AMD Announces Radeon RX 9070 Series GPUs Starting at $549
The RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT aim to compete in the mid-range market with improved ray tracing and performance per dollar.
- AMD's new Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards, priced at $549 and $599 respectively, will launch on March 6, 2025.
- The RX 9070 XT features 64 RDNA 4 compute units, a 2.97 GHz boost clock, 16GB of GDDR6 memory, and a 304W TDP, while the RX 9070 offers slightly reduced specs with 56 compute units and a 220W TDP.
- Performance claims suggest the RX 9070 XT delivers a 42% improvement over the RX 7900 GRE at 4K, with stronger gains in ray tracing compared to rasterization.
- The RX 9070 series is positioned to compete with Nvidia's RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti, offering lower prices but trailing in ray tracing performance and memory technology.
- Retailers such as Newegg, Amazon, and Overclockers UK are expected to stock the cards on launch day, though high demand may lead to limited availability.
