prominently displays the classic Hellhound logo on two of the fans, while the PowerColor badge on the middle fan is a fresh addition from the RX 7900 XTX version. You’ll find four output options: three DisplayPorts and one HDMI slot.
Moving on to the Reaper Radeon RX 9070 XT, this version showcases smooth edges and a minimalistic shroud with a triple fan setup. It also slots into a 2.5 form factor and shares similar I/O connectivity as the Hellhound. The primary distinction between the two models might come down to the boost clock speeds, with the Hellhound potentially clocking higher.
As of now, PowerColor hasn’t published any detailed specs for the RX 9070 XT cards, and it seems we’ll have to wait a bit longer than initially thought. AMD has slated the official launch for March, so it’s unlikely that any specific details will surface in the near term. The delay, according to AMD, allows them to fine-tune the software stack for optimal performance of the RX 9000 GPUs.
