Leaked AMD RX 9070 XT Reference Card Surfaces in China

Images of an unreleased Made By AMD (MBA) reference GPU design emerge, sparking speculation about its origin and purpose.

A Chinese forum post revealed images of an AMD RX 9070 XT reference design card, despite AMD not officially releasing MBA versions for purchase.
The card, featuring a three-fan cooling design and PCIe 5.0 support, was listed for sale at the MSRP of $599 and reportedly sold with a one-year warranty.
The design closely resembles AMD's earlier renders but includes slight differences, such as the placement of the Radeon logo and shroud details.
Speculation suggests the card could be a prototype or an engineering sample distributed to partners before AMD decided against mass production.
The existence of the card raises questions about AMD's decision to rely solely on AIB partners for production, leaving gamers without an official MSRP alternative.
