AMD Radeon RX 9000-Series Graphics Cards to Come Out in March

gamingbolt.com:

AMD looks like it is getting ready to release its new line-up of graphics cards soon. Head of the consumer GPU and CPU division at AMD, David McAfee, took to social media platform X to reveal that AMD is targeting a March release window for its new set of graphics cards.

While no specific release date has been announced yet, McAfee’s post indicates that AMD has been on track when it comes to ironing out its driver software for the upcoming Radeon 9000-series graphics cards.

“Radeon 9000 series hardware and software are looking great and we are planning to have a wide assortment of cards available globally,” posted McAfee. “Can’t wait for gamers to get their hands on the cards when they go on sale in March!”

With McAfee mentioning the entire Radeon 9000 series rather than any specific GPU, it is possible that AMD will be launching all four of the graphics cards it had unveiled during CES 2025 in March.

These four GPUs are the Radeon RX 9070, RX 9070 XT, RX 9060, and the RX 9060 XT. While the company hasn’t yet provided concrete details on things like the clock speeds on the new GPUs, it did reveal that the new naming system for the Radeon 9000-series graphics cards is meant to allow consumers to deduce their specs from equivalent GPUs from Nvidia.

The few technical details we do know about AMD’s new GPUs is are that the RX 9070 and 9070 XT will feature 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, while the 9060 and 9060 XT will feature 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, and the fact that all four new graphics cards are based on the 4nm process node.

During the announcement, AMD had stated that the RX 9070 and 9070 XT would compete with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4070 and 4070 Ti, while the RX 9060 and 9060 XT would compete with RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti cards respectively, both in terms of performance and pricing.

One of the key new features of AMD’s new generation of graphics cards revolve around FSR 4, which is set to bring with it improvements to high-resolution rendering up to 4K, as well as features like
