AMD’s latest mid-high tier GPU lineup, the Radeon RX 9000 series, has officially launched, with availability starting this week.
The series includes the Radeon RX 9070 and Radeon RX 9070 XT, emphasizing value as Team Red continues to compete against NVIDIA, which has yet to introduce a GeForce RTX 50 series card with at least 12GB of VRAM. Designed for ultra-high frame rates at 1440p and strong 4K performance, these RDNA 4-based GPUs reportedly deliver a 20% performance boost over the previous-generation Radeon RX 7900 GRE.
