AMD Plans Radeon RX 9000 Series Reveal February 28, Launch March

AMD has officially announced the reveal of its next-generation Radeon RX 9000 series, powered by the RDNA 4 architecture, scheduled for February 28 at 8 AM EST on the AMD Gaming YouTube channel, with retail availability set for early March. The flagship RX 9070 XT is rumored to feature 16GB of GDDR6 memory and a competitive price point of $599, potentially undercutting NVIDIA's RTX 5070 Ti by $150. This series is expected to incorporate advanced AI capabilities, particularly through its FSR 4.0 upscaling technology, to enhance gaming performance. While early performance leaks suggest the RX 9070 XT may be around 10% slower than the RTX 5080, it is anticipated to excel in ray tracing capabilities. AMD's decision to unveil the cards separately from CES 2025 aims to provide a more polished introduction to its new graphics technology. Overall, the launch is seen as a strategic move to regain market share against NVIDIA's latest offerings.
