AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series Graphics Aim for High Speed at a Solid Price

Following up on its CES announcement, AMD dropped some more information about its upcoming Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT RDNA 4 chips -- notably the target pricing of $549 and $599 -- to address 1440p and 4K players, respectively. And they'll be available from its add-in-board partners, such as Acer, Asus, Sapphire, XFX, ASRock, Gigabyte, PowerColor and more, on March 6. AMD says these cards are "built for 4K gaming at a 1440p price," comparable to the recent Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti. We'll see: It seems like the company is counting on its software to do a lot of heavy lifting, though that's not uncommon. Radeon RX 9060 cards are slated for later in the year. We did get more specs about the cards.
