AMD launches Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT to compete

AMD is launching its new Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT graphics cards on March 6, priced at $549 and $599, respectively. This move targets NVIDIA's mid-range market, where prices for its RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti are significantly higher. The new AMD cards feature advanced upscaling technology, Fidelity FX Super Resolution 4, which enhances performance and image quality. The 9070 XT is designed for 4K gaming, while the 9070 is better suited for 1440p. AMD claims the 9070 XT outperforms the Radeon 6900 XT by 51% and the RTX 3090 by 26% in 4K gaming. The company also plans to release cheaper RX 9060 cards in the second quarter.
