The $549 and $599 price points put these GPUs in intense competition with NVIDIA’s RTX 50-series. Plus, AMD committed to an AI telecom solution layer at Mobile World Congress.

I've been a fan of AMD's CPUs for some time, but I've never made the move over to its graphics cards. With Nvidia being the market leader, some system requirements don't even list its competitors, and this has led me to (perhaps unfairly) looking over them in favour of Nvidia.

In a post on X, the folks at Hardware Unboxed claim that if the Radeon RX 9070 XT sells out shortly after launch, it would mean that retailers sold more 9070 XT cards than the entirely of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 series lineup.

AMD's Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT offer more frames with FSR 4, but will it compete on performance for the lower price?

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT ship on March 6th for $549 and $599, respectively, one day after the RTX 5070 arrives. AMD says they both offer “4K gaming at a 1440p price,” though it’s making some unusual comparisons to do so — according to AMD,

AMD has finally revealed details of its new Radeon graphics cards, the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 with some surprising details, including 7900 XTX-beating performance

But now, the wait is over. AMD has officially announced the MSRP of their latest mid-range GPUs. The RX 9070 and the 9070XT will launch on March 6th at $549 and $599 respectively. The pricing positions the GPUs close to the RX7900XT and the 7900XTX, which are quite a bit more expensive than these new releases.

When it comes to power usage, AMD says the RX 9070 XT has a TBP of 304 W with a recommended PSU wattage of 750 W, while the RX 9070 has a mere 220 W TBP with a 650 W power supply recommendation. Those are some impressively low power figures, particularly given the performance claims.

According to numbers shared by UNIKO’s Hardware on X (formerly Twitter), the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is experiencing significantly higher sales in China compared to its non-XT version.
