NVIDIA is and continues to be the gold standard for graphics cards, and AMD’s Radeon cards could just never quite stack up. The bad news doesn’t end there; Intel’s recent launch of their B580 GPU makes matters much worse.

Hot new GPUs are making CES 2025 a particularly noteworthy event. Nvidia announced its RTX 50 series Blackwell GPUs, and AMD unleashed its Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT. The timing sets up another exciting showdown between the graphics giants and introduces a new twist: Intel has made another attempt to enter the game (at least in the midrange market),

16 GB of VRAM will put the 9070/9070 XT in line with the Radeon RX 7800 XT, which makes sense given the 9070, if it weren't for AMD's naming scheme change-up, would be an RX 7800 XT. It also puts it in line with the newly announced RTX 5070 Ti and 5080, which will both have 16 GB of (GDDR7) VRAM.

The rumors were true! AMD unveiled the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT during the company’s CES 2025 keynote on Monday, powered by the next-generation RDNA 4 architecture with a new AI-focused version of FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) in tow.

AMD has taken the wraps off its next-gen graphics cards, the Radeon RX 9000 series, replete with a revamped performance architecture.

With AMD's CES 2025 press conference short of new gaming GPU details, fresh benchmark leaks show the RX 9070 XT really is looking strong.

Thanks to B&H, we now know when the preorders for AMD's RDNA 4 graphics cards might start -- but a lot of questions remain.

AMD's upcoming RX 9070 was benchmarked during CES 2025, and although it's not much, it's promising.The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox
