AMD Set to Launch 16 GB Radeon RX 9070 GRE Graphics Card Between September and October

AMD Plans 16 GB VRAM Upgrade for Radeon RX 9070 GRE Graphics Card

Recent reports suggest that AMD is gearing up to enhance its Radeon RX 9070 GRE graphics card, transitioning from 12 GB to a more robust 16 GB VRAM option in the near future.

Upgrade Speculations: Meeting Market Demand

Initially launched in May, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE was primarily intended for the Chinese market but has gained traction globally, especially outside the APAC region. Positioned just below the RX 9070 at approximately $500, the card is now projected to see a version tailored for increased memory capacity due to growing consumer demand.

As reported by Chinese Board Channels, AMD’s latest considerations involve enhancing the Radeon RX 9070 GRE by upgrading its VRAM from 12 GB to 16 GB. This change is expected to include an upgrade of the memory bus from 192-bit to 256-bit, aligning it with other Navi 48 models. However, it’s still unclear whether additional enhancements, such as core configuration changes or adjusted power ratings, will accompany this upgrade.

The latest news on AMD’s new graphics card product planning reveals that the RX9070 GRE series currently only has a 12GB memory model. To meet market demand, memory capacity will be increased. AMD may upgrade this product line in the future.

It is understood that AMD is planning to upgrade the RX9070 GRE model, possibly directly to 16GB memory capacity, with an official release expected between September and October.

Expected Release Timeline and Market Focus

The anticipated release of the upgraded graphics card is speculated for late Q3 or early Q4 of this year, projected between September and October. The focus will largely remain on the Chinese market, although it remains uncertain whether the pricing will hold steady at 4199 RMB or if an increase will occur.

The current RX 9070 GRE 12 GB variant is equipped with 48 compute units and a total of 6144 cores, along with a power rating of 220W. Performance reviews indicate that this graphics card competes effectively with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 across a variety of gaming scenarios, complemented by support for FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 4. The AMD RDNA 4 GPUs have gained significant traction in both Asian and international markets owing to their impressive performance-per-dollar ratio.
