AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE Review: An Awkward Addition to the Lineup

[Steve]

The Radeon RX 9070 GRE arrives outside China, but a year-old GPU with 12GB of VRAM and a $550 price tag struggles to justify its place in AMD's increasingly crowded lineup.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE Review: An Awkward Addition to the Lineup

 

[Axeia]

AMD's GPU division must have unlocked some kind of 'sharpshooter' achievement when it comes to shooting themselves in the foot.
Astonishing how bad they are at pricing products.

Guess we'll patiently wait until its pricing starts making sense, more choice is a good thing I suppose.

Steve is starting to sound as tired of the PC market as I am

IMO there isn't enough space between the 9060xt and the 9070 for this to make much sense. Especially as those other cards come in 16gb flavors.

This should put to rest any concerns that Steve Walton only cares about how well GPUs do in Fortnite and other twitch shooters. You can see there's actually a bunch of games tested. And here we have an AMD card that only got a modest score. So what do you haters say now?

Sounds pretty bad, in comparison to the 9070. But that dollars per frame is at the lower end, and the performance seems like nothing to comment on at 1440P, and most look OK at 4K. Hopefully the price on it does come down a bit. I guess it can't hurt for AMD to put this out, it's hard to have any enthusiasm over it, but their only real costs are to come up with English language packaging; and that's on Gigabyte etc. and not AMD themselves.

Wrong take IMO... It's still faster and a tiny bit cheaper than the 5060Ti 16, and THAT is what ACTUALLY matters, the competition against Nvidia, more than their other cards that, bottom line, make for a sad 5% of the market.
Even more so, they could be upselling you to the regular 9070 for the small price difference, and even more so if you're even looking at AMD cards already over Nvidia.
IMO it's very smartly priced.

Same MSRP as Radeon 9070 16GB does this mean price will go up on the 9070 or the card will make no sense

16GB on a 9060 XT never made sense, what do you need 16GB for, on a weak GPU with a 128 bit bus? It is not like you are going to max out demanding games at 4K/UHD...

GPU wise, 9060 XT is a 1080p solution.
9070 GRE 12GB beats 9060 XT 16GB bigtime in 1440p.

I would gladly take a more powerful GPU with less VRAM, than a weak GPU with more VRAM (that will be useless anyway)

9070 GRE is a decent card, the problem is price. Should have been 399-449 really. Then it would make sense.

Not so much the comparison between AMD's other products. More of an illustration of how ridiculously overpriced Nvidia's product stack is. Taking into account the 'scam' that RayTracing is, (Techspots words - not mine) and frame generation fakery.

I say he went into this review with a negative attitude and downplayed it as much as possible. Even when it did get good scores he kind of downplayed it. Granted it is not a card I would buy but at the same time if the price comes down which it should it could become a decent card for the price, but that price needs to be max $500.
