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.

AMD Radeon and Ryzen general manager has clarified why the RX 9070 and 9070 XT have been pushed back to a March launch after pushback online

Eyes and ears might be turned towards Nvidia's impending RTX 50-series graphics cards right now, but don't forget that AMD's next-gen cards, the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT, aren't far off, either.

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.

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.

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

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.

AMD's RDNA 4 GPU fiasco has already seen pulled presentations and mysterious delays, and a new March launch date just announced points to the company waiting to see what NVIDIA does with its RTX 5070/Ti cards.
