AMD Unveils New Graphics Cards to Compete With Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4070 and RTX 4060
AMD has unveiled its next generation of graphics cards during CES 2025. Running on the AMD RDNA 4 architecture, the new line-up of Radeon RX GPUs features a new naming convention, and will compete against Nvidia’s 40-series mid-range graphics cards. Interestingly, the company pointed out during its presentation that its new naming convention for the GPUs is meant to allow users to directly compare them with Nvidia’s offerings.
Dubbed the Radeon RX 9070, RX 9070 XT, RX 9060 and RX 9060 XT, the graphics cards feature upgrades to their compute units over the previous RX 7000-series graphics cards. The chips in the cards are based on the 4nm process node, and will compete directly with the GeForce RTX 4070, RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 4060, and RTX 4060 Ti respectively.
While AMD hasn’t yet announced a release date for the new GPUs, the company and its partners will start releasing the graphics cards during Q1 2025. Unfortunately, AMD hasn’t revealed too many details about the clock speeds and number of compute units in the new graphics cards. We do, however, know that the RX 9070 and its XT counterpart will feature 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, while the RX 9060 and 9060 XT will feature 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM.
Along with upgrades to hardware, the new GPUs will also make use of AMD FSR 4, which will allow high quality 4K upscaling, as well as other features like FSR Frame Generation, and AMD’s Anti-Lag 2 technology. While games that support FSR 3.1 will also automatically support FSR 4, users will need a GPU running on RDNA 4 to make use of the FSR 4 features.
