AMD looks to be really gunning to take down Nvidia’s RTX 5070, and heated competition in the mid-range GPU space is an exciting prospect.

While NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang proudly announced new RTX 5000 GPUs during the keynote speech, AMD pulled its RDNA 4 news — including Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 cards — from

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.

AMD's Corporate Vice President and General Manager, David McAfee, tweeted on Tuesday that Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD, Financial) has pushed back its retail launch period for its RDNA 4-based graphics cards to March 2025.

AMD confirms that RDNA 4's launch is happening in March, with the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT arriving after NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti.

AMD is previewing its next generation of GPUs at CES today, based on its latest RDNA 4 architecture that includes AI-powered FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) upscaling. The Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 will both be available in Q1 from a variety of video card manufacturers,

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 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.
