New Radeon RX 9070 GPUs Boast 3.1 GHz Speeds & 340W TDP

Acer is turning heads with its latest release, rolling out six brand-new models from the Radeon RX 9070 series of graphics cards, each boasting up to 3.1 GHz in boost clocks. This launch includes a mix of base and overclocked (OC) versions that cater to both performance enthusiasts and more casual gamers.

In a noteworthy move, Acer released its fresh set of RDNA 4 GPUs, introducing the striking BiFrost and Nitro editions. While Acer has been dabbling with AMD cards for some time, this release significantly raises their profile, providing a total of six models—with three unique options for each version of these powerful graphics processors.

Dive into the lineup, and you’ll find two Nitro editions each for the Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070, alongside a BiFrost edition for both models. The BiFrost variants are designed with Acer’s signature flair for aesthetics and top-tier cooling, while the Nitro versions target mainstream users without sacrificing competitive performance.

The BiFrost Radeon RX 9070 XT OC 16 GB model stands out with its sophisticated triple-fan cooling system, adorned with a sleek shroud and eye-catching silver accents near its central fan. It employs FrostBlade 4.0 ring fans featuring a counter-spin configuration, efficiently pushing heat away. Measuring around 295 mm long and with a thickness of 2.5 slots, this factory-overclocked powerhouse reaches up to 3.1 GHz, making it a formidable option for gamers seeking an exceptional experience.

Accompanying this is the BiFrost Radeon RX 9070 OC 16 GB, which mirrors its sibling’s design yet slightly adjusts with two 8-pin power connections instead of three. Despite both being rated at 340W, the RX 9070 typically demands less power. The dual 8-pin connectors, together with the PCI-E x16 slot, ensure a steady supply of 340W power, though the overclocking potential doesn’t quite match its XT counterpart.

Switching gears to the Acer Nitro series, you’ll find both OC and non-OC models for each of the RX 9070 cards. The Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9070 XT OC is another triple-fan behemoth reaching a 3.1 GHz boost, and running on three 8-pin connectors just like the BiFrost edition. It matches its sibling’s length and comes with a 340W thermal design power (TDP). Meanwhile, the non-OC variant runs at 304W, still wielding three 8-pin connectors, peaking at a 2970 MHz boost, and offering up to 2.4 GHz in game mode.

Wrapping up with the Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9070 OC and RX 9070 16 GB models, these cards hit speeds of up to 2.7 GHz and 2.52 GHz respectively. The OC variant uses 245W power, while the non-OC holds steady at 220W, all while sharing the same design template.

Even though Acer hasn’t laid out the full pricing roster yet, they’ve announced the Nitro Radeon RX 9070 XT OC 16 GB will set you back a cool $829.99. Have in mind the BiFrost edition might even surpass that price point. Availability details remain under wraps, but look forward to seeing the Nitro RX 9070 XT OC hit the U.S. market this coming April.
