AMD has finally launched RX 9070 GRE globally, claiming 22% faster, 26% better value than Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti.
Last year, mid-2025, AMD expanded its desktop RX 9000 series graphics card lineup with the launch of the 9060 series with Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB and 16GB. However, this meant there was a gap in its lineup wherein the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti could squeeze in between the 9060 series and the higher 9070 series. Interestingly, AMD already had an answer for this in the form of the 9070 GRE, at least in some parts of the world like China.
In terms of how it stacked up, we had estimated that the RX 9070 GRE would land somewhere between the 9060 XT and the 9070, leaning more so towards the latter. As such, it would have been able to easily take on the GeForce 5060 Ti and could have been especially dominant in rasterization scenarios and would be trading blows during ray tracing.
Today at Computex 2026, alongside new X3D processors, AMD has finally brought the 9070 GRE to the USA as well as several other parts of the world. The company has shared performance numbers for it versus the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti. In normal rasterization, which AMD has labeled simply as gaming, at 1440p, the company claims up to 40% better showing. Big advantages are expected in titles like Monster Hunter Wilds and Resident Evil Requiem. The closest results are in games like Arc Raiders and Overwatch 2. These are relatively lighter compared to other AAA titles.
In ray-tracing next, AMD actually touts close to similar gains as it promises up to 30% better performance. This is in Assassins' Creed Shadows. Other titles like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 could also see an impressive split between the Red team and the Green team's cards.
Overall, AMD says the new RX 9070 GRE delivers 22% better performance on average against the 5060 Ti, and aside from that, the company is also promising 26% better value than Nvidia's GPU. In order to calculate this value, AMD considered a $569 price point for the 5060 Ti 16GB, whereas it has priced its own 9070 GRE at $549. The company has used the lowest available pricing data based on Newegg.
