AMD Radeon RX 9070 Reviews Reportedly Dropping March 5
[summaraize]
Although AMD continues to keep quite on their upcoming Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs, it seems that they’ve recently sent out NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) to members of the press, detailing upcoming key dates.
If all is true, we’ll have full details on the upcoming RDNA 4 architecture, and the first AMD Radeon RX 9070 reviews will follow shortly after.
It Won’t Be Long Before We Have A Date and Pricing for the RX 9070
We’re just ten days away from March 2025, and despite the silence, AMD plans to launch the RX 9070 early next month. There are so many questions that we’re still waiting for answers to, but the biggest is whether or not AMD can undercut Nvidia’s RTX 5000 series GPUs by offering a lower price tag with far better gains. Well, we might have an answer for that real soon, as NDAs have been sent out to multiple outlets, revealing the big RDNA 4 launch event, supposedly happening on February 28.
This was shared by the tech outlet VideoCardz, which received documentation of the NDA. Along with this date, March 5 is apparently when the review embargo for the RX 9070 is expected to lift, with the card launching on March 6. The docs do not mention if this is solely the RX 9070, or if it also includes the RX 9070 XT, the beefier variant of the RX 9070.
Coincidentally, the review embargo falls the same day as Nvidia’s RTX 5070 launch, which will be retailing for $549. How this card will stack up compared to Nvidia’s RTX 5000 series GPUs, we’ll that will be something we’ll find out soon enough. The general hope in the community is that despite AMD now chasing AI, they’ll be able to offer a GPU with solid specs, at a far more reasonable pricing than what Nvidia is currently offering. AMD’s lack of pricing reveal for the RX 9070 series has had many thinking that they were reconsidering their original MSRP, as if they surely do plan on being competitive with Nvidia, they’ll need to undercut them by a lot, while offering comparable, if not more performance than Nvidia’s mid-range cards in the RTX 5000 series.
