On 1 June 2026, AMD officially launched its Radeon RX 9070 GRE GPU for the global market - for those of you who are unaware, the RX 9070 GRE was first sighted back in April/May 2025, where it was a China-exclusive SKU. Close to a year later, AMD's finally made the decision to do a global launch for the RX 9070 GRE, amidst a dearth of new global GPU launches caused partially by the AI datacenter boom, which has robbed supply of VRAM for new graphics cards.
Built on the RDNA 4 architecture, the RX 9070 GRE utilises the "Navi 48 XL" GPU, with 3072 stream processors and a boost clock of 2.79 GHz, slotting it between AMD's mainstream RX 9060 XT 16GB GPU and the higher-end RX 9070 (non-XT) GPU. Paired with 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM, AMD's marketing spiel positions the RX 9070 GRE against NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB with a MSRP of US$549 (for context, the 5060 Ti 16GB had a launch MSRP of US$429, but we're instead seeing actual market prices of around US$569 due to several inflationary factors).
For this review, ALKtech unboxes and tests a RX 9070 GRE graphics card by XFX - the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 GRE Triple Fan Gaming Edition (RX-97GRE2 V1.0). Featuring a triple-fan cooler design, the Swift is XFX's value-oriented product in its line-up of graphics cards, where the card doesn't come with any RGB bling and simply gets the job done without any fuss. Watch on to see how this card performs with a small selection of gaming benchmark tests at the 1440p resolution, when paired with AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D gaming processor - we've also got a chart to show how it stacks up against the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB at both 1440p and 1080p as well!
