AMD has announced pricing and availability for its Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards: the RX 9070 at $549 and the RX 9070 XT at $599, available from March 6. The RX 9070 features 56 compute units with a game clock of 2.1GHz, while the RX 9070 XT has 64 compute units and a 2.4GHz game clock. Both cards include 16GB of memory and connectivity options like DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b. AMD claims a significant performance boost over previous models, especially in ray tracing. Additionally, the new FSR 4 technology will be exclusive to these cards at launch.
Today, AMD officially revealed the pricing and availability details for the Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards. The RX 9070 will retail for $549, while the RX 9070 XT is priced at $599. Both models will be available starting March 6.
The company has also disclosed the complete specifications for these graphics cards. The RX 9070 features 56 compute units, a game clock of 2.1GHz, a boost clock of up to 2.5GHz, and a power target of 220W. In contrast, the RX 9070 XT boasts 64 compute units, a 2.4GHz game clock, a boost clock of up to 3.0GHz, and a maximum power limit of 304W.
Both models come equipped with 16GB of memory, a 256-bit memory interface, and 64MB of Infinity Cache. They also support DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b for connectivity. Additionally, AMD is continuing to utilize the older 8-pin power connectors.
AMD has released first-party benchmark results comparing the new cards with the RX 7900 GRE. The results indicate that the RX 9070 is, on average, 21% faster at 4K resolution across more than 30 games, showing significant improvements in ray tracing titles due to enhanced ray tracing performance in the RDNA 4 architecture. The RX 9070 XT performs even better, being 42% faster at the same resolution with the same titles. AMD also claims that the 9070 XT is almost on par, just 2% slower, than the $750 Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti at 4K in the same games.
Additionally, AMD shared more information about FSR 4, its next-generation super resolution and frame generation technology. FSR 4 is tailored for the new ML hardware in RDNA 4 cards, offering much better image quality compared to previous FSR versions that were hardware agnostic. FSR 4 will be exclusively available on the 9000 series cards at launch, with AMD promising support in over 30 games at launch and over 75 games before the end of 2025.
The RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT were initially revealed at the beginning of January during a keynote at CES 2025. At that time, AMD provided a brief teaser of their existence without elaborating further, as Nvidia had not yet launched its products.
The RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT will be available exclusively through AMD board partners, which include Acer, ASRock, ASUS, Gigabyte, PowerColor, Sapphire, Vastarmor, XFX, and Yeston. The OEMs have had stock with retailers for a while, ensuring good availability on launch day.
