SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB PULSE is Sapphire's custom-designed graphics card based on the Navi 48 XL processor and the AMD RDNA 4.0 4nm design. Built for gaming and content creation at 1080p to 1440p in today's games and apps. This partner model uses a custom PCB and cooler that can support higher clocks than the reference card. Custom cards typically cost at or above the reference MSRP due to enhanced cooling and components.
For technical specifications, SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB uses the NAVI 48 chip made on the 4nm process. The 4nm node allows about 53.9 billion transistors on a 357 mm² die. The GPU has 3,072 Stream Processors, 192 Texture Mapping Units, and 96 Render Output Units. It includes 48 Ray Tracing Cores for ray tracing and 96 Tensor Cores for AI acceleration.
SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB comes with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory. Memory connects over a 192-bit interface with 432 GB/s bandwidth. This bandwidth helps keep performance smooth at high settings.
RDNA 4 in the Radeon 9000 series brings FSR 4, a machine-learning upscaler that raises image quality and frame rate without heavy overhead. Anti-Lag 2 support reduces input latency and works with frame-generation workflows. AMD’s next wave, FSR Redstone, adds ML-based super resolution and frame generation plus ray-regeneration and lighting features to clean up motion and reduce artifacts. The cards support PCIe 5.0 and modern outputs DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b for high-refresh 4K and beyond. Ray tracing sees architectural upgrades with faster BVH handling and improved traversal for steadier performance in complex scenes.
Monitors connect via 3x DisplayPort 2.1a and 1x HDMI 2.1. It uses a a PCI-Express interface slot and draws power via 2× 8-pin. A 650 W PSU is recommended.
