AMD’s response to Nvidia’s RTX 5000 graphics cards will arrive next week, and its new GPUs have an aggressive price compared to the direct competition, Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti.
The AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT will be available for sale on March 6 for $549 and $599, respectively, one day after the RTX 5070 arrives. The Nvidia models, on the other hand, cost $549 for the RTX 5070 and $749 for the RTX 5070 Ti.
AMD claims that both offer “4K gaming at a 1440p price,” although it is making some unusual comparisons: according to AMD, the 9070 XT is on average 51% faster than an RX 6900 XT at 4K settings, and 26% faster than a four-year-old RTX 3090 at the same settings.
A competitive price and a perfect release date to make an impact
Although leaks had suggested that the price of AMD’s 9070 could start at $649, AMD surprised everyone today with suggested retail prices of $549 for this card, placing it on par with Nvidia’s RTX 5070, which costs $549.
The 9700 XT at $599 could even challenge Nvidia’s $749 price for its RTX 5070 Ti, as long as AMD has managed to deliver performance that can challenge these two cards from the RTX 50 series.
We won’t know the complete answer until the reviews of AMD’s cards appear next week, as well as the reviews of Nvidia’s RTX 5070. However, AMD is giving some hints about the performance in which their 9070 series cards might fit.
With an official power of 220 watts, AMD’s director of graphics product management, Scott Olschewsky, claims that the 4nm monolithic chip is “the most efficient GPU we have built.”
Each card also offers 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b ports, and they are PCIe 5.0 cards, although your motherboard does not necessarily need a new 5.0 slot or benefit from one. They will use standard 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
And even if you’re not a fan of AI, AMD will put that hardware to use in games with FSR 4, which comes with a new AI enhancement algorithm for its super resolution technology that will run exclusively on these RDNA 4 cards and newer.
