PowerColor has just expanded its lineup of Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics cards with two new models now showcased on their official site.
### Hellhound and Reaper Series in PowerColor’s Arsenal, Joining the Red Devil Radeon RX 9070 XT with Top-Tier Cooling
If you’re a gaming enthusiast keeping tabs on AMD’s RDNA 4 developments, you might have already heard about PowerColor’s RX 9000 series, revealed earlier at CES. Initially, their website exclusively featured the Red Devil edition of the Radeon RX 9070 XT, lauded as the speediest among their offerings.
Recently, PowerColor gave us a glimpse of the Hellhound Radeon RX 9070 XT, and even before CES, whispers about the Reaper series were making the rounds. While these cards are not on sale yet, eagle-eyed followers at Videocardz discovered both the Hellhound and Reaper editions listed on PowerColor’s website, unveiling their designs.
Though official specs from AMD or its partners are still under wraps, let’s talk about what we know of the Hellhound RX 9070 XT so far:
The design of the Hellhound RX 9070 XT is refreshingly straightforward, featuring three fans and a hefty heatsink. This 2.5-slot card proudly sports the iconic Hellhound logo on two of its fans, while the middle one flaunts a newly designed PowerColor logo, a marked change from the RX 7900 XTX. It offers connectivity options with four output ports: three DisplayPorts and one HDMI.
Meanwhile, the Reaper Radeon RX 9070 XT has a more rounded edge and maintains a clean, triple-fan setup. Also a 2.5-slot card, it mirrors the same I/O connectivity as its Hellhound counterpart. The main contrast between these two is likely in their boost clocks, with the Hellhound anticipated to push higher speeds.
Despite the intriguing reveals, detailed specifications for any PowerColor RX 9070 XT cards have not been made public yet. Official specification announcements are expected to take a bit longer than initially hoped. AMD has slated these cards for a March release, meaning we’re not likely to see a detailed specs rundown in the immediate near future. According to AMD, more time is needed to refine the software stack, optimizing performance for the RX 9000 GPUs, which has led to a delay in their launch.
