The "hellhound" version has been $559 on Amazon & Newegg for a while:

https://www.amazon.com/PowerColor...9070-GDDR6

the Hellhound being a slightly more premium model that offers factory overclocking and a more robust cooler. The Reaper is a more budget-friendly, 2-slot card with a simpler design that is closer to the MSRP and has a smaller form factor. Both are based on the same AMD GPU but differ in clock speeds, cooling design, and price.

How does this compare to a 5060 Ti? This is matching that on price right?

This is a step above the 5060 Ti performance wise. A 5060 Ti can be found for around $100 less though.

Factory overclocking is now just a gimmick. All cards auto-OC now. The cooler is overkill on both cards. I'd get the one that fits your build.
Unless the hellhound has an extra power connector, there's really no extra OC headroom.
Link seems broken btw.

Pretty much. If they really want that "OC bios" sometimes you can get the supposedly lower card and flash the higher tier bios onto it.

This outperforms 5060ti by anywhere from 20-40%, but 5060ti is $429 retail and less on sale. 5060ti is generally considered to have better performance per dollar if you don't need the higher performance of the 9070.

Agreed. SD staff had adjusted the link, here is the direct one:

Maybe, but it's not guaranteed. It depends on how much you can undervolt your card. Some are stable at -120mv, some are only stable at -40mv. And you can also get a boost by overclocking an XT, so it ends up being a wash since you'd probably undervolt either card.

With Nvidia multi frame generation in many games it's alot closer. I have it works very good.Never have lag or graphic errors very smooth. Amds old frame gen is not the same.

Unless you need the smaller Reaper for a compact build the Hellhound is clearly superior.
That extra $10 gets you a better cooler & dual bios which will help prevent you from bricking the thing when playing around flashing some XT bios versions.
I am pretty sure the resale value will be at least $10 higher than the Reaper down the road.
All Powercolor 9070 XT and non-XT cards appear to use Honeywell PTM7950.

Yes you can bring a 9070 closer to the performance level of a stock 9070XT. One of the common starting points is flashing the XT bios onto the card. No that does not magically make it perform the same as a XT. Yes there is alot of performance on the table that can be gained from undervolting and overclocking the 9070XT card as well.

This isn't true. There is very little headroom on the 9070 xt it is one of the worst ocing cards this generation other than the 9060 xt and maybe the 5090(assuming power limited 5090)

The 9070 on the other hand is heavily power limited which is why it ocs so well similar to the Blackwell cards although it doesn't have the same memory headroom.

While the 9070 xt will always be better, when both are oced the 9070 is much closer.

A flashed 9070 can get around a 20 percent boost in synthetics which translates to around 10 or so percent boost in games.

The 9070 xt only gets around 10-15 percent in synthetics which translates even worse in synthetics around 5 percent. There is only so much perf you can get from pushing clock speeds and the 9070 xt can already hit 3100+ out of the box.

Some RX 9070 cards can be flashed with a 9070 XT bios, increasing the power limit.
