Summary

  • AMD has released details of its new Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT GPU cards, which will be available from 6 March, starting at 599 respectively.
  • The new cards are advertised as being able to compete with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti, with the latter currently retailing for $749 upwards.
  • While the RTX 5070 has not yet launched, it will match the RX 9070 on price, with the Radeon card having a slight edge on VRAM, and the RX 9070 XT providing enhanced boost clock speeds and ray tracing performance.
  • Both AMD cards are set to support FSR 4, the latest iteration of AMD’s upscaling and anti-aliasing solution, which is becoming more similar to Nvidia’s DLSS, particularly in its use of AI and machine learning.
  • FSR 4 is set to have more game compatibility at launch than FSR 3, with this number anticipated to rise to 75 by the end of 2025.
