PowerColor has expanded its lineup by introducing two new models of the Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, now showcased on their official website.
Following the footsteps of PowerColor’s standout Red Devil Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, the Hellhound and Reaper series are also set to make a splash, offering top-tier cooling capabilities. As one of AMD’s key partners, PowerColor is enriching its RDNA 4 offerings—these RDNA 4 GPUs were initially revealed at CES. Until now, the Red Devil edition was the only RX 9070 XT model available on their site and is reputed to be the fastest among them all.
A few weeks ago, PowerColor gave us a sneak peek of the upcoming Hellhound Radeon RX 9070 XT, and details about the Reaper series emerged even before CES. Although these new cards were expected soon, they’re not yet available for purchase. Recently, Videocardz noticed that both the Hellhound and Reaper models have surfaced on PowerColor’s website, presenting us with a glimpse of their design.
Regrettably, the specifications from AMD or PowerColor have not been disclosed officially. Let’s focus on what we do know about the Hellhound RX 9070 XT:
This edition keeps it straightforward with a minimalist design, featuring a triple-fan setup and a substantial heatsink. It fits into a 2.5-slot space and sports the classic Hellhound logo on two of its fans. Notably, the PowerColor logo on the central fan presents a fresh design compared to the RX 7900 XTX. Connectivity options include four output ports: three DisplayPorts and one HDMI.
Meanwhile, the Reaper Radeon RX 9070 XT also features rounded edges and a sleek shroud, maintaining the triple-fan setup. It’s another 2.5-slot card, offering similar I/O connectivity as the Hellhound. The main distinction between the two lies in their boost clocks, with the Hellhound expected to have a higher one.
As of now, details on the specifications for the PowerColor RX 9070 XT cards remain under wraps. It’s likely we’ll have to wait a bit longer than initially expected for these details to emerge. AMD plans to officially launch these cards in March, so it’s wise not to expect a specs reveal just yet. According to AMD, there’s still work to be done on the software stack to fine-tune the performance of the RX 9000 GPUs, which explains the delay.
