AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series Launch Event Slated for Late-February
AMD is planning a media event to formally launch the Radeon RX 9070 series next-generation graphics cards some time in late-February 2024, VideoCardz reports. The company could simultaneously announce the flagship Radeon RX 9070 XT, its second-best RX 9070, and new stuff on the software side, such as FSR 4, although availability dates of each could vary. Availability of at least the top RX 9070 XT could be expected in March, the report says. Both the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 are being prepared by AMD as performance-segment products, where they probably go up against SKUs from NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5070 series. Given the rather minor performance uplift the RTX 5080 yielded over its previous generation predecessor, the performance segment is in for some competition.
The Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 are both based on the 4 nm "Navi 48" silicon, which reportedly features 64 compute units for 4,096 stream processors, and a new generation AI accelerator that's both faster and more capable than the one introduced with RDNA 3. There is expected to be a significant uplift in the ray tracing performance, too, reducing the performance cost of enabling ray tracing in games. FSR 4 is expected to leverage the AI acceleration capabilities of RDNA 4 for its super resolution algorithm. Both SKUs are expected to have all 64 CU enabled, but differ in clock speeds. Both are expected to feature 16 GB of older GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface. As for the media event, we gathered from our post-CES roundtable with AMD that the event will at least be an online presentation.

The 7700 XT and 7800 XT are very similar in both specs and price, so I see not much point in discussing them separately.And how is the 7800 XT not in the same tier? It's $50 away from the 7700 XT.
Su interés es el mercado de baja,media,alta pero no el elitista,porque los numeros de ventas reales son la gama baja/media y alta.Steam lo confirma lo mas vendido son series 60 2060/3060/4060.
Las rx 9070 y 9070XT están orientadas como bien indican a pelear contra la serie 70/70 TI nvidia.Segun la optimización del juego una 9070XT en unos juegos dara + y se equiparara a una 4080 en otros se quedara a la par de una 5070 o 4070/ti.
Estos gpu es una ruptura en hardware y software con lo anterior.
Son gpu rediseñados desde 0 en arquitectura por ello ofrecen un mejor rendimiento con ray tracing a las versiones anteriores.
Fsr4 con todas sus caracteristicas nuevas incluida la IA fueron diseñadas para este hardware porque es el unico capaz para desarrollar la potencia completa de FSR4.
De hecho estos 9070 y 9070XT son menos potentes que un 7900XTX pero ofrecen un rendimiento en trazado de rayos similar al 7900XTX que es donde se le da mal a la XTX. Por lo tanto existe un equilibrio mejor entre el rendimiento nativo +fsr4+ trazado de rayos.
Los minoristas tienen stock, tienen un veto de confidencialidad y hasta que AMD diga que se puede lanzar el producto ellos tienen que respetar, además falta aclarar el precio final entre AMD y los distribuidores a falta de conocer los precios de nvidia para la 5070/5070TI.
Amd presentara precios mas bajos que Nvidia.
El evento de AMD se espera para 20 de febrero si bien se conoce que las gpu AMD no saldran a venta hasta el 6 de marzo.Salvo que nvidia aun siga sin aclarar el precio de las 5070.....
¡No hay que olvidar que AMD está dos años por detrás del rendimiento de Nvidia! 100 Ejemplo: AMD está luchando por superar el rendimiento de la Nvidia AD103 de dos años. Definitivamente, AMD se está quedando atrás.
Bien
As of Feb 2025, it is DLSS 4 that is "so good", while we've figured DLSS 3 actually sucks.We'll see. Previews look like AMD has addressed the weirdo 1080p=>"let me lie it is 4k" upscale issues:
so the "but what about glorified TAA upscaler, aka DLSS" will probably be rendered moot.
(RIP AI DLSS)
7900XT-ish perf for a $650 card is also nothing to complain about. If they go even lower it will be a hit.
DLSS vs FSR is 6-0 for DLSS
AMD wipes the floor with Intel in DIY, but is at what, 30%?
At least in Germany, GPU DIY split is 45-55%-ish, fluctuating, with either vendor having an edge.
OEMs are exclusively green. So, uh oh doh.
Still, Steam shows what:
AMD - 16.4%
NGreed - 75.54%
Well, about 18% if we check only the split between the two.
AMD needs to crack OEMs to change this situation, DIY is just minor part of the total market.
Typing this on an amazing AMD Advantage notebook with 6800m.
Wo we all can enjoy DLSS and great gpusLets just look real marketshare... okay?
Nvidia 90% Amd 10%
CPUs: Vastly superior product => 30%-ish market share, thanks to OEMs.
GPUs: A hands down better values products => 16.5% vs 75% (Steam)
Because OEMs.
And if we focus on DIY, cough, here is German data (MF is 25% of the market):
If Radeon will charge 650$ for RX 9070 XT than that will be another nail in it's coffin. Such a good times to beat crap out of nvidia but if they choose to not do that then........ as always.......
600$ is a good price for RX 9070 XT if it's truly can perform like a RTX 4080 Super in Raster and RTX 4070 Ti 12GB in RT. If it's performs only like a RX 7900 XT than it's ceiling is 550$ no more than that.
AMD is establishing itself as a "gamers gpu company" well let's see if it's true because "32GB" RX 9070 XT already is a clear red flag in favor of AI.
Also, AMD's steam share is raising, contradicting JPRs findings.
MSRP of 7900XT was $899.
For more than a year, the cheapest one could get it in DE was 850 Euro-ish.
Today it is 150 Euro below that.
RX 7800 XT - Die Size 346 mm² @499$
RX 9070 XT ~ Die Size around 350-390 mm² @599$ ???
RX 7800 XT is way closer to RX 9070 XT than to RX 7900 GRE (Cost wise and just technically)
