AMD announced its next-generation graphics cards, the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT, at CES 2025, but curiously, neither of the two RDNA 4 graphics cards was present during AMD’s keynote, despite vendors showing off their new cards on the show floor with redacted specifications.

The second-tier card in the new RDNA 4 AMD gaming GPU lineup has been announced, with launch date, pricing, and final specs to come.

As we've discussed before, AMD didn't really talk about its RDNA 4-based graphics cards at CES 2025, despite briefing the press on the topic. The company gave a vague "Q1 2025" release window for the cards,

AMD now says its RX 9070 and 9070 XT graphics cards are expected in two months, despite stores already reportedly having stock of the GPUs.

AMD's new Radeon RX 9070 XT 'RDNA 4' graphics card launch will be 'bumpy' due to price pressure from NVIDIA and its new GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs.

There haven't been any clear cut leaks, rumors, or reports about the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT's performance, or the performance of RDNA 4 in general. We can surmise, however, that the card won't be a 4K powerhouse thanks to its price point range.

AMD's upcoming RX 9070 series GPUs are slated to officially arrive in March with a wide assortment of cards being made available at launch.

CES 2025 set up an old-fashioned graphics card battle between Nvidia and AMD, even if the latter showed up a little late. We know when the new RTX 50 series GPUs will debut (at the end of January) and we now know when AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT cards will hit store shelves: March.

The Radeon RX 9070 Series, the first GPUs from AMD to leverage its new RDNA 4 architecture, haven't been released yet because they are too expensive relative to the competition, according to new speculation brewed by a forum post from a PCGH insider who claims that the Radeon RX 9070 and Radeon RX 9070 XT have been delayed for reasons that include "unclear marketing funds" and trouble between AMD and its retail partners.
