What these figures can tell you

Published specifications do not measure gaming performance. Compute counts and clock speeds are architecture-specific and should not be treated as direct performance equivalents. TGP, TBP and Board power are vendor-defined power terms and remain labelled as published.

Measured evidence

Evidence record

Sources and verification

Specifications for AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT were checked against the linked source material. Last verified .

The RX 9070 XT image is the existing owner-supplied ASUS partner image and is not asserted by AMD sources. The launch_date stores March 6 2025 commercial availability while AMD used launch language on February 28. The exact 2400 MHz game clock and 2970 MHz boost from the product page are used instead of the newsroom's rounded GHz values. AMD publishes no fixed dimensions or display output counts and retail partner designs can vary.

The RX 7900 XTX image is the existing owner-supplied ASUS partner image and is not asserted by AMD sources. The live AMD URL now returns HTTP 404 while the cited Wayback snapshot preserves the February 2024 guide as historical evidence. The catalog uses AMD's current 355 W TBP while that archived guide published 350 W. Raw memory bandwidth is 960 GB/s while AMD separately publishes up to 3500 GB/s effective bandwidth. PCIe generation is omitted because only that historical guide published it; the live setup guide supports PCIe x16. Current HDMI 2.1 wording is used instead of the archived guide's HDMI 2.1a wording. Length, slot thickness and the four-output arrangement are AMD model-level or class guidance and partner cards can differ.
