AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Details Emerge Ahead of January Launch

AMD's upcoming mid-range GPU is positioned to compete with Nvidia's offerings, with leaks suggesting strong performance and competitive pricing.

AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 GPUs are expected to be fully unveiled on January 22, with pre-orders rumored to begin on January 23 and retail availability on January 24.
Leaked benchmarks suggest the RX 9070 XT may rival Nvidia's RTX 4080 Super in rasterization performance but trails in ray tracing capabilities.
The RX 9070 XT is expected to feature 16GB of VRAM, a 4nm RDNA 4 architecture, and support for AMD's new FSR 4 upscaling technology, aimed at improving AI-based performance.
Pricing rumors indicate the RX 9070 XT could start at $479 for AMD's reference model, potentially undercutting Nvidia's RTX 5070, which is priced at $549.
AMD's decision to delay the RX 9070 XT's full reveal from CES 2025 was attributed to time constraints, with plans for a dedicated event to provide more in-depth details.
