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.

In a couple of tweets, AMD elaborates on the reasons for the relatively late launch of the Radeon RX 9070 series GPUs.

The Radeon RX 9000 Series, a new generation of GPUs based on AMD's new RDNA 4 architecture that will include at least two models—the Radeon RX 9070 and Radeon RX 9070 XT—will be available for purchase beginning this March,

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.

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.

Not a moment too soon, AMD has finally put a release date on the much anticipated Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs. They go on sale in March. Yeah, just March, no specific day in March has yet been indentified by AMD.

If leaked pricing for AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT is accurate, it could mean Nvidia has a fight on its hands especially against the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti.

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.

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 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.
