PowerColor Unveils Stunning Teaser Images of the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming GPU!

Thanks to Taiwanese producer PowerColor, we are now presented with our initial look at what the forthcoming generation AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT might appear like. These previewed visuals of the future flagship card from AMD emerge just days prior to an anticipated official announcement from the chip manufacturer at the CES 2025 trade show, with this particularly wicked card expected to become part of PowerColor’s red-themed Red Devil GPU lineup.

This upcoming flagship RDNA 4 graphics card from AMD represents its strongest endeavor to penetrate the expertise that Nvidia has held over the GPU arena since producing some of the finest graphics cards in recent memory. There is potential for excitement as well, with recent rumors hinting that it may deliver ray tracing capabilities comparable to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, despite earlier speculations this year that AMD was completely abandoning high-end Radeon GPUs.

The possible first sighting of the RX 9070 XT was revealed via a update on X (formerly Twitter) by PowerColor. In a cryptic update, the GPU manufacturer showcased a preview of its new graphics card showcasing the GPU’s rear plate design. A report from wcctech.com indicates that their analysis suggests that this specific rear plate does not correspond to existing RX 7900 GPUs and is rather from an unreleased model.

The initial image doesn’t reveal much, but it does display what seems to be a metal rear plate with PowerColor’s Red Devil emblem prominently featured. Another X update, however, provided a much clearer view of the new card, showcasing three fans and a striking red LED-lit, crystal-like structure at the end of the card.

While there’s admittedly no concrete evidence linking these visuals to the RX 9070 XT in PowerColor’s updates, another X user commented in response to this image that the “9000 series [is] looking impressive” and, in reply, PowerColor teasingly remarked “9000 series eh?” with an emoji.

Regarding the potential release of this card, RX 9000 launch speculation from earlier this week proposes that the timeline for these flagship GPUs becoming available in stores will be around February. This pertains exclusively to the flagship AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, however, with lower-tier models expected to launch in March, according to leaked intel.

What we do ascertain is that PowerColor’s Red Devil branding has, thus far, been utilized for moderately overclocked variations of AMD GPUs, but there will likely be no details about specifications until AMD officially reveals the GPU itself.

In any case, AMD is projected to unveil this new card next week at the CES 2025 trade show, marking the time we’ll receive our first official insight into the GPU itself. Meanwhile, feel free to explore our AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT guide for all the latest rumors and leaks regarding this new flagship GPU so far.
