It's a very grim time for shopping for PC component upgrades, so to see an actual deal on a GPU that takes it below its MSRP in today's inflated market is a rare sight indeed. ● Check out this deal at Newegg The RX 9070 GRE was initially made available to the Chinese GPU market and received a few changes from the original RX 9070 XT. The available VRAM was cut from 16GB to just 12GB of GDDR6, but it still sports bandwidth speeds of 18 Gbps on a 192-bit bus, producing 432 GB/s of memory bandwidth in gaming and applications. The Radeon RX 9070 GRE is still built on AMD’s RDNA 4 graphics architecture and uses the same Navi 48 GPU as the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT. The RX 9070 GRE features a cut-down version of the Navi 48 chip with 48 compute units compared to the RX 9070's 56. Using just 220W total power draw, the RX 9070 GRE has an Identical power footprint to the standard Radeon RX 9070 GPU, making it quite power efficient and not needing a huge power supply to run. A great graphics card for 1080p and 1440p gaming, the RX 9070 GRE sports 12GB of VRAM and boost clock speeds of 2920 MHz. We benchmarked the Radeon RX 9070 GRE in our extensive review, putting it through its paces in our suite of games. We found the card averages a cool 120 FPS at 1080p settings and 86.6 FPS at 1440p across our 11-game raster-only test suite. This is a good GPU choice for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with the RX 9070 GRE packing ample VRAM for high settings at 1080p, but pushing ultra settings at 1440p may use up the 12GB of VRAM. AMD's Radeon RX 9070 GRE sits just behind Nvidia's RTX 5070 in our results chart that you can view below. If you're actively looking for a new GPU in the current PC component market, you're more than aware of the considerable price hikes across the GPU lineups from both AMD and Nvidia. To see a graphics card on sale for under its launch MSRP is a very rare sight, and I personally did not expect to see this kind of deal again outside of a large sale event like Prime Day or Black Friday. So if you're looking for a competent card for 1080p and 1440p gaming, then jump on the Gigabyte Gaming RX 9070 GRE for just $499.99. Stewart Bendle is a deals and coupon writer at Tom's Hardware.

Now, at $499, it is a good deal in the context of other available options; going by PC PartPicker, the cheapest in stock 16 GB 9060XT (which is a fair bit slower) $460, and the cheapest vanilla 9070 is $650; over on the Nvidia side the cheapest 8 GB 5060 TI is $499 and the cheapest 5070 is $799.Reply - artk2219 Reply $499 makes it probably the best deal around, the next best is probably the B580 at $329, not that either one would be considered a great deal if we take historical pricing into account. The B580 also doesnt come out great in a head to head, the 9070 GRE has almost double the performance, for a little over 50% more. But in the current landscape, they're probably the least bad. It is still insane to me that RTX 5060 Ti's and above are selling at such stupid prices. Sadly its just another reminder that people are bad at doing research before buying something.GenericUser2001 said:The original launch price on this made no sense in the first place.

Tested from rdna2 to rdna4.Reply Same problems. NVidia graphics has better solid overall in the machine. Its why they have solid 90% of market.
