AMD has announced the launch month for its upcoming RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards, set to debut in March 2025. Though details like specifications and pricing remain undisclosed, anticipation is high as these new RDNA 4 GPUs look to compete with Nvidia's RTX 5070 series. AMD's VP of Radeon Graphics expressed excitement about providing a diverse selection of hardware to gamers. Despite some confusion around the launch messaging and the competitive landscape, initial review samples of the RX 9070 lineup are already in the hands of outlets, fueling speculation about AMD's strategy to respond to Nvidia's dominance in the GPU market.

The AMD RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards are scheduled for release in March 2025.

The RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT are part of AMD's efforts to reclaim market share in a highly competitive segment, as they currently hold a mere 12% of the discrete GPU market compared to Nvidia's impressive 88%. The upcoming launch is set against the backdrop of Nvidia's RTX 5070 series release in February 2025, making the competition even more intense for AMD as they strive to present compelling new products amidst pricing challenges and market pressures.
