AMD is gearing up to release the highly anticipated Radeon RX 9070 Series GPUs, and the excitement is building as AIB partners like ASUS have started teasing their upcoming models. These GPUs are expected to have a splash in the gaming world and are sloted to launch as early as next week. Featuring AMD’s latest RDNA 4 architecture, the Radeon RX 9070 Series is expected to deliver exceptional performance at a competitive price point, making it a strong contender against NVIDIA’s 70-class and 80-class GPUs.
AMD didn’t have a CES 2025 as part of its line up, but confirmed that its GPUs would also be officially debuted at a standalone event. Brands like ASUS, though, are teasing us with teaser videos confirming who retail units are ready, closet to a January 23rd pre order date with a full retail release following close after. This makes the Radeon RX 9070 Series one of the most exciting GPU releases of the year.
What We Know About the Radeon RX 9070 Series
The Radeon RX 9070 Series will include at least two models: the RX 9070 XT, and the RX 9070. Designed for excellent performance per buck, these GPUs are looking to cater to the mainstream gamer as well as power gamers and enthusiasts. The RX 9070 XT has been rumored to cost between $300 and $1,000, and listed for around $500-$600, per recent retailer listings.
One of the most exciting aspects of the Radeon RX 9070 Series is its focus on delivering high performance at a competitive price. These GPUs are aimed at undercutting NVIDIA’s 70 class and 80 class cards, but not on performance, power, or feature parity.
Performance and Features
Built on AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture, the Radeon RX 9070 Series promises significant improvements in gaming performance. At a rumored price of $599, the RX 9070 XT is said to bring RTX 4070 Ti class performance, making it a compelling option for gamers on a budget that want a great experience from their graphics.
In addition to raw performance, the Radeon RX 9070 Series is expected to offer enhanced ray tracing capabilities and better energy efficiency compared to its predecessors. Detailed benchmarks have yet to be released, but early leaks indicate that these GPUs are more than worthy of an upgrade for anyone who possesses a card made with older RDNA 2 or RDNA 3 series GPU components.
AIB Partners Are Hyping Up the Launch
ASUS and other AIB partners have started teasing their custom versions of the Radeon RX 9070 Series GPUs, further fueling the anticipation. ASUS recently teased its TUF Gaming and PRIME models by posting that they are designed with robust cooling solutions and stylish looks for gamers.
It didn’t specify specific launch dates for the teaser, but the timing does mirror reports that pre-orders will begin on January 23rd. With retailers already stocking units, it’s clear that the Radeon RX 9070 Series is ready to hit the market, and AIB partners are eager to showcase their unique takes on these powerful GPUs.
Pricing and Value Proposition
One of the most compelling aspects of the Radeon RX 9070 Series is its pricing strategy. The RX 9070 Series is yet another product that AMD is well known for on par for value in the GPU market. At a rumored $500-$600 price point, if the RX 9070 XT lands, it’d beat NVIDIA’s RTX 4070 Ti for price, but with comparable performance.
This aggressive pricing could make the Radeon RX 9070 Series a go-to option for gamers seeking high performance without breaking the bank. AMD is trying to regain marketshare by disrupting the mainstream GPU market, and thus appealing to a wider set of customers by focusing on performance for dollar.
Final Thought
The Radeon RX 9070 Series is shaping up to be one of the most exciting GPU launches in recent memory. This series could turn over the GPU market and become a potent surprise to NVIDIA’s card offerings, thanks to its RDNA 4 architecture, reasonable pricing and solid performance.
For those in the market for a new GPU, the Radeon RX 9070 Series is definitely worth watching. While stay tuned for AMD’s official event next week and get ready for the next generation of gaming experience.
