PowerColor bringt Radeon RX 9070 XT und RX 9070: Red Devil, Hellhound und Reaper

PowerColor has unveiled its custom models of the new Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070. The usual suspects are back: Red Devil for enthusiasts, Hellhound for the price-performance-conscious and Reaper as a new addition for purists. There are not many bells and whistles or revolutionary innovations, but solid hardware for those who are not satisfied with reference models.

The three faces of the RX 9070 XT & RX 9070

PowerColor once again relies on proven cooling concepts and slightly increased clock rates. While AMD’s reference cards are intended for the masses, these variants are aimed at specific user groups.

Red Devil: Maximum features, maximum price

The flagship of the series comes with a lavish VRM assembly, Honeywell PTM7950 thermal pads and a sophisticated heatpipe layout on a 12-layer board. A new feature is the “Keystone”, a kind of control center for various features, from RGB to fan control. And because “limited editions” never hurt, there is also one with a “Red Devil Metal Keycap”. Because why not.

Hellhound: Solid technology with optical gimmicks

The Hellhound series offers a mixture of performance and aesthetics. If you like LED gimmicks, you get blue lighting with dark mode. Those who prefer a more minimalist look can opt for the “Spectral White” version, which comes completely in white – PCB, shroud and I/O cover included. There are no surprises in terms of performance: decent clock rates without extreme overclocking potential.

Reaper: Inconspicuous but efficient

The Reaper is new to the range and comes without frills. No aggressive RGB lighting, no design gimmicks – just a simple card with efficient cooling and solid clock rates. 2970 MHz boost in standard mode, while Hellhound and Red Devil get a few more MHz out of it with an OC mode.

Availability and prices

The cards are to be released at the same time as AMD’s reference models on March 6. As always, the pricing remains a mystery – AMD sets the price at 599 or 549 US dollars, custom models are likely to be slightly higher. So if you can spare a few extra dollars for better cooling and questionable design decisions, you can go for it here.
