AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT March launch explained by gaming GPU head

AMD’s David McAfee has responded to complaints surrounding the upcoming Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT launch date. The Vice President and Normal Supervisor of Radeon and Ryzen added context surrounding the delay after the graphics playing cards have been initially anticipated to reach this month.

To this point, the 2 AMD RX 9070 graphics playing cards have had a bizarre time since they have been revealed at CES 2025. Though introduced, AMD didn’t say a lot in regards to the playing cards, their specs, or their launch date. As a substitute, it was right down to the corporate’s card-manufacturing companions to showcase the playing cards on the present flooring. They appear like being a cheap various to Nvidia’s RTX 5000 choices however the full image continues to be removed from clear.

Nevertheless, after preliminary hypothesis that the playing cards would seem this month or in February, this week AMD confirmed that the playing cards wouldn’t be launching till March. That is although shops already seem to have inventory of each playing cards in some instances.

McAfee, responding to YouTube channel {Hardware} Unboxed, stated on X (previously Twitter) that the delay is with good purpose. In a submit, the overall supervisor defined that AMD is pushing the date again to present “a little bit further time to optimize the software program stack for optimum efficiency and allow extra FSR 4 titles.”

We’ve had an FSR 4 arms on expertise and located it to supply an enormous enchancment over FSR 3. Whereas it’ll solely be usable on the Radeon 9000 playing cards, it appears AMD needs to make sure that it’s supported in as many locations as doable as video games ratchet up their upscaling and body technology assist.

He additionally added {that a} “big selection of companions” will likely be becoming a member of the launch for the playing cards, and wish to construct “preliminary stock at retailers”. McAfee caps off his response by saying “You need to count on many extra associate playing cards accessible at launch.”

It seems that AMD is enjoying it cautiously when launching its subsequent two GPUs, in addition to making an attempt to curtail any points that would pop up. We’ve already seen the corporate keep away from naming a worth for the playing cards – with RX 9070 worth delay rumors pointing to aggressive pricing by Nvidia being a key issue.

On prime of this, AMD appears to be making ready to have inventory at launch, which isn’t one thing that both Nvidia or Intel can say they’ve had deal with on. Whereas Intel’s Battlemage Arc B580 GPU is restocked semi-regularly (and scalped), Nvidia RTX 5090 and 5080 inventory is claimed to be “very uncommon” at launch.

We’ve but to see a lot in the best way of real-world efficiency for the RX 9070 and 9070 XT. At CES, a Name of Responsibility: Black Ops 6 benchmark did present that the weaker 9070 carried out admirably at 4K, excessive settings, pushing almost 100fps. Whereas on-line feathers have been ruffled by the information, our greatest graphics card updates will simply want to attend a little bit longer, it appears.
