A very rare sight indeed; that’s how I’d describe the price of the deal on AMD’s Gigabyte Gaming Radeon RX 9070 GRE graphics card, on sale at Newegg for $499<\/a>, a return to its lowest-ever price. It’s a very grim time for hunting down PC component upgrades, so to see an actual deal on a GPU that takes it below its MSRP in today’s climate is a bit of a shock. The MSRP on the RX 9070 GRE is $549, having only recently extended its availability outside of the Chinese market. To grab the $35 discount and hit the $499 deal price, you must provide your email address to Newegg by clicking the “Extra Discount Available” link. <\/p>\n

\u25cf Check out this deal at Newegg<\/a><\/p>\n

The Radeon RX 9070 GRE is built on AMD\u2019s RDNA 4 graphics architecture and uses the same Navi 48 GPU as the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT. Initially released for the Chinese market, 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. <\/p>\n

The RX 9070 GRE also cuts the available VRAM to just 12GB of GDDR6, but still sports bandwidth speeds of 18 Gbps on a 192-bit bus, producing 432 GB\/s of memory bandwidth in gaming and applications. <\/p>\n

It’s also reasonably power efficient, using just 220W total power draw. Identical to the standard Radeon RX 9070 GPU. <\/p>\n

A great graphics card for 1080p and 1440p gaming, the RX 9070 GRE sports 12GB of VRAM and boost clock speeds of 2920 MHz. View Deal<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In our benchmark testing, from our review of the Radeon RX 9070 GRE<\/a>, we found that the card averages 120 FPS at 1080p and 86.6 FPS at 1440p across our 11-game raster-only test suite. Perfect for 1080p and 1440p gaming, the RX 9070 GRE has ample VRAM, but pushing ultra settings on 1440p may tax the 12GB quite quickly. <\/p>\n

Taking a quick peek at our performance charts, you can see the GPU outperform the RX 9060 XT 16GB and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, and slip in closely behind Nvidia’s RTX 5070. <\/p>\n
