A leaked GPU-Z screenshot showing the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT has confirmed many of the rumours regarding its specifications. Moreover, AMD confirmed it would announce the Radeon RX 9070 to the world at an event scheduled for February 28th.

A GPU-Z screenshot (version 2.62) shared by HKEPC reveals the Navi 48 GPU, showing 4,096 cores for the RX 9070 XT. The card is reported to feature 16GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit memory bus. The listed memory bandwidth suggests 20 Gbps memory, capable of delivering 644.6 GB/s. The screenshot also shows the card running Adrenalin 24.30.01.05 drivers and appears to be overclocked to 3,100 MHz. This is higher than the 2,970 MHz reported for PowerColor's Reaper model (believed to adhere to AMD reference specs) and even surpasses the 3,060 MHz clock speed seen on the Red Devil RX 9070 XT. While the screenshot indicates PCIe 5.0 x16 support, it's unclear whether this version of GPU-Z accurately reflects the card's capabilities at this stage.

HKEPC has also published a gaming benchmark for the RX 9070 XT. The screenshot shared is of the Monster Hunter Wilds benchmark tool in Chinese. It shows the card achieving 36,102 points, averaging 217.71 FPS at 1920×1080 resolution with what seems to be the Ultra settings preset, FSR (presumably Ultra as well), and frame generation enabled. For comparison, that's on par with a Radeon RX 7900 XTX-based system.

As for AMD's announcement, the company has officially announced a showcase event for the RDNA4 series on February 28th. David McAfee, Corporate VP and General Manager of Client Channel Business at AMD, confirmed this on social media, stating the event will be live-streamed on YouTube. While this event will provide full specifications, pricing, and performance details, it's important to remember that this pertains to the announcement of the cards. The actual product launch is likely to be scheduled for early March, as reiterated by AMD. A specific launch date has yet to be revealed, but it should be known at the event.

KitGuru says: Although the gaming benchmark looks promising when compared with AMD current-gen graphics cards, the uncertainty of some aspects (mistranslations) makes it too soon to draw conclusions. Fortunately, that should change in the coming weeks.
