AMD has announced the upcoming Radeon RX 9070 graphics card, set to launch in Q1 2025. This GPU is based on the latest RDNA 4 architecture, featuring AI-powered FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) upscaling. This article will discuss everything we know about the upcoming AMD Radeon RX 9070.
AMD Radeon RX 9070 Overview
Key Features and Architecture
The Radeon RX 9070 uses RDNA 4 architecture, built on a 4nm process. AMD has optimized the compute units, improved ray-tracing performance, and enhanced media encoding quality. It will feature second-generation AI accelerators, third-generation ray-tracing accelerators, and a second-generation radiance display engine. AMD clarified the shift from the RX 7000 to RX 9000 series, stating that the RX 8000 series will be used for RDNA 3.5-based mobile GPUs. The RX 9000 series is specifically for RDNA 4 desktop GPUs.
FSR 4 Integration
The RX 9070 will introduce FSR 4, AMD’s machine learning-based upscaling and frame-generation technology. FSR 4 is exclusive to RDNA 4 GPUs and will be supported in games already using FSR 3.1. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be among the first titles to support this feature.
Performance and Competition
AMD has not provided detailed performance metrics yet. However, a branding slide suggested the RX 9070 may offer performance comparable to Nvidia’s RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4070 Super. Nvidia is also expected to reveal its RTX 50-series GPUs soon.
Meanwhile, AMD is updating its Adrenalin software with new AI-powered tools. These include image generation, document summarization, and a chatbot to assist with graphics settings.
