AMD is preparing to unveil its highly anticipated Radeon RX 9000 series 'RDNA 4' on February 28, 2025, with the RX 9070 XT set to launch shortly thereafter on March 6, 2025.

In a historic move, AMD will not release a reference model for the Radeon RX 9070 series, relying exclusively on AIB (Add-In Board) partners for the production of custom graphics cards.

This shift marks a significant change in AMD's approach to its graphics card lineup, as it has traditionally offered reference models.

Pricing rumors suggest that the RX 9070 XT may be priced at $599, while the RX 9070 could retail for $499, potentially positioning them competitively against NVIDIA's offerings.

Official renders of the Radeon RX 9070 series have been released, showcasing artistic representations of the cards, although they are not yet available for purchase.

Performance leaks indicate that the RX 9070 XT may be less than 10% slower than NVIDIA's RTX 5080 in 4K gaming scenarios, suggesting a strong performance capability.
