PowerColor has launched its new Reaper AMD Radeon RX 9050 8GB GDDR6 graphics card in Japan, according to a report from Japanese outlet エルミタージュ秋葉原. The card is now available at retail with a price tag of 52,980 yen including tax.
The Reaper model is the latest addition to PowerColor's lineup, featuring 8GB of GDDR6 memory. The product name suggests it belongs to AMD's RX 9000 series, though the report does not specify core counts, clock speeds, or other technical specifications beyond the memory configuration and pricing.
エルミタージュ秋葉原, which covers the Akihabara electronics district in Tokyo, reported the availability of the card on August 21, 2026. The outlet noted the launch without providing performance benchmarks or comparisons to other models in the RX 9000 family.
The 52,980 yen price point positions the Reaper RX 9050 as a mid-range offering in the current graphics card market. With 8GB of VRAM, the card appears aimed at 1080p and possibly entry-level 1440p gaming workloads, though the source does not confirm any performance targets.
The launch follows a pattern of AMD expanding its RX 9000 series across different price tiers, with PowerColor being one of the board partners bringing custom designs to market. The Reaper branding suggests a focus on cooling efficiency, but the report does not detail the cooler design or dimensions.
For buyers in Japan, the card is already on shelves in Akihabara, according to the report. Availability in other regions remains unconfirmed.
Watch for further reviews and benchmark tests from Japanese hardware outlets to see how the Reaper RX 9050 performs against competing cards in its price bracket.
