RX 9070 XT Spotted in GPU-Z and Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark

An unexpected leak from Hong Kong’s HKEPC has given us a closer look at the RX 9070 XT, with GPU‑Z screenshots of the card circulating online. According to the data, the card is powered by a Navi 48 GPU boasting record-breaking figures: 4,096 stream processors, 256 texture units, and 64 rasterizers. Clock speeds range from a 2.57 GHz base to 3.1 GHz in boost mode—hinting at an aggressive factory overclock. Additionally, the 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, paired with a 256‑bit bus that delivers up to 664.6 GB/s of bandwidth, marks a 15% improvement over previous AMD models.

HKEPC claims that in tests of Monster Hunter Wilds at 1080p on ultra settings, the card pushed well over 200 FPS. However, these benchmark screenshots have sparked a wave of skepticism; the absence of details regarding FSR activation or ray tracing makes the results hard to fully trust. Some experts speculate that the tests may have been conducted on an early engineering sample with power-saving features disabled, which could account for the unusually high clock speeds.

If these specs are confirmed, the RX 9070 XT could rival the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 at 1440p—but pricing will be a crucial factor. Based on current trends, AMD might market the new card as a cost-effective alternative to high-end models, emphasizing raw performance over AI features. For now, the community remains divided—some are bullish on an AMD revolution, while others recall the RX 7900 XTX, whose early tests similarly promised to "topple NVIDIA."
